Mikes Nursery Garden Center

Loved this place. I wanted in and it only took a few seconds to find Sandie. She was sweet and very helpful. I was able to get everything I needed. I will be back! Her energy was great

I’ve been in several times. A lot of selections but the problem for me, each time, is that maybe half the plants, bushes etc are not labeled as to what they are and are not marked with a price. I went in 3−16−15 and couldn’t find what I was looking for and saw many items w/​o lables/​prices yet again. I saw no available employees to ask for help and I walked by the register coming in/​out. No one there. I ended up going to the competition in Benbrook and was promptly greeted by an employee who took care of me. I’m not wasting my time anymore here.

Best place to buy Christmas trees! Beautiful full Fraser Firs from Oregon and North Carolina. They have some great 12 footers that blew me away. Bought my 9 foot tree for $ 126. It’s nicer than anything you would find at the Hardware stores. I’ve never done any other shopping here so can’t say it’s great for everything.

We have bought many things over the years from plants, pots, sod and trees at Mikes. After our experience we will never shop there again. We bought three Carolina Jasmine from Mike’s about 45 days ago. Two out of the three died we keep our receipt as we always do. We pulled it out and saw that they do not accept returns on sell or discounted items. Well this did not apply so no problem. We walked in with the plants and we told they do not accept returns read your receipt we did and said well these were not on sell or discounted. Then I believe the owner said well then read the door. So guess the policy that is handed out with ever sale is not valid. Well at this point the owner or GM whom we were speaking to bows his chest and try’s to stand tall and said that is His policy. I again said that is not what the receipt said and he say too bad still trying to act tough. I told him we have bought thousands of dollars from them and his response was «I do not care if you have bought twenty of fifty thousand dollars». Beaware and stay away not worth taking chances on your plants and trees then get treated like we did.

I like this place,

They have some nice stuff, but I will NEVER buy trees or more pricey things from them again. The Kiefer pear I purchased broke out in a horrible case of fire blight within 2 weeks of planting it. They basically said, ‘too bad for you’. I can now see where earlier fireblight was likely trimmed away so the tree would look ok. Sneaky and disappointing. They have some great staff members, but for quality trees, I will stick to Redenta’s and Calloway’s from now on.

There is quite a bit of single-​review orangehead activity here, which certainly makes me suspicious. However, I will gladly offer my $.02. I’ve been to Mike’s for a number of things over the past couple years. They take care to always have organic gardening products, but they do «sell out» and carry the high chemical products as well. They do have a business to run, after all. I think their value is pretty good, even though you might be able to find lower prices on actual plants at the big box retailers. Mike’s is worth the trip to get advice from the gardeners on staff, and they will go out of their way to make suggestions to help you. I definitely plan to return to Mike’s to start my tomato garden up in the spring, and I will likely be back before then for my fall lawn/​gardening needs. Look for an update at that time.
BTW — The parking lot gets pretty crowded on Saturdays, particularly during the spring. It seems some folks find good value here.

Their pansies put Lowe’s to SHAME. There’s so many it smells like roses in that room. I bought two flats and went back to buy a 3^rd. Yes, I do have that many flower pots and yes I will get up and water them every day. I ain’t no wussy container gardener. might i add Mike’s pansies are 86 cents each for a 4 inch pot and Lowe’s are 1.24 for sad plants.
