Great place to go if you dont have much of a green thumb. Staff there are knowledgeable of the plants and what type of sun and soil will keep them alive. Theyre also always really chipper and friendly as well. They have more than plants though. Patio furniture, pots, statuary, tools and plant foods and pesticide are all readily available. A little something for everyone. Minus 1 star for horrible concrete walks and parking lots. Can be tough to push a cart and more than a few tripping hazards.

Ryan was AMAZING. He worked with me for over 30 minutes, past closing, and had answers to all my questions and more. He had ideas for all of my inquiries and knows his stuff backwards, forwards, and inside out.I’m coming back tomorrow to purchase a massive quantity of plants and mulch for my client SPECIFICALLY because of Ryan!

Went to Earl May today to pick up some Liquid Fence concentration. I was appalled when I took it to the register and it rang up for $61.99 (40 oz container, before tax). I immediately asked to make sure that price was right and it was. I got online and found it (32 oz) at Lowe’s and Amazon for $34.98. That’s about 1.09 per ounce, whereas Earl May was selling it for 1.54 per ounce. I just can’t see paying $27.01 for 8 more ounces. It just doesn’t add up.Time to get more competitive Earl May if you want to stay in business, you’re too expensive.I’ve even switched to buying my annual flowers from local hardware stores or Walmart due to the exuberant prices at Earl May.

Good place to go for plants. I have found staff to be friendly and informed. I bought my tomato plants @ Earl May this spring and had good results.They have more than just plants as they sell a lot of garden accessories and a few gift items.Pricing can be a little stiff but when on sale it is bargain time.Good quality, helpful staff and competitive pricing for the specialty items they sell.

Sweet mother of god. It’s a good thing I haven’t been here before or I would be more broke than I already am. Absolutely stunning garden store. They had a great variety of indoor plants and most of them in multiple sizes so you could choose to go all out and get the 5 foot tall fiddle leaf fig for $$$$ or get the little pot for $ and grow it yourself. Also the planters were super reasonably priced. That’s not to say they were cheap because they weren’t but as someone who has 40+ potted plants around my house these were solid, beautiful, and very fair for the quality.A+ for selection and quality, F+ because they pulled a target on me and I spent $100+

Beautiful place I must say and very well kept plants. Id say it would serve well for traditional gardening needs and then some. Staff is very friendly and willing to assist when called upon.

Went in March 9th, 2021. Outside is still bleak but inside they’re prepped for spring. Great selection of products a to get your yard and garden ready fro spring. Used to work there and the employees there are ready with information and suggestions to help you out whether it’s houseplants, garden, yard, or landscaping.

Like this Earl May site and received excellent help. Has been helpful in the past as well.Reason for low rating? Would have given a rating of 5, but no employee who helped us during purchase and checkout was wearing a mask. Asked one employee a question and he walked up to us within 3 to answer with no mask.Will not return to this store for this reason until a vaccine is available. I ask management to mandate masks at your facilities. 08-28-20.

Yes, I recently tried to purchase a Christmas tree from a local tree farm however they were sold out. They redirected me to Earl May and I was very disappointed to see that your selection of trees were not only sub par to those at the farm but easily TWICE the price if not more. Ended up buying a decent tree from Menards for exactly the same price as what the local tree farm was charging.

Of course a Garden Center looks gorgeous this time of year with all the beautiful fresh stock of flowers and vegetables on display and they were wonderful smiling faces of very helpful people working at the store . I found something that I had trouble finding at any other places Garden Center businesses within our city so I was very pleased with my trip to Earl May today and my new honeydew melon plants are already happily in my garden

I was a happy first time customer this July of 2018. I was greeted with a friendly young man who offered to help me find the exact rose bush. He went out of his way to be of service. I bought 2 rose bushes and was very excited to see that a week after I planted as suggested, a rose bloomed. The bush is a picture of health. The other rose bush I gave to our pastor who lost his mother, he was very pleased to receive such a healthy beautiful rose bush. Earl May is the place to buy rose bushes!! 👏👌

Too expensive for this late in the season. Was there about a week ago. Didnt buy anything. Wanted to replace a few plants that fizzled out but wasnt worth paying somuch for each plant. Should have been half price.

Only safety precautions they had was plexiglass for cashiers. No social distancing by staff or customers.Nice store but I was very uncomfortable. My husband and I had masks, but few customers or staff did.
