Fairview Garden Center

We stopped by here one Saturday for their annual Flora and Food Truck event this year and just let me say HOLY GOD THIS PLACE IS HUGE! I’d imagine you could find almost anything for your gardening/​landscaping that you could possibly want. It was really entertaining walking around the nursery and looking at all the different things they had. And the best part was no one was pestering you to make a purchase or constantly asking if they could help with anything. This wasn’t because there weren’t any employees around because they could be spotted every few feet tending to a variety of plants. They also made themselves readily available to help if any patron asked and they seemed very knowledgeable. The sheer size this place can be a bit overwhelming for inexperienced gardeners or first-​time visitors but like I said, lots of informative employees always willing to help. Fairview is a bit pricier however compared to chain stores like Home Depot and the likes but their plants seem to be in better condition as well. You can tell they take pride in what they do and they do it well.

You can probably find everything you need for your gardening project at Fairview. They have a huge selection of all things gardening: water fountains, fish ponds, herbs, shrubs, trees, air plants, bromeliads, hibiscus plants, hanging baskets, bulbs, bird feeders and accessories, strawberry plants and pots… you name it.
The staff is extremely helpful and informative. If you’re not a gardener, you might feel like one after browsing the store and asking a few questions.
Fairview also offers complimentary coffee so grab a cup and check out the store, greenhouses, and outdoor displays. Get ready to primp your garden!

They do carry a number of different plants that other places. The health of the plants seem to be better. Wide variety of indoor and outdoor plants. Also a great selection of garden décor, ceramic pots, potting soil. this is a complete stop for everything for the garden.
Be sure to load the app and save money every time you check in.
The attendants are nice and helpful, some know more than others but there is always a Horticulturist on site to answer the hard questions.
I have purchased plants from here for a few years now. The plants have thrived, grew and grew and grew. I hope the giants don’t come down now.

I love Fairview Garden Center. Their staff are always helpful and knowledgeable about whatever garden questions I have. I built multiple raised beds and they helped me with soil recomendations, plant selection and pest identification.
They have a huge greenhouse to find all sorts of plants to choose from.
If I need a pot, their selection is great. They even have all sorts of garden gifts for the gardener in your life.

This event was fantastic! The music was wonderful and the food and beer were excellent quality. I met the other Unilocal member and she was a nice person.
I look forward to the next event that the Fairview will hold. :)
GREAT JOB, FAIRVIEW STAFF AND VENDORS!

Very nice and organized places. The prices r high if compared to lowes or Home Depot for the plants and flowers. But their flowers r good quality I am not sure about their returns policy. The employees r nice and very friendly and helpful.

I can always count on quality and service at Fairview!
They are more than willing to answer questions and offer suggestions. Today they gave me advice on how to keep the deer from eating all my plants!

I stopped by this afternoon to pick up some mums and pumpkins for my porch. I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful staff. My daughter found the children’s play area and was occupied while I shopped for plants. I really enjoyed my experience here and will definitely come again. The prices are a bit high but I’m willing to spend more to get their expertise and friendly service.

Fairview has a good selection of perennials but surprised me that they didn’t have as much in shrubs or trees as they used to have ages ago. They are a nice place to browse around, their displays are enjoyable and help with ideas for use in the home. Their prices are good compared to my favorite spot (Garden Supply Co.), but it definitely felt like they were missing something in the selection, definitely in larger plants. The thing that struck me negatively about the visit was the lack of attention from the staff. They were all over, many many passed me while I was wandering around looking at everything and selecting some things but no one even gave me a smile, welcome or have a good day, much less a can I help you. I found that down right odd. I didn’t necessarily need help, so I didn’t ask for it, but I’m more accustomed to being greeted and appreciated in a full-​markup sort of business like this. Even checking out it was take your money and on your way. I get more than that from Lowes and Home Depot. So, if you are looking for something specific or a little variety, they are certainly worth the stop. If you want friendly and maybe someone to interject some ideas you didn’t even know you needed, this isn’t the place. There are better close by.

I love this place. If only it was closer to my home, I’d spend more time there and make all my landscaping purchases from Fairview. I went there recently in search of Lantana to plant in my back yard. Home Depot and Lowes only carried the annual Lantana and only in limited colors. Fairview had all kinds of Lantana and in numerous colors. I found the salespeople to be very friendly and extremely informative. I highly recommend Fairview to friends and family, especially for hard to find or unusual plants.

I heart Fairview Garden Center! I really dislike going to Lowe’s or Home Depot for plants… they always seem half-​dead there, and I can never get any help. At Fairview… it’s like a plant lover’s heaven! I agree with Jeff H. that they are a little pricey… but you can find some good deals and they have a HUGE selection of plants… make sure to head into the greenhouses! The staff is very knowledgable and very helpful. Who knew there were so many different kinds of mulch?!?

This is an upscale garden center and is comparable to some others I have been to. Many of the plants seemed rather stressed, but that is probably to be expected during a severe drought like we are having this year. Some of the items are rather pricey, so it pays to know your plants. There are some things that you can find at big-​box home centers, and if you can get them there, you will save a lot of money. This place does have a number of things that you won’t find there, though, or they have much larger versions of the trees and shrubs. Some things will be worth the price difference, or you won’t find cheaper elsewhere. They had an impressive selection of very nice ceramic pots. They were arranged by color, and they had a number of unusual shapes or color combinations. This was definitely worth checking out.
