Patuxent Nursery

What a great experience. Incredibly friendly, helpful staff at a beautiful location. Will definitely be going back.

As part of my job working in the Summer at the Equestrian Center a few miles down 301 I routinely have to come and get some plant arrangements for some of the jumps there, nothing to flashy but sturdy enough for a horse to hit and pretty enough to make the jumps scenic and presentable!
The staff there is always very helpful and willing to loan is a few arrangements for the show and they always make sure we get the best!
They have a big facility to fit almost any landscaping need for your house or business! Get your gardening on!

Everything you could need for your garden needs, whether you are a novice like me or more experienced. The prices are more than fair, especially given the quality, and all of the staff (with the exception of one rude cashier when I was making a return) goes out of their way to help you find what you need at the price you want it. I got hanging plants, a potted plant for my doorstep, and several flowers for planting in my window boxes. My house is now officially ready for summer thanks to Patuxent. Really doesn’t get much better than this nursery.

A little on the expensive side… but you get what you pay for. Quality.
The staff are very knowlegable, and if they aren’t sure of something, they will find out for you. The displays are very nicely done, it’s clean, and the selection is great!

I drove by this nursery for 3 years now and just now decided to have a look. What you see from the road is NOTHING like the sheer beauty you will find once you get on the grounds. I felt like I was walking in the botanical gardens! Impressive displays, tons of choices, beautiful inside store… just wonderful. I happened to stumble in on a 50% off sale of a number of gardening items that are big ticket, so although I didn’t intend to purchase anything, I walked out with a van full. The people are extremely helpful and I got mini-​lessons on picking the proper shrubs for my yard, how to replant them, and what to do with them in the winter. For a gardening newbie, it was just wonderful to learn so much in such a short time. I will NEVER go back to Lowes or Home Depot again for anything gardening related. This is my only place to be and I can’t wait to see the Christmas displays. They told me to come back for Fall and Christmas to see how they have decorated everything. I can’t wait!
It is also very pet-​friendly. My small dog and I were greeted warmly and no one had any problems with him enjoying the grounds as well.

Stopped by after visiting Home Depot for some hanging plants, a perennial and indoor plant. The selection was vast and prices very comparable to Home Depot. I won’t be going back to Home Depot for my plants/​flowers anymore. Great nursery and friendly staff.

Mr. Stelfox,
I’m a long time resident of Bowie and have shopped your store many times. That’s why I was taken aback by the rude response I received from a lady at the counter on Sunday who said she was the store manager.
I approached her because I wanted to ask if you do landscape design because I wanted to put several trees and shrubs in before it gets too warm.
The manager was so focused on telling me she wasn’t a cashier that she interrupted me before I could speak. I was shocked at her behavior and rudeness I’ll take my business elsewhere .
Thanks but no thanks.

Very nicely organized place with lots of selections. It is really big and the staff is friendly.

My daughter and I went here last night to get a Christmas tree and the experience was wonderful. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They will trim down any excess branches off the tree you want removed before loading it onto your vehicle.
Be sure to bring a blanket with you to protect your vehicle from getting scratched.
One thing I really like is that they freshly cut the trunk of the tree so that it will efficiently take in water to extend the life of the tree.

WOW! I never knew how really BIG this place is. That’s because I have only been here during the late fall and Christmas season.
They have a variety of plants and house and garden stuff. It’s a beautiful nursery and there is a lot here. I love how they have the displays of patio furniture, fountains etc. so you can dream about putting together your own backyard oasis. My husband liked their tiki bar so now he wants one on our back patio. They certainly have designed this place so you can dream and plan to work at putting together your own beautiful landscaped property.

This is one of my favorite places to go for Gardening and lawn supplies, plants, shrubs and trees!
This is a whole sale garden club. But you DO NOT need to pay any fees to be a member. I have no idea how it works but it does. all you have to do is fill out a form and they will give you a card. You don’t even need it to check out because they will look you up with your phone number.
Their selection is extensive! Beware, what they have online is not always what they have in stock. You are much better off calling ahead of time before you drive all the way over there.
The layout of the nursery is impressive! The landscaping that have done to their property is reflective of the quality and service that they provide. Every shrub and plant that I have bought there has been healthy and well taken care of. When you first get there, one of the attendants will approach you and offer their assistance. Take them up on it, the property is large and you will be wandering around all day looking for the plant or shrub. They know exactly where everything is.
I am serious about the quality of their plants! If you go to Home Depot or Walmart where very few of their employees are professional growers and landscapers, you’ll have to look hard for a healthy plant. At Patuzant Nursery, you’ll have your pick of the healthy plants.
If you are a coupon clipper like myself, you’ll love this place even more! They send out coupons and they have NO EXPIRATION date!!!
LOVE IT!

I have had good experiences at Patuxent when I visit to purchase plants, mulch, etc.
I recommend caution when contracting with Patuxent to perform landscaping. I paid a lot of money to have some work done and am very disappointed by the results. I contracted with Patuxent in the fall of 2008 and Patuxent did not finish the work. I stopped by and called several times and was always treated politely but there was never any follow through. I finally paid someone else to finish the job.
