Achin’ Back Garden Center

Awesome garden center.
The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.
They have a huge selection of items and are very organized. While I was there I signed up for their reward card and the email list. I’m very interested to see what kind of classes they offer.
I’m definitely going to keep them in mind for my future needs floral and garden needs.

This place continues to be fantastic. My mother-​in-​law lives in the area, so we order all her flowers through them. Every time I call the customer service is superb — they really go out of their way to help. The quality of their product is fantastic, and consistent. We will be ordering from them for years to come.

Beautiful selections and some unusual cultivars of great shrubs. Gift shop is adorable

Stopped by today. Staff were extremely personable. Some really nice and different finds. Slightly price but their stuff is pretty nice. Can’t wait for their tomatoes to be in stock.

I had Kelly do my wedding about a month ago and she did an outstanding job! Her prices were considerably lower than the other quote we got, which was even better. Kelly was professional and helpful and does beautiful work.
My bouquets were probably my favorite thing of the day! She saw my vision and made it happen. The centerpieces were also awesome! They were not exactly as I imagined, but beautiful and worked great. She also supplied the cake flower and a hair flower, both great.

The employees here are very nice and would answer all your plant/​landscaping questions. They are also have classes during certain days of the month for DIYs.

Achin Back is awesome. Beginner classes on gardening (veggie and lawn) as well as an educated staff who go out of their way to help you. They also carry organic gardening supplies.
I drive from Reading to Achin Back a couple of times a month for classes, supplies and advice. Happy to support a local business with a strong customer service ethic. If they don’t have what you want, they’ll get it or help you source it locally too.

Very nice, knowledgeable people here to help with your gardening questions. Good selection of products for organic gardeners, and they offer classes for beginners.

I have never bought anything from here other than from their florist section, so this review is only for that part of the business (although I noticed they did have a great selection of garden items). I was looking for somewhere to get Mother’s day flowers for my Mom (from my Dad because he was out of town, but that’s not important I suppose). I had never been here before but decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did!
I wasn’t really sure what I wanted, and I was a little alarmed at first when they said they didn’t have a book with floral arrangements to choose from, but now I’m glad that they didn’t because I got to pick out the perfect bouquet for my Mom. I told the woman working there the flowers that I liked, the color vase that I wanted, and my $ 100 price limit, but I left most of my instructions pretty vague and up to the florist to decide. I wandered through the store’s flower selection outside because I decided to wait there to pick up my flowers since Mother’s Day was only 2 days away. Within a few minutes I was told my flowers were ready, and I was given the most beautiful arrangement I’ve ever seen! All of the flowers were incredibly healthy and with the store’s free savings card (which gives you 5% off every purchase) the total came out to only $ 75 for flowers my parents thought I spent well over $ 100 for. If you’re looking for a florist, definitely go to Achin’ Back Garden Center; I’ll never go back to a different florist again!
I posted a picture of the flowers I got from Achin’ Back Garden Center (I believe it’s photo 48), and it doesn’t even do them justice!
Pros– Extremely helpful staff; great value; beautiful, healthy flowers; convenient location; great selection; and quick service. (I really can’t say enough good things about this place)
Cons– None!

A nice local nursery in the area with a nice selection of plants, flowers, and trees. They also have a nice gift shop inside with some cute and unique gifts for your home and garden. We had a few questions about some of the plants we were looking at and the staff was helpful. Pricing was a bit higher than big box retailers, but reasonable for a local nursery. This was our first time buying plants here, so we’ll see how they do over the season. We had a couple of coupons and they were nice enough to split our transaction up so that we could take advantage of both coupons in one visit. We also wound up with a free bag of potting soil, which someone kindly brought out to our car for us. He then even offered us some plastic to put down first so that our car wouldn’t get all dirty! All in all, great customer service and we really liked the variety of the selections here. You can definitely find some things that you just won’t find at those big box retailers. I’m sure we’ll be back next season!

Love this place! Best customer service anywhere. Classes on various gardening and flower arranging topics are always amazing!

although gardening season may be gone, do yourself a favor and keep this place in mind, come spring-​time.
achin’ back offers a nice variety of native plants, unique/​pretty specimens and a good selection of the odds and ends that a good gardener needs in their arsenal.
prices seem reasonable, and the customer service was attentive.
glad to have achin’ back garden center so close by.

This is a great garden center. They are so knowledgable and helpful. I’m very impressed with their customer service and their selection of offerings.
We bought our Christmas Tree from them last year. It was our first live tree in probably close to ten years. They made it so easy and were so helpful getting it loaded onto our car.
They also have a great selection of gardening supplies.

Typically, I’ll try to find my gardening & yard-​care needs locally (within 5 miles of my home). Unfortunately, this always means trips to several locations so that I can find all my particular needs, specifically organic (non-​synthetic) items and other hard-​to-​find products. Luckily, I can always find what I need at Achin’ Back. The staff is actually eager to help, will offer suggestions for your particular growing needs, and even help you load everything into your vehicle. I’m now a life-​long Achin’ Back customer!
