I love Van Wingerden, not just for their beautiful, healthy plants, but also for their little gift…read moresection. It is not huge, but somehow I almost always find the perfect thing, whether it is a hostess gift, a small thoughtful present, or just something I decide I need for myself. Their gift selection feels really unique and not like the usual stuff you see everywhere else. They also have really nice greeting cards at super reasonable prices, usually about half of what you would pay at the pharmacy, and they feel so much more personal than those generic cards. It is one of those places that just feels special when you walk in, and I pretty much always leave with something I love.

I called around with heirloom seeds in my hand trying to pay someone to start my seeds for me…read morebecause my greenhouse had blown over. Tom, at Vanwingerden, agreed to take my seeds and germinate them. He sent me pictures of the plants germinated in April and told me I could pick them up in "a month or so". Some didn't come up and I told him not to worry about those ones. The deal was I would buy the starts back. I called before mother's day to pick up the starts with no response. I called after mother's day only to discover Tom gave away ALL the plants to one of his employees. Not only did he give this employee the plants, he gave her ALL my seeds as well and then tells me he doesn't want to bug her to ask for anything back because of a loss in her family. Why would I bring seeds in and give them to their office if I didn't want the plants? Why would he get my hopes up by sending me a picture of the plants? What would ever make him think it was ok to give away my heirloom seeds? I blindly trusted and shouldn't have. The whole thing makes no sense at all and I feel totally robbed.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much selection this nursery has! They have a wonderful and…read morehelpful staff! Their plants are quite healthy so worth every penny spent.

Kent's: it was nice and a beautiful thing while it lasted but I'm so sorry to say, we are done. You…read moreused to be our one and only and for very good reason! Your plants were healthy and you had the best selection, great prices too and excellent customer service! We saw the annual end of season 30% off signs around town and we were wanting a couple of dwarf evergreens ... so that brought us in. Apparently the sale had ended, store still open but full price. We noticed since the store changed owners, prices have moved upwards. Honestly the selection is still great and the plants we bought today were healthy (outside of being very parched and we did get a bonus, free weed ) but the pricing here has gotten out of hand. But Kent's you are no longer the only show in town. There are many great nurseries in these parts. $52 for a dwarf evergreen x 2 = outrageous!!! The clerk was nice enough but just said "you should have seen the signs! They said sale ending.." and maybe they did? In fine print. I guess we are just one customer of so many, maybe the others don't mind paying exorbitant prices. I don't know what the future holds, but so long for now!
