We had a very nice and knowledgeable young lady who helped us pick out a "White Dogwood tree". It was the end of the season last year and the tree is growing great. It was reasonably priced ! We definately will go there to this nursery again and will recommend it to our friends! Kathy L. read more

We love this nursery, and use them for virtually all of our plant and seed buying during growing season. Our second home is on Camano Island, and this nursery is super convenient and always beautifully stocked with gorgeous plants and loads of fun garden accents. Customer service is friendly and very efficient! Prices are also very reasonable -- important these days when prices for plants, etc. can be so steep at some of the other nearby locations. read more

Nice local nursery for all your gardening basics and seasonal flowers and plants. Helpful employees. My only criticism is the high cost of annuals as compared to places like Fred Meyer, and at times a lack of unique plants. read more

What a cool place with nice people! For some reason, I have never been to this nursery, even though I've lived on Camano for a few years. I was looking for rose bushes and they had a great selection. Staff member, Cabrina, helped me pick out six beautiful choices and even gave me some helpful advice in the process (I don't I have a lot of experience with gardening). Prices seem reasonable and comparable to other nurseries in the area. read more

Orchards Nursery is the place to go for all your gardening needs. They have always been readily available to answer my questions via email and will hold plants for me when necessary. Very knowledgable and always well stocked. When I learned that Orchard's is actually their family name, not just a business name, I knew I had found the right place! read more

I have frequently stopped at Orchard's Nursery ever since they opened years ago. I have watched them grow in size and services offered. I am always in awe at the knowledge of every employee about the plants, their care, suggestions, etc. Most people who shop there have "green thumbs" but not me. The employees always kindly offer care information so I don't kill off my purchases. My favorite purchases are usually garden art, too, and what a fabulous selection they have. read more

We bought a fountain from Orchard's Nursery last fall, but didn't have a spot ready for installation, so they kindly stored it for us until we were prepared. Once we were ready, they responded quickly, and we scheduled a delivery date and time. They arrived exactly as promised and did an excellent job placing the fountain exactly where we wanted it. They even took care to protect our lawn when moving the heavy fountain over the grass. read more

Good Selection, Value & Great Service ! They have increased the orchard every year and work very hard to please customers! read more

I recently purchased a rhododendron and six lavender plants from Orchards. They were too big to all fit in my car without getting crushed. For a reasonable fee, Orchards offered to deliver them to my home the next day. The plants arrived in great shape and the drivers called before dropping them off so I knew what time to be there. The nursery itself is quite beautiful and has a huge selection of plants. The staff are both knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely be giving them my business again. read more

The monstera that I picked up from Orchards is very happy in its new home. This nursery has lots of outdoor plant selection + a pretty tightly packed indoor section as well. Reasonably priced + lots of fun and funky pots to pick from too. As with any plant store, they're dangerous! I have to practice lots of self restraint in them so I don't walk out with all their inventory :) read more

Why drive further when there are many nurseries near by? Because Orchids Nursery in Stanwood have employed knowledgeable, kind, and pocket book friendly staff! I needed a replacement for a solar light and instead of telling me they don't carry it anymore they send me a link to order it. Now that is outstanding service. And my potted plants are less expensive and more prolific than any I've bought locally. They carry a great variety of yard art too! Great place to wander and ponder! The best! read more

Awesome selection of great looking, reasonably priced plants and trees. We stopped in on a whim, I spotted the store as I was heading in the opposite direction and couldn't resist the opportunity to wind through all of the aisles of beautiful plants. The trees were my favorite, there were just the right amount of them that you didn't feel like you're lost in an orchard. Of note, there was a large selection of roses as well, they were just starting to bloom and the scent was absolutely heavenly! Definitely worth a stop! read more

In July, 2023, I had visited Orchard's Nursery to purchase Six Bags of Black Mulch Bark! As I am a Senior at a nearby Senior Community, I did not know how I would be able to spread these Six Bags of Bark, by myself! So, I had called Orchard's Nursery, and one of their young Staff Members had volunteered to stop by my Apartment to spread the Six Bags of Bark over my Two Flower Beds! When I had "checked back" with this young Staff Member, I had happened to talk with her Supervisor, Sarai, and Sarai has volunteered to come to my Apartment and to spread the Bark, also, as an "act of kindness" to a Senior lady! I can't say enough "good things" about a Business that would volunteer "such kindness" from two of their Staff Members! Sarai, you did a beautiful job for me! May God Bless your future "on this earth"! read more

Always friendly and helpful with gardening/landscaping questions, special orders, etc. Beautiful plants! Happy they are in the neighborhood

It is fun to browse all the selections at Orchards--their outdoor displays were redesigned this year and it's so much easier to find what you're looking for. I planned a new ornamental garden this past spring, and was delighted that I found the trees, shrubs, and perennials that I had on my list on display at Orchards among their extensive selection of Japanese maples, rhododendrons, evergreens, lavenders, daylilies, roses and more! The friendly staff are helpful and knowledgeable about local growing conditions. They offer delivery service to home as needed, and the plants are delivered at a predetermined time in great shape. I value the personalized care and variety of plant and gardening materials available at Orchards, a local family-run small business--shopping there is a great experience for gardeners compared to going to a big box store. read more

Not very helpful staff whenever I go in. I asked about cranberries and the lady stated they never had cranberries, the website stated they had cranberries.... They do have a wonderful variety of plants just another place with bad customer service! read more

Love all the decor products and plants at Orchards! Great customer service and knowledgeable on all plants and flowers! Love this place! read more

The staff is super helpful. I came in looking for deer proof plants and they pulled out a list of recommended plants and showed me where they were found. Excellent service and selection of plants here! I will be back. read more

I believe in shopping local and have purchased from Orchards since 2013. It had always been a great place, friendly employees always willing to help. Last summer I splurge and bought 2 pink dogwoods. They were place next to each other. Got the same sun and water. After a couple of months one started to have leaves tuning brown. I moved the one away from the other and took a branch and a plastic bag down to orchards to have them. Tell me what I needed to do to fix the issue of browning leaves. I was told I was either over or underwatering and I explained the other one. I'd purchased was doing great and that was still the answer. The Spring it did not Bud up in fact it died when I went into orchards to tell them as they have a guarantee for a year I was. Informed to bring the tree back. I hoisted the tree into my vehicle and took it back only to be shamed that that this tree had died. And told they're only going to replace then try to tell me. They didn't have any more of this species which they actually did and then tried to blame me for the bark falling off of a dead tree. This was quite a shock to me that I'd be treated this way so i'm not shopping at orchards anymore. read more

I have spent thousands of dollars patronizing Orchards Nursery for the past few years. When I first shopped there, I met Mark the owner. He was friendly, knowledgeable and most of all he was patient in answering questions about plants and amendments. He even extended 20% off of my purchase since I had just missed their anniversary sale the week before. My Husband said to him that his courtesy showed good will and it would win me over as a lifelong customer. Throughout the pandemic we have continued to purchase from this nursery. Their selections are better than Home Depot or Lowe's but not as vast as Swanson's near Seattle. You do end up paying a premium on the prices given its location and that it is a mom and pop kind of retail. We liked that it was family owned with Mark at the helm. Sadly things are different now. The new generation of management and seasonal staff are not as customer service oriented, knowledgeable or driven to provide the best customer experience. Several times staff have told me they don't have a product without even trying to look for it and I end up finding it myself. One exception is the woman who answers the phone. She is always amenable to help check stock or pricing if I called. Recently, I phoned Nick who is their "tree expert" to inquire about their return policy or plant guarantee because my Bonfire Maple that I purchased from there in 2021 was having issues. Immediately Nick refuted me. He was adamant that 2022 is the first year he has ever stocked the variety Bonfire, that he was the one in charge of ordering trees so he would know and most importantly, that I didn't buy it from their store. I told him that I was looking at their nursery tag for the tree with the receipt from last year and that I had spoken with him and Mark about the tree at the time of purchase. We continued debating the legitimacy of my purchase for a while then Nick offered his "expertise" that it had been a wet spring and the weather has been tough on maples. I was well aware of this but really what I learned was that Orchards Nursery does not accept returns and there are no plant protection or guarantees. I got off the phone feeling offended that I was, in a round about way, accused of lying about my purchase. Well, Nick, attached with this review is my receipt from last year with the plant tag. A couple of days later I phoned the nursery hoping to speak with Mark but he is now seldom in the store and was out of the country. I spoke with his wife to offer feedback on my experience. The instant she got on the phone she was rushing me off, telling me that she was very busy. I shared with her my experience regarding her staff but she was not interested and interrupted me repeatedly. She gave me a feeble apology without addressing anything and offered some excuse about seasonal workers. It is true what they say, the ethos and culture of a business comes from the top down to their employees. Unfortunately without Mark, it is evident why their customer service has become lackluster. I will no longer spend money at a business that treats their customers like they don't need their business. read more

Super friendly plant experts who are passionate about what they do! Healthy selection of a variety of plants. The best in the area!

Always something new, always something on sale. The people are helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. It is a rare occasion when I don't find something, but even if I leave empty-handed, it is always a pleasure walking among the flowers ;-) read more

Used to like this nursery but in the time of Covid-19 not so much. They have made no accommodations for safety. Staff not wearing masks. A small sign urging social distancing but no marks on the floor. Narrow aisles where safe distance cannot be maintained. No contact-free checkout. Old fashioned punch in numbers on machine everyone has touched and no tapping of credit cards. I won't be back until there is no fear of corona virus. Was also disappointed in selection of impatiens but veggie starts were good. read more

Orchards Nursery has a core group of people who not only know plants but like them. If you're a gardener this is your kind of place. I also like that they hire young people from the area. Nice plant selection, great service. read more

This place just dove from my favorite local nursery to one I will never patronize again. I just spent well over an hour picking out two cartloads of shrubs which were flagged in the field as 20% off. When I checked out, however, the young clerk informed me that was last week's ad. I told him the signs were still out in the field, fully expecting him to honor their signage. He just told me again that was last week, and pointed to some newspaper ad showing this week's ad. I walked out and won't return. read more

We were here visiting a friend for a party and thought we would stop in for something 'living' as a gift. Beautiful selection along with lots of fun stuff indoors. The help we received was great! read more

What a gem this place is! I've been shopping here for about five years now, and have learned not to go anywhere else by experience. Not only are they knowledgeable and helpful, they provide very healthy starts. Big box stores do NOT care for their plants, which results in bedding plants and perennials that are weak and THAT result is more work for YOU. It is worth every penny to get the best and they have the BEST. I have bought two roses from them, and both are doing fine. One of their daughters is a horticulturalist specialist in roses and although she is young and I've been growing roses for many years, I've learned a lot from her. Why drive to a big box store to buy inferior plants that will struggle and cause extra work? Keep your dollars local!!! read more

I am so impressed with all the fruit trees I have purchased here. They are healthy and grow vigorously. I purchased during a sale and they even included a tree variety in the sale price wasn't included in the barefoot fruit tree sale because they only had it in a container. Customer service has always been awesome! read more

GREAT nursery and the people who work there are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Prices are excellent, nice quality of plants and selection from the usuals to the unusuals. My preferred nursery now. read more

Terrible customer service from a surly employee. My husband brought backup documentation, including pictures, for 4 large arbor vitae ($120) we purchased at Orchard's in May 2015. Despite being planted together in a row along our fence, every other one has died. Two are thriving , but she accused my husband of not watering them or planting them where they got a disease. Really!? Every other one? She said my husband could come back some other day when the owner, Mark, is in, but she didn't see any reason to work with my husband. We have been frequent customers of Orchard' but today's experience determined that we will never shop there again and will make sure to spread the word about their terrible customer service. read more

I bought 4 ceanonthus-Calif. Lilac and was told to feed the 10-10-10 fertilizer. When I got home and started to plant them. I saw they were actually 2 plants in one pot, root bound. I called the store and when Christina checked she assured me they where just one plant. and I said are you sure? I then said I would gently try to pull them apart. There were two plants in all 4 pots. When I went on line to learn more about Calif. lilac, they want poor soils with good drainage. I was told to feed them like "little pigs." They actually need acidic soil, little to no fert. I took them back.and was not offered any explanation other than they got the plants through another nursery and the owner said by phone that planting them 3 inches apart would have been OK,--but they did give me my moneyback -$105. for 4 plants and fertilizer ! Following thier instructions, I would have killed the plants--DO NOT SHOP HERE!!!!! read more
