Beautiful House Warming present that I sent to my friends. I wasn't in the store, but this plant was picked for me.
Robert M.

I ordered a House Warming Plant for friends that moved to Montgomery. Wanting to keep it local and use Small Business. The woman I talked with was very helpful. I gave her what I was looking for, didn't carry it. But I'm saying that she made an Awesome choice for me. My friends called this morning and told me how beautiful and Perfect it is. Sent along a photo to show me. I couldn't be happier with the choice that was made. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES there what makes this country GREAT.

You guys did a fantastic job with my mom's mother's day flowers! I live 2 hours away and we traditionally go flower shopping together, so this super cute watering can arrangement was just the ticket. Everything looks fresh and beautiful. Definitely won some brownie points!

Greenhouses with unique and colorful geraniums as far as you can see.
Anthony U.

There is only one reason I drive 40 miles to Schaefer Greenhouses and that's for the selection of geraniums. They host colors, shades, and combinations not found anywhere else in Chicagoland. They do a LOT of other things here. I once got a floral arrangement for an ailing coworker that was beautiful and well priced. They also grow some other speciality flowers and tropicals and they offer full wedding services and landscaping contracting. Since I haven't used many of their other services I didn't include them in my review. The reason for just four stars is that prices are a bit higher. Especially on lawn ornaments and pest control products. It's worth it to me to make additional stops at big box home centers for those supplies including bags of dirt or manure. Back to geraniums. They start almost all of them from seed and hold exclusive distribution of some color patterns not found elsewhere in the area. You need to see them to appreciate the true unique qualities. They offer many of their annual plants in sizes ranging from an eight-pack all the way up to gallon size monsters. And their experts put together some beautiful show patio or hanging planters but I prefer to do all my own arranging. If you get basic herbs or veggies there is a good chance those were brought in from outside sources. Same as with Home Depot or Lowes. Schaefer does have a nice selection of hydrangeas and perennial grasses but those are brought in as well. I will continue to shop here every spring for the geraniums that set my house apart from the rest. No matter if you have a balcony with one patio bucket or a huge wrap around porch with hanging baskets, this is where to get the stuff to just wow your neighbors.

but I got the mushroom compost as well, and either in the top soil or the compost, there was composted manure.

Tried out their U-Pick Vegetables and zinnias with my son today. It was a great time. We picked a…read moremason jar's worth if zinnia's for $7. We also picked some San Marzano tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, carrots, and sweet peppers. I would love to buy some chicken eggs next time. My son also enjoyed feeding the goats and can't wait to come back to feed the chickens. All of the staff members were friendly, but Ken was amazing. Even my son said, "He was super nice!"

Since the new owners, Not Just Grass, bought the business from Tim Norris and his family and still…read moreuse the Spring Bluff name, the quality of certain services has gone down. My recent experience is an example of this, I have been a long time customer since Mr. Norris owned the business; I was planning on continuing to use the services of the new owners/Not Just Grass as usual for all my landscape needs. Last April 2024, after working out details in March, I had old shrubs removed from the front of our house and new and different types planted. However, the work supervisor (Tyler) did not come with the work crew to lay out the planting plan, he had given them a work diagram, so unfortunately some of the shrubs were planted too deep, spacing was wrong on one side, and no soil amendments added, etc. I had asked for dirt and mulch to be added, but no mulch was added around the new plantings (I had to do a couple of bags myself around each plant later to help keep the soil moist after watering). They also left deep ruts in the yard/grass with equipment while removing the old, large yews. I contacted Tyler about the ruts and he did have them come back to fix that, however a year later now and the area is still sunken and no grass in spots (I will have to do a proper repair myself again). Tyler did not come back to supervise that original rut repair work. Flash forward to Spring 2025 in March, I contacted Tyler again because 1 of the shrubs had died last Fall (it was planted too deep) and another also looked dead at the time (before leaves started coming out), I let him know this and asked about replacement plants since they were under the 2 year plant warranty that Mr. Norris always provided and currently, Not Just Grass still honors. I never got a response, it was basically crickets. I sent text, e-mail, I called and left a message. I called the office and spoke to Kris who relayed my concern/messages on, but still no communication/follow-up from Not Just Grass/Tyler. Finally, I had run out of patience and had enough of the poor quality of service and called the owner, Greg V. (spoke to Kris again because he was out) and I also sent an email to the plant nursery. I explained to Kris and in my email(s) the lack of communication on their part and that I just wanted a replacement plant for the dead one (that I expected the same variety, a certain size to match the ones that did survive, and for it to be healthy), and that I would come to the nursery to pick it up myself. I also explained that I would be taking my business elsewhere from now on because of the poor service and quality of work. The owner did respond once in an email trying to tell me that Tyler had reached out on May 9, 2025 (nope, I never received a text, phone call or email from him and give me a break - May 9th 2025, when I had been trying to communicate with him since March 2025!!). The owner offered to have them come plant the replacement plant or I could pick it up as I had told them that was my plan. I replied that I hadn't heard from Tyler and that I would come pick it up and what I expected the quality to be, etc. When I went to pick up the plant, I was basically given the cold shoulder by Tyler (landscape supervisor) and Mackenzie (the plant nursery manager), I did see them, but they ignored Kris when she asked Mackenzie if she wanted to talk to me, Kris was told they were busy as they whizzed past us. Tyler indicated to us that the plant was down at the end of the nursery building. Kris, their Admin. who is basically in the office the majority of the time taking care of phone calls and orders, was actually the person who helped me find the plant (it did have my name on it) and load it into my car for me. The soil in the container was very dry, but that also made it easier to lift, and helped us out. I watered it well when I got home. So, there's my recent experience with this company (Not Just Grass) still using the Spring Bluff Nursery name, but not providing the quality of service, plant knowledge, and dependability that the former owners provided to their old and new customers. Also, their prices have gone up! It's just sad and no way to treat loyal customers! I have found another landscape company, thankfully, who have already planted the replacement shrub, added soil amendments, fixed the other planting that was struggling, and nicely mulched the area the way it should have been done last year.
