Oak Hill Nurseries has to be the best plant nursery in the Norwood/Westwood/Dedham area. Marion,…read morethe owner, has helped my wife and I buy at least a dozen plants over the last year, and we have been so happy with all of them. Her tips on watering and caring for the plants have helped me keep them all alive, and We couldn't be more thankful for her caring customer service. I go to Marion for 90% of our plant needs. Sometimes other, larger nurseries are better for more standard plants, but Marion's plants are generally much cooler and higher quality. My favorite plants from Marion have been our Pony Tail Pam, Silver Queens, snake plants, begonia, ficus and air plants.

I came to Oak Hill lost on what to plant in my yard and frustrated by landscapers that were with astronomical or weren't plant experts (or both). Immediately Marion jumped in as though she'd been my gardening advisor for years. I shared pictures of my yard, she helped my devise what might go where and which plants needed certain environments....already she knew 100% more than me and the landscaper I had tried before. Not only did she visit my house to consult, she delivered to me and sent me all sorts of ideas and pictures. I am so grateful for her help- and so is my yard!! Highly recommend.

Every May, my sister sends me a gift certificate for my birthday and I go with a friend on a trip to Weston Nurseries in Hopkinton to kick off the gardening adventure for the year. I love going to Weston Nurseries because they make everyone feel like a garden expert. Their staff are helpful and friendly and if they don't know an answer, they'll find someone who does! I was very pleasantly surprised to see their huge selection of perennials had been laid out alphabetically this year!!!!! No more aimless wandering looking for astilbe in the middle of the hellebores or sedum. The prices are a bit higher than other local shops or big box home improvement stores. However, aside from two of the mini plants I bought from the clearance section that died, I have never been disappointed in the quality of things I've purchased there. Shopping at Weston Nurseries is a wonderful experience!

While I was on the phone arguing with ProFlowers, my husband began looking for Florists that may be able to assist. He found Courtyard and they were a life saver. While they could not do a flower arrangement, they were able to put together a beautiful dish garden. And deliver it within the hour. They saved the day for all of us - My Mom was able to have a lovely arrangement at her service and her children did not look like chumps. THANK YOU

I decided on AJT because I saw on their website that they sell irregular flagstone by the piece, which I've been looking for. They had a ton to choose from in a variety of colors, and I was helped by the coolest dude who maneuvered the tricky pieces so I could check out some I couldn't get to on my own. He showed me a couple pieces he thought were interesting then loaded all I'd chosen to purchase into my car, some of which he'd shown me, as I paid inside. While I was there Kailey, who I've decided is the queen of AJT Supplies, also helped me with every aspect of selecting 3/4" river rock for my new garden project, which I will be ordering bright and early tomorrow.
