Minor's Garden Center, Inc.

After multiple frustrating issues with this establishment today was the last straw and they're getting a bad review from me. I've probably bought $3000 worth of plants/trees here in the last year and they refuse to replace a $15 perennial. I bought 4 lavender plants plus an assortment of other perennials 3 weeks ago. Within a few days of bringing them home, one of the lavender plants started looking very bad. I put it in the ground with the rest of them (same spot, same care, same soil, same everything) thinking it would perk up. All the other lavender plants (and other perennials) are looking great, but this one continued to go down hill. It's completely dead now less than 3 weeks after purchasing it. Minors refuses to provide a replacement. In my opinion this was a dud plant to begin with as there's no other reason one plant would die, but the other 3 lavender plants, and all other perennials, are fine. I told the manager (Mike) I'd like an exchange and he said no, so I said fine, I'd leave a bad review. So here you go. Your bad review, MIKE. I don't care what your perennial warranty is. My receipt says you don't take returns on "sale items, clearance items, and annuals". No mention of perennials. This was a new plant, not over wintered, and I had it for less than a week before it started looking sick. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Additionally, the staff here is incredibly hit or miss. A few we're very friendly, others were incredibly rude. Don't bother trying to call in May or June. They'll ignore the phone and in the off chance they answer, they'll put you on hold and never come back. They value contractors, not retail customers. When I ordered trees they promised us a date for pick up. The trees weren't ready when we arrived (30 minute drive). We rescheduled without complaining and feeling bad because they seemed busy; however, upon our return on the second scheduled pick up date the trees STILL weren't ready. We had to waste half a day driving around until they had our order ready. My one star is for their good prices on trees.

My mother bought flowers here back in the early 1970's! Minors has evolved since then into a beautiful nursery with many more gardening options. My granddaughters loved all the flowers, decorations & water features. We found a wonderful smiley face pot to welcome visitors. This is their first time planting flowers and they loved it.
