I don’t usually rate a business 5 stars, but the owner (Mr. Spencer) was so accommodating on a warranty and the staff were extremely helpful, that it’s difficult to rate them other than 5 stars. Also, the staff are very knowledgeable about the products, definitely beats going to a big box store. The experience I get when shopping here is what makes me want to be a life-long customer!

Awesome local shop! Great selection of plants, competitive prices, and very knowledgeable staff. Bonus, they often have local pickles/preserves and fresh produce available!

Been going every spring for the last few years. Very helpful staff, good selection of niche gardening and lawn stuff you won't find at big box stores. Fruit and vegetable plant selection could be a bit better in my opinion, but it's not a huge nursery so i understand they're limited on space. All in all I love this place.

My friend and I visited here to browse their house plant selection. What I found most interesting is that they grow their own aloe vera plants and Christmas cactus plants. If you stroll around their house plant table you'll be able to see the big mama aloe plant. While their selection was a lil small all their plants are healthy. They even have a cute little koi pond with cute koi fish. A special thing I noticed was the nice aroma from the flowers after walking back into the green house.

I had looked at every home and garden center in town looking for Anaheim peppers to plant and nobody had them except for Spencers. I was elated to know that they had plenty in stock and the plants looked wonderful; along with a couple other miscellaneous items I needed. One woman who worked in the garden section helped me get everything I needed plus the gentleman at the cash register even carried my stuff to my car! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place for any of your garden essentials!!

WoW oh WoW! WoW! WoW! I discovered Spencer about 5 years ago and just absolutely loved it/them (although I only shop at Fountain, CO location). I spent every last dime I have at this place. When I ordered two plants from Monrovia and realized I can pick them up at Spencer, I jumped at the chance because I loved this place. I didnt love them so much when they charged me an extra $20+ per plant just to hold them for a few hours. I felt like I was charged twice for the plants I ordered because the plants cost only around $30+ from Monrovia (I am not telling you the exact amount because I am embarrassed to say that I didnt call Spencer to ask how much they will charge for receiving and holding the plants until I can pick them up). I received the call in the morning and picked my 2 plants up in the afternoon. As much as I want to support the local businesses, I will be shopping at Lowes and Home Depot from now on. I am not rich enough to shop locally, after all, we are just on the military pay scale.

I usually don t leave reviews. But this place was super helpful. Not great with plants, but I took a chance and bought something. Well fast forward about 5 months and my plant was dying. I took some photos and came in to ask them what I needed to fix the situation. They did not try to sell me any unnecessary fertilizers or anything. The staff member who helped me had so much knowledge about the problem and I was able to remedy the situation. Will definitely be back!

The prices are higher here but I think it shows they take better care of the plants than big box stores. The employees are passionate about what they do and will give you the info you need to succeed. They helped me to my car, helped me load the tree in and gave the nice, extra step of putting a bag around the bucket so soil didnt end up everywhere. I will be back...i wish there was more frequent tree shipments-if they are out of a certain tree, you have to wait until next year. Stock goes fast!

Ive been shopping here for the past few years, picking up flowers and plants now and then. Theyve always been friendly and have great plants. Today however they really showed how amazing their customer service is!!!! I happened to be there today when a severe thunder/hail storm hit and they encouraged me to stay safely there until the storm passed. They checked in with me to let me know how much longer the storm might go and once it slowed enough to get out of the store they walked me to my car with an umbrella, checked my car for damage, then loaded my flowers in so I didnt have to get out of the car. I cant thank them enough for not only their beautiful flowers they carry, but for what wonderful people they are!

First time, and last time customer. For what this part is worth, the employees give off a rude-vibe, from entry to exit. No welcome, no good bye. The attitude throughout is that of being put off... We received help, but only after approaching and requesting it. Only to be excused by the thin young woman after mere seconds of interaction, and never returned to us. There are other establishments that sell lawn care products, and flowers. Save your time and money on this place, check out any one of the better businesses out there.

They never really have anything. I just went in and a lady with a really bad spray tan was staring me down like I was going to steal from her very limited supply of house plants. Like no thanks.

I have really enjoyed coming here in the past. When I had my house built, part of the package was that I was able to pick out a certain amount of plants/bushes/trees here. When I arrived at the store, I was met by a really pleasant staff and was taken around by who I believe was the owner, and was taught a little bit about all of the varieties. On the day my landscaping was to be done, they showed up on time with everything. Very personable customer service. Five stars!
