Best Public Nurseries In Saint Louis Near Me

Todd Tiefenauer: Wonderful nursery! Great selection!

Geraldine Lee: First time going to Fendler Nursery & Garden omg was beautiful flowers healthy and the worker was very nice I come back here

LingZi Pan: The people are great, the outside plants look really nice, but everything is pretty overpriced and a lot of the plants inside look half-dead or burnt or just not good.

Ben G: Big selection of ornamentals. The pricing is fair. Many plants seemed underwatered or just dead. We felt invisible to the staff. Didn't find anything for a vegetable garden beyond a handful of tomato and peppers.

Dan C: Great selection and very helpful staff.

Those Dewald Guys REALTORS®: Great, knowledgable staff. Awesome flower selection and decent prices!

Kristen Wolfin: The live flowers were beautiful and they had a lot to select from HOWEVER they are in a very heavily cemetery populated area and it almost feels like they take advantage of that situation. I stopped to get a few things for my father and uncles stone there and was SHOCKED by the price of their artificial arrangement. For a SMALL bouquet you can get at Walmart for 5-10 your paying almost 20 bucks . If you want the stand , it's 25 total . There is a dollar tree down the street you can buy artificial arrangements, windmills , flags , hummingbird feeders , etc. For 1.25 each, Which worked perfectly for me since the cemetery does arranged clean ups and everything eventually gets thrown away.

Lee Gomes: I moved to the area recently and had to leave all my plants behind. I happened to drive by Fendler's and everything was so pretty and colorful, I pulled right in. I was immediately greeted in the parking lot by a gentleman asking if I desired any help...which I did! I explained that I have a notorious black thumb and I was expertly guided to easy care/hard to kill plants. One of the things I purchased was a plant box that I wasn't sure would fit in my planter. I was assured that return or exchange would be no problem which turned out to be absolutely true because box was too large and I returned a few days later to return it and found the nursery looking almost completely different in a new riot of color and an impressive selection of herbs. So instead of a return, I exchanged the plant box for a beautiful (hard to kill) hanging flower basket. Another thing I found special about Fendler's was an impressive selection of succulent plants as well as large selection of unique decorative planters. Everyone at Fendler's was extremely friendly and helpful and it's really a pleasant experience to shop there.Update 4/14/23 Not much has changed at Fendler's! I stopped in today and it was again a spring riot of color! They were quite busy at 3:30 in the afternoon, yet I was greeted and helped immediately. I had stopped in a couple of weeks ago looking for a particular plant, and there weren't any available but when I stopped in today they had exactly what I was looking for! It's not a huge nursery but somehow they have a huge selection. It is always a pleasure to shop at Fendler's!

Ty Igert: Had an amazing time her early this spring. Went for a cactus, left with a lot more! Like our variegated dogwood and GIANT elephant ear bulbs. Every single person stopped to talk to us to offer help and joke around a bit. Can't wait to go back!

Mary Bosch: Awesome selection and great service! I drive from Waterloo, IL every year to spruce up our yard!

Dave Bohnert: A lot of selection. Knowledgeable staff to assist or even suggest substitutes. Parking is a little tight.

Linda Wessels: Four or five days before the holiday, we found the most beautiful Christmas tree at Fendlars. The staff was extremely helpful and trimmed the trunk exactly as I asked, and it fit perfectly in the stand. The tree was beautiful! Thank you for making our holiday so special. I will most definitely return as some serious landscaping needs to happen in the back yard. See you n March!

James Kohler: Great people are at this place. Got a last minute Christmas tree. Prices just marked down today! Also a fantastic selection of other plants, tropical, ferns. Oh, also got a Fox Tail fern that I've been looking for everywhere!

Rebecca Cave: Friendly staff! Always willing to answer questions!

Adam Ebling: Very helpful staff, great selection, and great prices. Everyone was so friendly and eager to help. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Cynthia Emberton: This is the very best place to buy any plants, trees, bulbs. We love it, never lost a single thing we bought there. See Scott, very knowledgeable.

Matt Higgins: We went to this place to buy some fresh flowers for our mothers grave. We walked inside and out, and the place seemed deserted. Thank goodness we are honest. Never did see anyone, so we went to another nursery.

Pamela Schneider: I have been going to Fendlers since I bought my house in Lemay in 93. I have since moved over to Concord Village but still go to Fendlers. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. The plants are top notch.

Elisa T: So many beautiful plants to choose from! Scott was great help and so knowledgeable, thank you!! - Lisa

Dorene Elliott: I love this place for all my plant needs

Scott Corrigan: Amazing. Will definitely be missed

Onerene Todd: Unfortunately I was there for their going out of business sales not much left however still great customer service.

Betty Andrews: I was at Bayer's with a friend, just for fun, because I no longer have a garden. It was a precious experience that brought back lots of happy memories. When my friend told me Bayer's was closing at the end of the month, I felt crushed ...couldn't imagine St. Louis without Bayer's...such a loss. It was crowded, and some of the people I greeted were sad, too. Such a wonderful, simple-yet-extraordinary resource for those of us who enjoy the beauty of a garden and of house plants. And everything they sold was of the highest quality, so we could trust that it would thrive and shower us with beauty. I am so grateful to have had this last opportunity to bask in such divine goodness, and I wish every blessing to those who made it possible for so long.

Floyd Harrison: Sad they are closing after all these years.

Dawn Trumble: Sad it's closing.

Jim Hunter: Experience was amazing and help was exceptional

Fredonia “Doni” Taylor: This store will close it's doors at the end of the month sa to see them go

Lumina Solaris: Healthy plants at a fantastic price. I will certainly be back in the future. The man who rung me up was also super amiable.Edit: 7 mo later, my plants are still very healthy! I highly recommend for both pricing and for general knowledge when I asked questions concerning my plants, even ones that I did not buy from here.

Randall and robin Jennings: Sad to see this place go.We made it a tradition to go there every Christmas for our tree.We had gone to several other places and found they had the best value when it came to Christmas trees so we stopped wasting time to go elsewhere and would go straight there.

Harmony Delong: Reasonable prices. Good selection.

CryStyles By Stylz Wilson: They stay busy. Have all your gardening needs.

Nina MacDonald: I always thought their plants were a little bit pricey but compared to the big bargain places the plants are far superior and grow very well so it is worth it

Suzanne Chisum: Such wonderful selection. Staff was very helpful and willing to assist in love adding the plants. Wonderful place for gardeners and landscapers in South St. Louis.

razorramone63139: I've been a patron at Bayer's for years now. I always love their variety in flowers.

Kevin Hacker (Khacker): I had a great experience at Bayer's. The young lady that helped me. I am sorry I did not get her name. I came in to get a bag of mulch to add to a bed where we just planted a pygmy butterfly bush. She brought 1 bag but it was pretty gross (her words) she was wiping it down. I said "I don't know about that one". She said "I'll move a few things around and get a better one". I yelled bring me 2. I will run in to pay for the second one while you're doing that. She was great she brought me 2 really nice clean bags. Great service. Thanks Bayer's. Going the extra mile.

Matthew Pellegrini: They have really great topsoil for a really great price

Too Tired (Too Tired): Great plants, prices a little high but the customer service is always excellent.

Maria Vera: Great selection great prices!

Major G: Love this place. Found everything I needed to start the garden.

Linda Wieland: Great

Barb Schlitt: Just drove 20 miles to shop on a Saturday your website said it was open. NOTPlease correct so no one else wastes their time.

dennis kane: Very easy to shop. Lots of good looking trees at good prices. Shop local!

Theresa Gallaway: Go back every year for our Christmas tree. Fast and easy. Always have Richard help us find the perfect tree!

Kayleen Prins: An absolute wonderland for the houseplant lover, as well as a St Louis must-do: I always bring my out of town guests here. Staff are kind and helpful and always willing to answer my questions.

Em Carey: Second time there and I absolutely adore the selection on plants they have!

Mer: The best plant store I’ve ever been to. I love their bouquets and the house plants I’ve bought here have always been in fantastic condition. During the winter they have these great kits for making your own wreath and throughout the year they sell fun wreaths of dried flowers and eco friendly materials.

Hannah Elaine: Super cute shop. Great selection of plants.

Tiffany Kasmarcik: This place was mind blowing!! They had plants that we had seen at the Botanical Gardens that I would never have dreamed of owning. The staff was so helpful with tips, how tos, and advice. We spent so much time here just standing in awe and looking at every little thing. A definite must if you love plants and want something unique.

Kim Hayes: We heart Flowers & Weeds. It is a little oasis in the city helping with our "plantparenthood" from the garden to the living room. And it is dog friendly. Can't beat that! Thank you for what you do.

Nicole Mills: Purchased an orange tree a couple years ago, still going strong - still blooms 4x a year!

mutiger2001: Was this there to pick up several house plants, staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

Sarah Kohler: I just love opening my door to these! My husband has a monthly flower subscription with Flower & Weeds and each month I am completely blown away with their arrangements. I love how the flowers used match the seasons.In addition to their flower delivery, I have gotten a few house plants and pots from their store. It’s fun to stop in and see what they have. They always have new inventory and the staff is super helpful.

Adie Bennett: I'm not a plant person, I tend to kill them. :/ After keeping a succulent alive for 2 years I decided to try another plant.The staff at Flowers and Weeds was super friendly and helpful for even the most beginner gardener.

Alli H: This place is awesome, always changing, and the employees are so nice.

Kelly: Hands down most breath taking plant store in stl. Super reasonable prices for super healthy plants. Their selection is mind blowing!!!! Cashiers are super sweet too

Jesse Daul: Just a great place to get plants or flowers for any occasion. This place got me laid with my gf numerous times. But between us I think I like this place more than her

Graeme Harcourt: Charming and from what I know fairly priced. Disappointed however in the post purchase . No miracle grow. No card. Nothing in the way of service common at any nyc corner mart. And so they tipped over in the car . And had nothing to preserve then and I had to interrupt the day to go home. Love the interior, ut as I say highly manual

Brooke Smith: We used Flowers & Weeds for our wedding on 9/5/2021 at Lost Hill Lake Events. They did such a wonderful job! They listened to our ideas about colors/feel we were going for, and everything came together beautifully. They delivered the bouquets to us and set up everything at the venue. The flowers added so much to the day. We're really happy we chose Flowers & Weeds!!

Sam Fink: Adorable and unassuming plant shop! I stumbled in here recently and was in awe of the plant selection as well as all the pots, accessories, and decor offered. Not to mention the outdoor garden area! If I could, I would buy nearly everything in this shop. Staff was friendly and helpful too!

Sara Ficenec: I used flowers & weeds for my wedding flowers and they were absoluting amazing. They were fresh and vibrant. I could not have asked for better.

Robert Pot-Roast Piezuch: Love this place ❤❤

Elizabeth Johnson: I used Flowers & Weeds for our wedding day flowers and I was blown away by how beautiful they were. I loved how easy the process was and how much was left up to the florists that I trusted, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. I was able to send them a few inspiration photos and some information about what the wedding party would look like and the result was just gorgeous. Big big fan of Flowers & Weeds and would 100% recommend for your wedding day!(Please tag Ashley Pieper Photography if these photos are used)

Carmelita Volkerding: Not a great experience the last few times I’ve been in the shop. But I received a very pricey arrangement today as a gift and it is….not good. Keep in mind that I had Flowers and Weeds do my floral arrangements for my wedding years ago, so I was very excited for an arrangement. I guess, because I had an amazing experience with the arrangements prior, I had a different expectation on the quality I would be getting. But they look very disorganized and half the arrangement has bare spots. For the price the quality is not matched at all.

Brendan Knapp: Huge place, great selection, friendly workers.

Aaron Luebke: Stopped by Rolling Ridge on my lunch break today with the intention of picking up some native seeds to attract pollinators, as well as take some photos (hope that’s okay!)The staff were so friendly and very helpful with finding me some flowers I can plant to attract butterflies, bees, humming birds and more! Can’t wait to get the seeds I bought in the ground, and I’d love to come back and take more photos. This little shop has all kinds of plants, flowers, potting, tools and anything else you could need for your garden whether it’s indoors or outdoors! If you’ve been searching for a nursery to stop by, this is your sign!

Steven Baldwin: Great selection and a helpful staff!

Gavin Perry: Staff is always helpful.

Emily Harkins: Thank you, Rolling Ridge Nursery, for a great experience! I called several places in the area to help me create a thoughtful arrangement for some friends of mine after a death in the family. I wanted to give them something other than a regular vase of flowers that would be in the trash in a few days (and to complicate matters, I live in Florida). I spoke with Lynn, and she was wonderful from the start. She let me know a truck of fresh plants was arriving the next day, and she'd wait to make the arrangement until the best ones arrived. She texted me planter options from her personal phone after normal business hours to make sure we found something appropriate. Lynn also hand-wrote the card for me, then offered to deliver the completed work to my friends' home in Kirkwood on her way home that evening. The arrangement was a beautiful and unique expression of sympathy. I really appreciate Lynn and staff going above and beyond to help me comfort my dear friends.

Roy Sher: great nursery with friendly and helpful staff. they have a good selection of fruit trees and normal trees and the employees are helpful in answering questions and remembering you from trip to trip. they carry lot of different soils and fertilizer as well and can do tree installation as well

Julia Greco: It's hard to find places that are both this charming and also so well-stocked. Customer service is top notch but laid-back. Warm greetings, a little joking around, and they take you to what you're looking for instead of the point and send away. Even in mid-March there's a terrific selection of cool weather veggies and annuals to choose from. Houseplants are displayed by category, including a very helpful selection that will tolerate low light. Lots of different containers to choose from simple terra cotta to glazed ceramics. Botanical Interests seeds, Spamona products, moss polls, etc.

Jessica Bensky: Buyer Beware:We purchased a fresh cut Christmas tree Saturday . We were assured the tree would last through Christmas and it was given a fresh cut. We immediately drove home to an awaiting stand and gave it water. Approximately, 48hrs later it has not drank any water at all and has no scent. We called and the first person we spoke to tried to convince us that it was normal for a tree not to drink a lot of water. The second person informed us the trees were old and that is why they are on sale. "Unfortunately, we can't offer you a refund because all sales are final..."

DONNA WICHMANN: Very friendly staff nice place will be back

Alia Grigsby: Got two plants from this nursery. After isolating them away from my other plants, i noticed one of the plants got mealybugs on them. I immediately called and asked to return plant and get refund or give store credit, but got response that they only have 24hr return policy that they told me nothing about when i checked out. Its very convenient because in 24 hr you likely won”t see infestation. Manager refused give refund or store credit for infested plant. Not very happy how you treat you customers. I end up throwing plant away what a waste! I am not coming back and suggest you not go there unless you want some bugs in your plant that will spread like fire all over your other plants and kill them!

Kevin Hacker (Khacker): Went looking for some dwarf boxwood for a planting project. RRN had these Korean dwarf boxwood that were bigger and fit into the plan. Chris the owner and plant specialist was very helpful answering all my questions. I would have given a 5 but the price was a little more. But the plants are strong and healthy, a trade off.( Update) 10/7/22- Went to RR to get some seed and organic matter for our repair of the tree lawn and overseeding the front lawn after core aerating. Chris , the owner and a trained horticulturalist helped me with getting the right seed and mix of organic matter for our little projects. Thanks Chris. Giving it 5 stars for taking the time to work with me.

Robert Wagnon: Rolling Ridge is a high quality nursery that is in the center of the Webster Groves community. We are lucky to have such inventive options so close to home. Lowe's might be cheaper but they don't have the selection or heart of this neighborhood gem. I am glad to support a local company that enhances our city.

Kayla: Great selection of plants. They now use predatory mites too which I love!

Mlee: Webs and bugs visible on indoor plants make it very difficult to want to buy plants here. I took a chance on a plant and ended up with spider mites.

taylor estell: Great place. Thank you for accommodating a last minute birthday delivery.

Teresa S: I'm moving from the city after nearly 5 years of visiting this place often, so I guess it's time to finally drop a review.I'm what you would probably call a crazy plant person. I've got something like 90 plants currently (which will barely fit in my car, I should add), and that's not counting anything outdoors or that's germinating. Probably half of those plants are either from here directly or from cuttings from here.I've had a few incidents with mealybugs, but the plants are hardy enough to take the treatment and isolation. Always make sure you quarantine new plants.The prices aren't the lowest in the area, but they're competitive for the quality. I've also found more rare and newly trending plants here than anywhere else, including plenty I've never heard of, or seen in person.The atmosphere is super pleasant and I've always had my questions answered well. I've taken a few of the classes they offer and they're all great.Definitely recommend visiting, and if you get stuff often, they have a yearly membership that pays for itself with the first few trips. LolI'm going to miss this place a lot. Definitely the best plant store in STL.

Fredonia “Doni” Taylor: I am a hoya head and was excited to find some here as well as alocasia stingray staff is very helpful and knowledgeable try it you will like this nursery

Coral Reyes: I loved this plant nursery. They have an amazing variety of indoor and outdoor plants, trees. The entire staff was friendly, asking if we were finding what we needed and of course as a rookie plant mom I have millions questions since I would love to be successful in caring for them so it was great that there was so much staff that was willing to help. I highly recommend them. Very amazing and friendly staff. I got all the things I needed to repot my Monstera. I will be back !

Mary Lebo: All the people working there were very helpful and friendly.

Danae Taylor: First time visiting and I love it. Nice variety also

Denise Edgar: I love this place. Great selection. Prices are great. Family run. The staff is very knowledgeable. The tomatoes in the summer are fantastic. Denise

M Ivey: Don (all of them) of Hartke Nursery was very helpful. My sister and I had so many questions regarding landscape, gardening and other options for our yard. He is so patient and knowledgeable in answering all our queries /options. They were very upfront regarding the cost of materials and labor (no guessing game!), which was fair and reasonable. I highly recommend this place for your gardening and landscaping needs

Amy Costello: A tree I purchased died in under 30 days and the owner was insanely rude and wouldn’t do anything about it.

Conrad Auffenberg: Lady at the cash register has always been short the 5 years we have used this nursery. She was flat out rude and treated me like I had no clue what I was doing this week. It unfortunate she helps every customer cash out because the rest of the staff is very friendly, hardworking, and helpful while she sits behind her register being rude to customers spending $$ at the nursery. Never had a harder time trying to spend my money somewhere.

Judy Hetzler: Love Hartke Nursery hopefully they will have a Persian Shield plant for me today!

Ann Mills: It was nice, huge too. Hard to walk on rough areas. Having arthritis in feet and knees is rough. Very friendly people. It is worth checking out. Lots of choices.

Erica Conto: Love their hartle blend potting soil. They are so nice there.

Steven Mings: Lots of plants and trees. Annuals and perennials. Very friendly staff, although we weren't looking to buy just yet they offered to hold on some plants as they're new, until they were ready. highly recommend.

Danie C.: I’m sure there’s great plants but, after all these reviews and the phone call I just had, how is that older woman still working there? Completely condescending and rude. All I did was ask questions. She kept trying to hang up on me. It’s clear she doesn’t want to work here.

Lauren: They cut through our irrigation line, said they would pay for the repair, provided an email to send the bill, and when we did so, Cindy, the owner, called me sounding angry saying they won't pay for it, and they never said they would pay for it. I had sprinkler heads marked and talked to the planter about this particular area before digging. I did that on my own without Hartke asking me to do so since it is what I have done multiple times before for many other plantings, stump grindings, etc. We have never had an issue. She said I should have had every underground irrigation line marked which our irrigation company said is not done and not really possible. They also had a hiccup with asking Digrite to mark the wrong side of the yard saying they are not familiar with the online forms since the person who used to do that portion no longer works there. They offered to plant without Digrite marking utilities, but I declined. The repair cost of the irrigation line is quite small compared to the amount we paid for plants/planting. It is how I was spoken to that I give this low rating and suggest looking elsewhere for planting.

Jyoti Behura: We felt completely unwelcome. The old lady behind the counter made a frowning face as I approached her to ask a couple of questions and made it clear that we were not desired customers. I can't think of anything that provoked such a reaction except that the color of our skin was different from hers. I am glad my toddlers weren't there to see this.

Carolyn Haus: That is my local garden center. They now have plants discounted because end of season. People are wonderful.

Krista Hogan: They had everything I was looking for and the staff was very helpful!

Matt Caito: Knowledgeable and always friendly

Carrie R: Great selection. Always good healthy plants!

Karen Williams: Knowledgeable in friendly staff, very helpful.

shawn E.: Everyone at the nursery was incredibly nice and helpful. We stopped mid-afternoon on Saturday to choose a Christmas tree. They were a little busy, but we selected a tree, which they quickly bundled up, cut the bottom and affixed the stand. They tied it to the top of our SUV and it was very secure. During that time, they loaded up some firewood for us and we scored a plant inside while paying for everything. AND free mulled cider and cookies. The whole thing took less than 20 minutes and I couldn't have been happier with the service and product.

Vanessa Teran: Wonderful experience here getting a Christmas tree - staff were so kind and helped us get the tree in our car. Looking forward to coming back and checking out their plant selection in the spring. I feel like we found a hidden gem in Saint Louis County!

Seth Hargis: They have great Christmas trees and the people who work there are always helpful.

Maureen Moore: Great place with helpful staff.

Connie Hurst-Bayless: Master Gardener, Teresa, showed us shrubs and trees that we could plant under a black walnut tree. We are happy with our selection and appreciated her help! We will be back.Sincerely, Connie & Ben

Megan Noel: Great customer service!

Dale Penrose: Wife and I loved this nursery.

Gustav Benson: Amazing place! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!

H Wood: I took advantage of Sugar Creek’s home landscape design service… and was VERY impressed! One of their designer’s named Nancy came to my house and spent an hour with me looking all over my garden beds. She was so nice and had a flood of good ideas! She took copious notes, pictures and measurements. She asked me my favorite colors and plants. She wanted my input! I got a full email detailing all my plants, how many plants to buy, designs and ideas. It was brilliant. And I feel like it was a STEAL at $100… most places I checked start at $250.

Beverlee Maschek: I was there to pick up the money and left over tickets from Pond-o-rama for the St.Louis Water Garden Society. This center has all kinds of plants and garden things and they are having a sale right now on a lot of things.

Tammy: I went looking for 2 plants. My experience was ok. I asked the cashier not to box my plants as I have a bad back and can't lift much. I was told this is the way she does it, its easiest for her and boxed everything in 1 box instead of 2. Alot more work for me loading and unloading. I got my plants I wanted and a couple extras. 💲💲💲

karen dowd: Great plant selection and well informed helpful staff

M: Healthy, cared for plants. Wide variety. But omg.. the prices are high!!!!! Check out Theis Farms instead

Mark Alan Harris: Very helpful staff. They seemingly have any plant you could want

Kathy Schrenk: Huge spring selection and lots of helpful staff

Christine Allhoff: We love this gem! Had the pleasure of being helped by Hannah, who was so enthusiastic and honest with us about what would work in our space. Now we can’t wait to see our garden grow.

Meghan Brauch: All of the employees are so friendly and helpful here. My partner and I have been several times for various plant needs and we always have a great experience. Abby helped us out today and talked us through some plant purchasing decisions. Highly recommend this place! Support local!

Julia Hoffmann: Amazing selection and very friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Rebekah Hager: Best. Nursery. Ever. Hannah is fabulous!

Zach Wood: The best plants. The best people. Seriously. I’m always delighted by some new plant, pot, etc. Sugar Creek has in stock. Cheerful, knowledgeable employees will help you in a laidback environment. Not to be biased, but ask for Hannah!

Stuart Keating: Preparing for a new garden this spring and Hannah from Sugar Creek has been a HUGE help! Her enthusiasm and knowledge have helped us plan and we are looking forward to seeing what our yard looks like as the weather warms up

Rita Wood: I have always had a great experience at Sugar Creek Gardens. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have an amazing variety of plants to choose from.

Shea Ridenour: Hannah is a genius who found me the perfect plant. She also found the perfect pot for it and wrapped it up so carefully. So professional, so funny, so smart. Thanks Hannah!

Katie Nauman: We had the wonderful opportunity to work with Nancy Scheidt. From the beginning to the end Nancy was easy to work with, knowledgeable, and adaptable to our ever-changing schedule. The plants from Sugar Creek are beautiful! We couldn’t be happier with the results and are already planning on using her for our next project! You won’t be disappointed if you hire her too! Before and after photos below (we also painted the house)!
