We have been fortunate to visit Timberwinds for many nursery items over the years, and they deliver every time. We have purchased: - bushes and flowers - flowers and potting soil for Mom for Mother's Day - soil and mulch for covering new grass seed - a special spray to remove some "critters," apparently called 'scale' which are some shelled animal that was coating ALL of the bark on one of our trees... apparently making some kind of sugar, which made the bark and almost all of the leaves black... which attracted bees and wasps and yellow hackets and other similarly-shaped stinging bugs, buzzing all over the place.... AND just like the Timberwinds team said... spray the tree twice and it will be cleared of the scale, and that is precisely what happened... Thank you, especially, Timberwinds, for the All Seasons Horticultural & Dormant Spray Oil that remove the scale The team is friendly and helpful, too! read more

Large nursery and large price tags. This nursery is shrub and tree heavy. They always carry good brands of flowers, herbs, shurbs, and greenery. Some of the price is justified because they have warranty protection on some. You will leave with only a few items under $50 so make sure you do your wallet research. I love shopping local but I can also watch my spending. These place benefit from year round shopping so get your shears and garden items here. The staff is elderly and take good care of the plants all around the store, but they have to look up and refer back to things a lot so again do your research. The staff is so friendly and can help you but use a cart or come with the muscle. This location is often hard to get into with the entrance being right before a busy has station and business intersection. They have limited parking, but do have plenty of accessible parking for those in need. The restroom is just wide enough for a wheelchair too. read more

This place is my favorite nursery! They have the best plants and trees! I always buy my Christmas greenery here! It stays fresh and green until I take it down in January. I have gotten greenery at other places before and would be brown and dead before Christmas. I bought a wisteria tree from here a few years ago and that thing is spectacular now! I love that thing! It has gotten so big and it's covered in gorgeous flowers! I just bought some flowers for summer and they are so healthy and blooming all the time! This place has a wonderful selection of plants, trees, shrubbery! They also have a lovely gift selection inside! I always love seeing the resident kitty who wanders around the place! The check out is fast and efficient with friendly service! There are so many nurseries out there, but this is the one I truly enjoy visiting and go back again and again! read more

A great stop for your landscape needs. I was especially impressed by the Bonsai supplies and soils as well as the specimens. I will be back!

I called looking for a specific shrub and was for starters excited they answered the phone after calling numerous nurseries and even more amazed with the knowledge they had with what I wanted. We live over an hour away and they held the shrubs till we got there and spent time educating us about the health and maintenance that is needed for the shrubs that we purchased. This year I'm happy to say they all came back and are thriving. I couldn't be happier. read more

Timberwinds Nursery - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Ellisville, Missouri

I always enjoy a walk around Timberwinds! Lovely annuals, perennials and shrubs and trees. (I've never been in the big greenhouse, but it looks like they have lots of houseplants too!) The staff is very helpful when I've been looking for something specific. I find that they have a nice selection of unique conifers and evergreens for the landscape, which I love, plus a table with a bunch of small (bonsai?) evergreens. They have a nice selection of big trees too, although those tend to be out of my budget! read more

Went to this nursery specifically because their website indicated they had a specific species of plant I was looking for "while supplies last". We roamed around while most of the employees ignored us. Finally found an elderly guy who I asked about the plant I was looking for. He didn't know but asked a young guy if they had the plant I was looking for. The young guy said 'no way' since they doesn't list their inventory online. The only reason I went to Timberwoods was specifically due to them having the plant I was looking for listed on their website and they're the closest nursery to my home. I almost walked out, but did find what I was looking for with basically little help from the staff. Bottom line, not especially helpful, a bit smart-assed as well. Next time I'll drive a bit further to Passiglia's or Frisella's. They seem to be more customer oriented. read more

MJ was absolutely fantastic! He went above and beyond the normal duties of his job to help us choose the perfect plant to send to our dear friend in mourning. 10/10 for service, knowledge & kindness especially In an era where customer service is oftentimes lost on most. Timberwinds nursery is fantastic. read more

This place is pretty fantastic when it comes to nurseries. There is an adorable gift shop in the front comparable to maybe the Botanical Gardens. There are soooooo many beautiful specimens of plants here that you really can't go wrong. This would be a good place to come for a center piece type of place or a hard to find tree or shrub. The staff here is so fantastic....I underestimated how chilly it was outside after it rained and wasn't prepared and a member of the staff got me his own jacket to wear while we shopped.....A+ We ended up buying a beautiful red bud tree and I know we paid a lot more for it than at some other places but we are very happy w/ it and I know it's very healthy. This was one of my Mother's Day presents. :) read more

Nice location and plants, but buyer beware! Had a few plants installed today including a beautiful specimen evergreen Pinus thunbergii "kotobuki" about 5 foot tall. Now in the St Louis Area, with our often clay soil, it is common practice to plant high in the ground and stake trees esp., evergreen trees, so they don't move around in their first years. As I have a degree in horticulture and landscape design, have worked in the Landscape design/build field here for 20 years at several large local companies and more years at the Missouri Botanical Garden: I know is standard practice for good contractors to stake trees, mulch and make a good sod edge around any tree they install. (for 50% of the cost of what you purchased the tree...they should.) The independent contractor or division who works with Timberwinds Nursery, did not and would not do this staking service for us without an additional fee. When I asked the owner of Timberwinds Nursery about this and said that I WOULD NOT BE A Satisfied customer, he said he did not care. So after spending $225.00 on labor, I will have to buy some wood and stake my own tree but will not work with Timberwinds again , you can be sure! Think twice about using a company with this attitude. What is becoming of our goods and service industries in the US? read more

I am a plant killer. Every single one so far. BUT there is hope! I walked in here armed with a hardy plant recommendation from a friend, philodendron. This plant requires partial light and is sometimes a few shades. A nice shopkeeper patiently waited patiently as I wrote down the instructions she gave me... when to water, when to transplant, how much to plant food to feed my new pet philodendron. There is evidence of the great care they take of their products throughout the store and hothouse. The hothouse has plants that employees are growing for experiments(as the little signs said.) They are interested in their product beyond just selling you a plant. They enjoy what they do. I was very pleased with my planter, plant, potting soil, and plant food. All within a reasonable range. TLDR: Nothing beats a business that cares about their product and love their work. I will be back. read more

Summer Winds is a very customer friendly nursery and garden shop. I have visited three times in the past few weeks and find the staff enjoyable. There are two locations, one in Ellisville on Clarkson and another in Lake St. Louis. On my first visit I was looking for a tree and the Assistant Manager helped me locate one appropriate for my yard. He even suggested in return in a few weeks when it was warmer and he might have a larger selection. That return trip happened yesterday. The Assistant Manager remembered me upon sight, knew what tree I was looking for and had a staffer assist me right away. For half the purchase price of a tree you can arrange for delivery and professional installation. The installation is not done by Summer Winds. Inside the shop has bulbs, bird feeders, outdoor decorations, etc. There is even a table for kids to color while parents shop. There are usually women working inside and they love kids. Our boys were offered lollipops on two occasions. I did do some price comparison shopping before returning for the tree and Summer Winds is competitive compared to surrounding nurseries. P.S. Its not closed. I dont know why it says it is. Probably needs to be merged with a similar listing. I have let Yelp staff know. read more

Great local business where they really know their plants (indoor and outdoor), bushes, and trees. They only sell healthy plants that will thrive in your specific location. They are extremely helpful and willing to spend lots of time talking about your location, looking at photos, and even diagnosing that leaf you brought in. We bought our redbud there and had them plant it for us this spring, and it's in great shape, even after this terribly hot, dry summer. read more

We are new to the area and on a whim I stopped here in late fall to see if there were any end of the year sales. I was ecstatic as I found raised bed kits and strawberry planters at 90% off! The staff was very helpful and friendly. I will be back in the spring for the plants to fill the beds. read more

Disappointed. Good selection, however priced at least 10%-15% higher than other nearby nurseries. I have visited twice on weeknights (approximately 1 hour before closing) hurrying to make it in time after work and both times was treated like my visiting was an inconvenience to the employees trying to prepare for closing. The only helpful staff member was M.A.--lovely women who really has a passion for plants as well as a passion for providing great service. Also, recently I was treated very rudely by the store manager, Mike, when I tried to return a shrub I had purchased only a week earlier. I feel lucky that I didn't have to deal with them on any large landscaping projects. In the future, I will most likely take all gardening and landscaping needs elsewhere. If you don't mind a drive into the CWE, Bowood Farms is hands-down the most beautiful nursery I've ever visited. Otherwise, my county go-tos will remain to be Passiglias off HWY 109 and Garden Heights Nursery off Big Bend. read more
