Had some bushes planted today in this awful heat. First I want to say we saved $45 on each bush from a landscapers quote and another nursery. Then excited to find they offer planting and delivery. A young man name Tyler planted them and did a fantastic job. He brought mulch and fertilizer as well and watered them and let us know how to proceed from there. We not only saved money but got them planted and a 2 year warranty. Give Platt Hill a try. We’re super happy. The Rogers

Beautiful plants and extras. Bird baths statue and metal art. Employee are friendly and willing to help you with everything. It's what it is expensive obviously more then home Depot down the road. But you can find that special plant. If your looking for just some regular item marigolds etc then go there. But if something unique go to platt hill.I picked up some very pretty dragon begonia little more priced but they where worth it to me.

We bought our summer annuals at Platt Hill (the former Village Green on Riverside) a few weeks ago. We were impressed by the nursery layout and selection and purchased all of our plants for the season. Within days, an entire side of a large petunia hanging basket was dying. Yes, I had read on the receipt that plants have to be returned within 7 days for a refund. I thought I could revive the basket as I thought the nursery wouldn’t believe me that the plant was dying so quickly. Bottom line, this is a new business in town and thought they’d at least exchange the basket in the spirit of good will. I was told “if we gave a new plant to everyone who brought one back, we’d be out of business”. So, this business admits they have a lot of plants customers want to return….
