This might be my new happy place! I was in need of some garden essentials (mostly flowers & mulch)…read moreand was looking for a real garden center that wasn't part of a big box store. Benedict's has a large selection of shrubs, flowers, herbs and more! Everything was beautifully grown and cared for and the staff is excellent. There are open bags of mulch to help you decide what color and texture you want for a good price and they will help you load it right into your car. This will definitely be my go-to in the future. Make sure you say hi to all of the ducks, turkeys, chickens and peacocks!

There are an amazing amount of trees in every direction. A short walk up the main hill and we located our perfect tree. Before we got back down to the main area one of the staff picked up our tree to bring it down to get wrapped. Great day and beautiful tree!

Well our 2nd year back they raised the prices to over $100! We decided to NOT get the same tree as the previous year, hoping it will hold up better. We found our perfect tree paid the hefty fee and were on our way. Well, what do you know the tree is dead already and it's not even Christmas yet! We will not be going back here again.

I came to pick out a real Christmas pine tree. Since I've been here so many times before (I know…read morethe drill) so I walked over to the trees & began browsing. This year the biggest tree they had was 8ft. which was surprising. They usually have taller trees & more of a selection. I did love the price! It was very affordable to me! The young man who helped us was pleasant & talkative. The woman @counter was nice & friendly to me. Overall,it was a simple,warm,& positive experience even w/ the smaller selection than last year.

They have a great selection of annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, decorative pots and more. There are many unique plants that I've never seen elsewhere. Most recently, I was searching for succulents, and they had a vast array, with lots of beautiful arrangements to provide inspiration. While Oliver's is a geared toward high-end gardeners, I find their prices to be about the same -- sometimes better -- than those of other garden centers in Connecticut. The knowledgeable staff are friendly and helpful. Oliver's is also community-minded. In my neighborhood, we are working to transform a vacant, overgrown, ugly lot into a nature preserve and bird sanctuary. Oliver's has been a true partner in this endeavor, providing native tress and shrubs that are well-adapted to the particulars of the space and lots of good advice about care, placement, etc.

I would highly recommend this family owned business to anyone who would like to get their…read morelandscaping project done correctly the first time. We hired James and his dad's company after a terrible experience with our first landscaper to redo our grass areas. I personally did all the flower garden designs and mulch myself so that I can save money and also because I enjoy doing garden landscaping. We renovated our entire 1/2 acre lawn plus our enormous sidewalk, which was full of trees and wood chips and rocks. James and his dad only use high quality seed and soil and kept their word. They promised me an amazing lawn if I followed their maintenance advice which was to use Teed & Brown, another amazing landscaping maintenance company. My renovation project was completed in about 2-3 days in October of 2020 and I waited 9 months to write this review so that the grass could come in 100% and it did. Today my yard looks like it should be on the front cover of a landscaping magazine. Its full, thick, dark green and looks like a carpet. I was told it takes up to 2 years for the grass to grow in nice and thick, but I can't imagine my yard looking any nicer than it does today, only 9 months after the renovation project. From a cost perspective they are a bit pricier than other landscaping companies, but I honestly believe I got what I paid for and nothing less. You cannot go wrong with JP Philbin Landscapes & Nursery, if you are looking to do the job perfectly right the first time!

Great company and even better people.

Been going to Ferris Mulch for many years to drop off leaves and weeds in my pickup. I'm not in…read moreDanbury so I pay to bring the leaves here. I'm very diligent in making sure I don't mix twigs or branches in the leaf piles and that there is no plastic or garbage mixed in. I have the same workers year after year loading the truck that know to keep free from debris. Well last week I had to unload myself, which I never do as I'm 66 years old, however my workers were unavailable and I needed the truck emptied. While unloading the weeds, mixed with dirt, a Ferris Mulch worker, in his mid forties, came over as I was unloading and found a very small piece of fabric. I said I'm sorry I will sift through and make sure no fabric gets by. Instead of acknowledging my apology he rudely said that's not good enough. He stood there and watched me sift through and before I was even done said started to criticize my efforts. Mind you I'm a senior citizen, probably 20 years his senior. I get the issue, but maybe be a bit more understanding that it was an honest mistake that I was taking full responsibility for and attempting to correct being nothing but sincere and apologetic. There was no need to be rude about it, no matter who, but especially an elder. Where are the days when elders were treated with respect. I would have went to the office to make note of it, however I was to exhausted and over heated to do so at the time. There is a respectful way to address people especially when they are being respectful to you and this Ferris Mulch worker was very disrespectful. Maybe he talks to his kids that way, but he shouldn't talked to customers that way. Which maybe they are forgetting I am a customer and they make money off of what customers bring to them. Will be looking to go elsewhere.
