Faddegons had almost everything we wanted. We went on Memorial Day at 2 pm and even though there…read morewere many shoppers, human "traffic" flowed nicely; everyone was courteous. They have large carts to load plants onto. The carts actually moved along smoothly. A knowledgeable staff member Kenny circulated to answer all of the questions customers had. He was patient and helpful. Purchased: Beautiful deep pink Hibiscus Tree for the Deck Organic Tomato Plants Dwarf Marigolds, Portulocca, and large red Spikes for pots on the front porch. Potting Soil A staff worker packed my car with plants and four bags of potting soil. There was a bee on a Marigold flower, and I asked him to get it to fly away. He did. The large Greenhouses were stocked with blooming healthy annuals and perennials. It was a sea of beautiful floral colors. One of the three Greenhouses had vegetable plants and herbs. They did not have Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, so I will look for it elsewhere. Checkout was organized and efficient. There were three checkout stations!

We initially stopped in for the pop up coffee stand that runs here during the week but was happy to…read morewalk around the nursery. Everything had such an aesthetic section and it was so nice to see the different plants and plant necessities. Love their other trinkets too like candles, books, and garden decor. If I'm in need of some greenery, this would be the place I have in mind!

I've been using them since they were on Route7 almost 30 years ago~ The Bakery is remarkable and an added bonus!

Great service with reasonable prices and fairly good selection of what's left. A great resource especially now that seedlings are in such great demand.

A very pleasant surprise…read more This is a local market oriented greenhouse. While there I noted what was for sale consisted primarily of annuals and herbs but all were robust and very competitively priced. When you walk in your are immediately lifted by the brilliant color, the humidity, fragrance, and well maintained plants. The green houses are immaculate. EXTREMELY warm and helpful salespeople; dealing with them made browsing a genuine pleasure.

I love nature, and one of the (many) reasons is related to the sort of wonderment that I feel when…read moreI realise I'm surrounded by other living beings. Nurseries and gardens help me relive that realisation. We've been to this Hewitt's a number of times, and on this latest visit, made very similar observations. They have as wide a variety of plants, trees, and gardening supplies as other nurseries in the region, but perhaps the plants are not getting as close attention as at some others, Nisky Faddegon's, which I realise is more an exception, not the norm (I've seen plants in worse conditions at Lowe's and Home Depot). It may also be that this is past the peak buying season, but the wilting leaves and perished stalks always manage to tug at my heartstrings. They had just what we were looking for: arbricola green! We grabbed two of the healthier looking. There was a variegated variety which was denser than what we got. Their indoor plant selection is still one of the best around here, and the staff there have always been friendly. I hope the locals continue to support Hewitt's and they stay open for many more decades.

The edible was what I was there for: we spent ages deciding between different varieties of (very healthy) cucumber starts and patio tomatoes. They even have stuff that I'd never seen in a nursery around here before, like lemongrass. Even if you don't have any pressing need for petunias, the greenhouses are a really nice environment for wandering around and smelling the flowers for a while.

We stopped by here recently after the attractive lighting and misting behind the shop window caught our eyes while driving through the street, and what we found inside was just as interesting. Apparently opened about six weeks ago, this shop has a variety of pots and plants for sale (and for our viewing pleasure, of course) and a few odds and ends, like the plant hangers. The prices vary but generally seem reasonable, and apparently there's a 50% off sale going on with a purchase of a live plant and a pot. The wall of plants was beautiful to look at, and it seems like the staff can help with plant selections and care instructions depending on whether you're a beginner, a pro, or somewhere in between. I like this shop and hope they do well.
