Relocating my hostas and hibiscus, I also grabbed tools needed. A very special shout out to the team - Ruth and Ryan for all your time and knowledge, and James's helping hands in loading the goods into my truck! Check out all their products and landscaping services too. Go and get lost in the nursery, excellent selection and come early!

They were sold out. But I did get an interesting tree which produces an herbal tea leaves. We'll see how it turns out. Also they were serving hot dogs and soft drinks. This was a welcome treat.

Give it a try - the prices are extremely reasonable and the selection of items is great!! BTW, this place is not closed!!!! I was there on Palm Sunday.

I've made tomato sandwiches, and Caprese salad's with them to Rave Reviews. In the spring, I have found Mandevilla's that are both tall and healthy and about 10 to 20% cheaper than anywhere else. I highly recommend Vince's.

Bottom Line: A fantastic store with quality bird feeder products, lovely garden things and…read moredelightful staff. I really thought that the Wild Bird Center was a place where old people shopped so they could get some bird seed to attract company on slow days. I say that jokingly because my parents are long time customers of the Wild Bird Center and they have a plethora of bird feeders and often discuss the flock of native birds that visit them. Have you ever seen that Geico commercial where the old lady is telling her son over the phone about the squirrels in the attic while he's being chased by bad guys on a skyscraper rooftop? Yeah, its kinda like that with my parents telling me about their birds at the most importune time. Anyway, I've digressed, significantly. In search of some bird feeder related items for my parents I visited the Wild Bird Center in Park Plaza for the first time in December. I am so sorry I didn't visit sooner. This store is fantastic! As the name implies, they have plenty of quality bird feeders and a variety of bird seed that is appropriate for the local birds. I was in search of seed for my parents' Squirrel Buster bird feeder that would attract little cute birds and not make a mess. The staff was able to immediately point me to the best seed for that scenario. With my errand complete, I then enjoyed looking around the store at garden decor, hand painted ornaments, wind chimes, books, and such, I think I might even have seen some bees wax products. As far as the staff goes, they are delightful and helpful! I really enjoyed their welcoming and positive spirit and all of my interactions with them. I look forward to returning to the Wild Bird Center to do some more shopping.

We attempted to remove some ourselves but were quickly overwhelmed by the task. I researched native plant landscapers and came across Swamp Rose Co-op. After reaching out, Jeff, one of the owners, came to do a site visit. He was thorough in his presentation of plans and this February we had them come and do bamboo removal and plant some native trees and shrubs to act as a privacy screen. The Swamp Rose team was amazing! They pulled out over 2 tons of bamboo and roots! They planted native trees and shrubs which are thriving. Our backyard woodland meadow dreams are coming true. We have the team coming back in a few weeks to rip out the standard plants seen in the Silver Spring area (liriope, lilies, weeds) to replace with a native garden and we can't wait. One of my favorite aspects of this company is it is a co-op. The employees can be owners, and those who aren't are still paid a living wage as calculated by the MIT living wage calculator. They do excellent work! It is hard to find a native landscaper but this team is fantastic.
