Randy’s Perennials & Water Gardens

Awesome experience! I had been to Randy’s long time ago for a pond in previous house and i remember i had a good experience so of course i sought them out again for the new house.
Pond in current house was green (ick) and the first guy i spoke with immediately got me to a pond expert ok… lol. And he was indeed an expert. Thankfully everything he suggested i had already purchased except for a uv filter which is way over my budget. When i’m ready to purchase or use someone else’s wallet (hint the DH), ill be returning. I learned so much from Mr. Pond Expert. Much knowledge much wow!
Then i needed some a plant for my sunroom. I have never owned a plant or flower and i’m not the outdoorsy or umm whatever kind but before i knew it, i walked out of there with a cart of 2 beautiful plants. This was 2 weeks ago and they’re still alive!!!
I was even able to revive the peace lily which they were rehabbing because they got 2 much sun so i got a good deal for it. Now the leaves are green. We looked up the house on google maps and used the compass to see the location of the sunroom and figured out where the sun sets etc. I have never received such amazing service. I even signed up for their email list and i don’t do email lists!!!

Today was a fun day in the yard for us. We love to support and shop local so we headed to our friend David who owns and runs Randy’s. From the minute you walk into the the place, there is so many plants you want to get on your cart. A variety of everything that most chain and big stores do not carry. We walked around looking at all the wonderful things Randy’s Perennials & Water Gardens has. Because there is such a variety of plants we probably got more than we intentionally went in to buy. But no worries there because the prices were very reasonable. The staff was pleasant and so helpful and knowledgeable on everything. Because Lawrenceville is a small town of friendly, loving people everyone remembers others when they return to the store. Today was no different once they recognized their regulars. There is something wonderful when a business owner makes the client feel special. They do this at Randy’s. This nursery is clean and very well organized. We will be back.

This is the only place in the northern burbs you can find pond supplies. If you are a water gardener, you must go to Randys.

New owner David was very helpful. Nice and friendly staff. Selection is always great.

Lovely. Absolutely lovely.
I am no gardener. But I had to purchase some sort of color for my home, and I was looking for some annuals.
Randy’s is a beautifully arranged nursery with many types of perennials, annuals, and other trees and plants that would eventually look lovely in my backyard. Their water garden is charming, as well as their arid plants and cacti section.
I found what I was looking for, some tender lavendar that still has a bright color to it. After about a month and a half it has lost much of its fragrance but this is possibly due to its placement, which is in too sunny of a location.
I plan to return to stock up on air plants and small cacti for a terrarium.
This place is great. Lawrenceville is lucky to have it.

My husband and I kill plants, so we’ve never been interested in going to a nursery. Eventually our place needed some sprucing up, so we went to Randy’s, and I’m so glad we did! All the staff there were extremely knowledgable about their areas (ponds, outdoor plants, planters, etc.) and more, and they helped us design what we wanted in terms of style, ease of care, and price. They also invited us to look around at all they had to offer even though we clearly we’re not going to buy anything else, and they educated us — and the bus full of kids who happened to be there for a field trip that day — about everything they had there. Plus they were super nice. I highly recommend!

Rude… Assumptionous … Referred me to a large chain. I try to only support local business when I can. Large business don’t need your help to run you out of town, you are doing it for them.

Highly upset. I only came back up here to complain. Honestly not how I wanna spend my weekend. Purchased a tree yesterday, put it in one corner didnt like it there. So decided to move it to another corner. When I did so I noticed my white wall GREEN. Looked closely at the tree and it was painted. Infact the tree was completely yellow underneath the green paint. Went out to look at my truck and that green stuff was all over my truck. The paint washed right off the truck but the wall just smeared. So I talk to the guy running the place. All he could say is sorry I sprayed it right before I sold it to. All it is, is a retention so the pines dont fall… so I asked why is it a retention if it just so happen to be forrest green and the pines happen to be yellow… never again
