I've spent nearly $1,000 at Millstone Nursery, but after what happened today, I will never…read morereturn--and I strongly warn others to stay away. About three weeks ago, I purchased a tree-form David Austin rose from this nursery for nearly $100. The day I brought it home, I noticed early signs of black spot disease on several leaves. I immediately planted it in a high-quality grow bag, pruned the diseased foliage, and treated it with copper fungicide. I've cared for it meticulously ever since. Despite all efforts, the rose continued to deteriorate--no new growth, no viable buds, and even some grafted stems fell off, clearly indicating structural and physiological issues with the plant. This was not caused by neglect. It was a sick plant from the start. Today I brought it back to the nursery--not to demand, but to request help or even a replacement. What I received was hostility. The owner told me that "bringing back plants like this could kill everything in our nursery," and insisted I take it away immediately. She literally told me "don't bring it inside, take it away, you're going to contaminate us." We were treated as if we were carrying biological weapons, not seeking a fair resolution. When I pointed out that the plant had shown signs of disease almost immediately, I was told "all our plants are guaranteed disease-free," and that any issue must be "your fault, because you planted it." I was also told that unless they had planted the rose for me, they offered no guarantee or support whatsoever. This is not how responsible nurseries treat loyal customers. Even big box stores like Lowe's and Home Depot offer a 1-year plant guarantee--Millstone, by contrast, hides behind a "Final Sale" policy while pushing diseased plants at premium prices, then refuses to take accountability when problems arise. I love gardening. I treat my plants with care, knowledge, and deep respect. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect honesty and basic decency. What I got instead was arrogance, evasion, and disrespect. Avoid this place. They sell expensive plants with no accountability, and if anything goes wrong, they'll blame you. If you value your money, your time, and your dignity--go elsewhere.

In October 2024 I came to Millstone searching for Leyland Cypress for my yard. They had 6 left in…read morestock, and were getting ready for new inventory, so they gave me a discount. They came out the next day and planted them. Charged me $1,200 just for the planting. That is not what we agreed upon and they lowered it a few hundred. Still roughly $2,000 total. The Nursery Manager was extremely rude and confrontational when I suggested she put things in writing instead of installing bushes and then giving me an invoice that was way out of line from what we discussed. Of the 6 bushes, turns out only 4 were Leyland Cypress, the other two appear to be some kind of Cedar. It is April 2025 now and the two Cedars appear to be dying. In my opinion this place is highly overpriced but in that neighborhood they probably get away with it. And now I have two dying bushes to be removed and need to replace them to match. Buyer beware.

It was a joy working with Holly for my wedding floral needs. I provided her a ridiculously small…read morebudget of $500 for my bouquet, table decorations, corsages, centerpieces, and other flower needs, and she was able to meet my budget with beautiful arrangements. She was very responsive (I was planning my Memphis wedding from Chicago) and organized. I received my invoices within 48 hours over e-mail and was able to pay off my balance online. Because I had s small budget, Holly adjusted my table arrangements to simple gladiolas and greenery, and my bouquet was classic red roses and curly willow. Everything was very simple and classic and looked gorgeous. (I have seem pictures of her other arrangements, and she is also skilled at must more artistic and contemporary floral designs.) Holly was also able to accommodate an additional request of an Indian-style wedding garland. Once I communicated my flower needs, Holly sent pictures, and set up a mock display of the arrangements in her floral studio in Midtown. She charges an additional fee for setup and take down of the flowers, but it is reasonably priced and I was glad to have her in charge of setup. (In retrospect, I would have paid the additional fee to have her take down and handle the flowers instead of my family members.) Cannot say enough good things- this was probably my most positive wedding vendor experience!

I called just before noon and spoke with the owner and requested orchids and they were delivered…read moreright on time. My wife is an interior designer and worked as a florist while in school and she absolutely loved the arrangement. Told her about my wife's sense of style and she nailed it. I know where I'll be going from now on.
