The Garden Shoppe

Ask for Sue at the garden shop. She is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Sometimes you pay a bit more for plants here than let’s say at KMart or Home Depot, but the quality can’t be beat.

Stopped in a few days before Christmas and found a few MUST HAVE doggie ornaments. I adored one wreath, but decided to wait until after Christmas for a big sale. Drove over there on Friday, but they were closed.
Drove over there on Saturday, but they were closed.
Could not locate hours on the website, other than open till 8.
Call me silly, but I would think these days would be busy ones for the shop.

This is to review Garden Shoppe’s seasonal produce. (We have yet to experience the plant nursery items.)
We’d seen this place many times when stopping at Braxton’s for pet food. Finally tried them for veggies the other day and we were really pleased.
We normally get produce from Gentile’s in Newtown Sq if/​when it’s decent quality (prices can’t be beat, but quality is sometimes lacking), or we trek to Wolff’s in Media for better quality (which you pay for there).
What made the Garden Shoppe helpful to us is its convenience to the nearby Acme and Rite Aid we use, and the quality we got for the price. Quality can sometimes be on par with Wolff’s, but with lower prices than Wolff’s. They did not have the selection of the Wolff’s or other larger produce stores, so expect what one might find at a roadside produce stand, not a full market. But for basics, they filled our need very well.
One complaint was the corn. Places like Wolff’s will normally let you husk it there, and if you get a half-​brown dud, you don’t end up paying for it. Wolff’s has a lot of pride and does not want to sell you something like that. At the Garden Shoppe there is no means of husking, and we have ended up with 40% of our ears in really bad shape (half the kernels missing, worms, rot, etc.), so if they could set up a husking station it would be a great relief.
For the other items, though, we’re glad we finally tried them, and are sorry we didn’t do it years sooner.
