Luurs Garden & Flower Shoppe

This place is great. You get exactly what you pay for-​these aren’t the sub-​par plants and trees you find at Home Depot. My husband and I aren’t the most knowledgeable about flowers, trees and shrubs and the staff has always been very helpful in guiding us towards the right purchases for our needs. Just know how much sun an area gets and an idea of what you’re looking for and the staff will present all the options that will work for what you have in mind. They’ll load up your purchases and do all the heavy lifting so your experience will be a breeze. The hardest part is making decisions because they have quite the variety of flowers, shrubs and trees… and a vegetable section.

This place is great. The owners and staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helped us figure out what kind of flowering tree we wanted for our front yard remodel.

I have been shopping here since Franks closed. They have good quality plants… and are always ready to give good advise… support good nieborhood business

What I like about this garden shop is the convenience. Since I normally drive all the way out to Naperville, this shop is about ½ the distance. They have a large quantity of the usual suspects. Geraniums, pansies, impatiences, etc. My husband and I came out here on the weekend before Mother’s day to get some stuff for my garden. They had a decent selection of tomatoes, peppers and herbs. The prices were decent as well. Great place to come for some of the good old standbys. However, if you are looking for something unusual, you might not be able to get it here.

Not sure what the fuss is about — I made a special trip out there to get plants, and left without any. I was the only customer (maybe that should have been a clue?) but each person I asked for help with shade plants just pointed me to the hostas. I wandered around on my own, and did find a number of shade tolerant plants that seemed healthy enough (for July), but they did not have anything that I have not seen at other nurseries, or at Home Depot (and for a lot less $). The last straw was dealing with checking out — the cashier was obviously having a bad day. I finally left everything and simply went to another nursery. This place must have been in business so long that they don’t need new customers —

We have been purchasing plants and flowers from Luurs since 1995 and will continue forever. They sell great plants and their service is terrific too. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know the owners, Jim and Carol and we have become friends. Patrick, their son, and the entire staff are knowledgeable and friendly, too. Nothing is better than to have a gem of a garden center nearby.

A beautiful garden center. I just went today to get some Mums for the fall. Everything is still looking beautiful even at the end of the season.
On tip of the great plants, I spent quite a bit of time just looking around because they had some beautiful outdoor pieces and holiday pieces. I can’t wait to head back next spring to get some stuff for my garden.
Service today was excellent. The man working answered all my questions perfectly and was very helpful

Chocolate Mint plant??? Oh yeah, it’s an herb! I ate it!
I drive by this place AT LEAST 3 times a week and have never stopped… UNTIL TODAY! I wanted to get a Mother’s Day plant instead of the normal dying bouquet and a friend suggested I come with her to Luurs since she was going there to buy some plants for the garden.
Seriously, you pull up and it’s flowers as far as the eye can see! And you don’t have to have a green thumb to know what you’re doing. I don’t even have a garden (kill most plants anyways) and I was throwing plants in our wheel barrow left and right! Everything is so beautiful. So much in fact that we ended up there for like 2 hours and now I’m growing Basil and Yellow Tomatoes on my apartment patio!
Now, since I’m slightly an organic foodie I found myself wandering through the herbs and veggies and trying to decide what to grow. There is staff all over the place to let you know what will grow best where you’re going to plant them. Talk about organic, you can find everything you need to start a massive veggie garden — ready to go now or (if you need cheaper) in 30 – 60 days.
On the note of cheap — HOLY CHEAP. Most of the herbs and veggie plants are $ 1.99! You can always get a larger size ready to bloom but the price jumps a little — and the cheaper the better! This summer I’m growing a garden!
Need somewhere to beautiful to kill some time and get inspired — GO HERE.

This place is breathtaking. I was attempting to find potato bulbs to plant and attempting here. I pulled up in the parking lot next to it and after exiting my car I was struck still by how beautiful the place is. Rows and rows of flowers lined the parking lot leading up to the brick walk, hanging plants in vibrate purple and green gently blowing in the breeze, the sounds of a water fountain bubbling in the background along with the whispering of trees overhead. A well kept house sits atop the hill at the center of all these beautiful flowers.
The staff was very helpful and although they didn’t carry what I was looking for they referred me to a location that would. If I thought they’d let me, I’d bring a book and sit and read.
