Terrible experience here. My husband just wanted to look at plants, I chased our 6 and 3 year old around the store and stopped them from touching things and giggling and running and was doing my best to get them to behave, but was getting constant dirty looks from one of the cashiers, a grey haired elderly woman who was sweeping up. As we were leaving I said “we didn’t really appreciate all the dirty looks we were getting, bye.” And this cashier followed us out to berate us and tell us “if you had better control over your children[she wouldn’t be giving us dirty looks]” I said “ ma’am both my kids have ADHD I was trying my best what do you want me to do? Never take them in public?” And she continued to berate us as we were walking to the parking lot, she literally didn’t need to do any of that, she could have just taken the feedback and not said anything as we were already out the door as I was saying it, but no, she felt the need to give her judgment at what terrible parents we apparently are. If she has adult children I’d definitely understand why they no longer speak to her, but I’m sure it’s more likely with how bitter and unhappy she is that she doesn’t have a family at all. DO NOT COME HERE WITH KIDS! These people clearly only want adult customers as all kids can’t be perfectly behaved all the time and that’s what the staff members who work here expect. I’d give zero stars if I could and return what we did purchase from them because clearly the owners have no problem employing bitter and rude employees who are fine at looking at their customers like they’re worse than the dirt stuck to the bottom of their shoes. Please don’t give them your business, especially if you have kids.

This greenhouse is consistently well stocked, has huge selection and competitive prices. The quality of plants is worth paying a little more than the box stores. As expected, supplies dwindle by early June but you can still find most plants you may want.

This place used to be fantastic when I was younger, but this time they didn’t have a great selection, prices were high, and the worst part was the woman that “helped” us acted like she hated her job. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to plants, so I asked questions, but she was super snappy when I asked anything, and walked so fast while pointing out options that I didn’t even catch half of what she said, then she just walked away. Horrible customer service overall. I will be shopping at Canoyer Garden Center from now on.
