One day after Thanksgiving on a day perfect for Christmas tree shopping, I saw a pile of lopped off branches. The guy said I could have as much as I wanted for free (or go inside and choose nicer quality bundles of a greater variety to buy.). I filled my trunk with Fraser Fir stems. Was able to make two homemade REAL wreaths this year.

On a typical day, though, there's a dedicated parking lot right on site, making it very convenient. The greenhouse was filled with a great selection of plants, all of which were well organized and appeared healthy and well cared for. At the front of the store, they also have a fun assortment of unique planters, vases, and other plant accessories that are worth browsing, even if you're just stopping in for a few plants.

The downside is that this place is quite pricey, but that comes with the rarity of some plants. Other plants you could get cheaper elsewhere. So, I would research which plants are common in big box stores and then which plants are only in specialized stores like this one and then determine whether the higher price tag is worth it. Everyone is nice and knowledgeable so if you're also new, it's great to strike up a conversation and learn how to take care of the particular plant. I come here for my wife and I stay to stare at the chickens.

Maryland Gardens Tree and Shrub Farm is a great place. Located close, in North Potomac, it is…read morelarge and filled with many different types of trees growing in the ground. The owner, Tom Moseley knows a lot about trees and bushes. Tom knows what kind of soil and how much sunlight is ideal v.s. tolerable for each plant. He is also knowledgeable about common tree diseases and pests (fungus, deer, etc.) and can guide one to a better choice of planting location or type of tree. Spring and fall are great times to plant trees and shrubs. (Late spring/summer heat and winter cold can be bad for a transplant.) We bought a Crepe Myrtle and a Magnolia from him in 2020 and they are both doing well. That is not the case with trees we have bought from others--from them only 1/2 the trees we bought survive 6-months. We returned in October 2022 and bought a flowering Crab Apple tree from the MD Gardens Tree and Shrub Farm. Tom Moseley provides the optional service of planting his trees and we had it done October 7th. This spring (April 2023), it bloomed magnificently. It's worth it to have Tom M plant because he checks the other trees one might have. For example he and his helper noticed we had red/black fuzzy "Wooly Bear" caterpillars at the base of our Crepe Myrtle. He removed them and cut back the undergrowth around the base that encouraged them. On a previous occasion (autumn 2020), he helped us deep fertilize a Plum tree that was sub-par. (The next spring it was thriving.). Mr. Moseley really cares for all trees and shrubs and knows a lot about them. Just call and makes an appointment to drop by; he has very flexible hours.

I spent $5,000 on camillas that day alone, and when my gardener saw the "immature leaf" he said I had Camellia yellow mottle virus which is transmitted by root grafts and propagation of diseased stock. The only cure for this is to buy from a reputable nursery not Home Depot. I thought that buying at AMERICAN Plant and paying obscene prices meant healthy plants. The only remedy is to tear out $50,000 in camellias and start over in 5 years. All I have to do then is find a reputable nursery.

Any time I've had any sort of question about lawn care, they've made themselves available in a timely manner. They've kept their prices consistent even as inflation has risen. Over the years I've used them for lawn aeration, reseeding and the usual maintenance stuff. They've sharpened blades for me, given me free seeds and all sorts of goodies free of charge. And most of all, my lawn shows their work. I'm not sure why there are negative reviews here, as I can only speak to my own experience. They've been great and I'll stick with them.

The manager Mr. Carlos didn't care to look at the pictures. He refused to replace the tree or refund the money despite the 1 year warranty the sales people said we had when they were buying the tree.
