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!
Family business since 1930s!! Great Customer Service. I get my propane for my RV. Go check them out today. Their prices are competitive and they will ensure you get exactly what you need.
Lovely place! And very friendly workers
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.
Very helpful place! They very patiently walked me through seeding my lawn and I have successfully gone from a dirt pit to a lush lawn!
Love this place! I go here for all of my plant needs and questions. Super helpful and friendly staff!
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.
All the people are helpful very knowledgeable about what you need to make your plants grow
Great help finding what I needed.
Always a very friendly staff and beautiful flowers.
Excellent service!
Great and friendly staff. Helped me understand what I needed to start growing roses. Definitely reccomend them.
Prices a little higher but great people and very knowledgeable about the plants in this area
Always a pleasure to visit the folks at Spencers. Well stocked store with knowledgeable and friendly staff.
Always like seeing you greatest friends when you shop! So helpful in every season and with every purchase. Thank you for being a stellar local business!
The Spencer nursery is amazing. I could spend a full day just admiring ,all the stuff they have. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable.
Best grass seeds in town!
The gentleman who assisted me was very helpful and answered my questions.
This is simply the best place in Fountain or southern Colorado Springs for landscaping. They sold me a great rose bush that is thriving and they helped bring my lawn to life. Listen to them and you can t go wrong!
Nice selection
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!!
Super friendly service. Great products. Will be my go to from now on.
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.
Needed advice on how to mend a broken tree. The staff spent the time necessary to explain the process and options. The lesson was not rushed and was greatly appreciated.
Great store! They always have something awesome to buy. Check the hours though as they close a little early compared to most businesses in fountain. We got our orange tree and fertilizers here but they have a lot of plants I still want to go back and get
Anyone that loves getting your hands in the dirt and sprucing up your yard, this is the best place to shop! They have everything! Wonderful people that are so knowledgeable and dont mind lots of questions!
Very nice place
Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and family owned. A personal favorite of mine. Love the seed selection.
Went to refill propane tank, paid about $5 more than I usually pay at another place
Nice folks.
This place has a great selection. The owners are very knowledgeable. Affordable
Great people and great service.
Nicest people in Town. Long history of serving El Paso County. Highly recommend!
Everyone very friendly and helpful. Had just what we needed.
I bought some expensive roses last year with warranty they told me if it dye I can bring it back so one of them dyed and the other one is good I pulled it out of my garden and took it back and it was exactly the same month I bought them last year so they didn t take it back and told me I should have brought it on October I said nothing was back to life on that time so how would I know on October if it s dead or coming back to life I had to wait as everyone know how these things work here in Colorado anyway I was not able to replace it or get my money back I thought to share my experience here with you all thanks
Fast friendly service
5 Star..... always enjoy my experiences here! the staff, owners are amazing and are so helpful. this is the place to come for all your gardening needs!!!
Very great service! All employees were very helpful and resourceful when it came to the amounts that would be needed, as well as great direction, in application, and In giving many helpful tips. They even went as fas as helping load the compost and soul bags into the truck! I give them an A++!
If you need any lawn an gardening stuff....or looking for some new plants or flowers....this is the spot!! ALWAYS very friendly an helpful staff!!! Thank you Spencers family....my lawn has never looked this good!!!
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!
Pretty great place to go to for more of your common garden supplies as well yard supplies and the fresh local veggies etc. The staff has always been nice to me when I came in and they do refill propane tanks here by the way.
Great folks and fantastic customer service
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!
Always high quality plants, fertilizer, and yard art. Very knowledgeable staff, ive been a customer for over 20 yrs
Good selections
I found what I needed and the questions were answered. Can only say good customer service and the place rocks
Pretty good selection! Super cute lawn/garden statues/yard art. Plants are priced well, but some planters were higher priced than I was willing to pay.
Very helpful, knowledgeable, and gave great advice in where to place the plants. Ive always gone to big stores likes lowes & Walmart. Way better quality plant here.
Would not honor their tree warranty. Told when I was considering purchasing from them I would have a year warranty. When the tree died, I was told they only warranted the tree for 4 months.
Best little place is South Springs to get flowers, bushes, and trees.
Love going to Spencers always friendly and very helpful
Staff is super friendly and willing to go the extra mile
Great place very knowledgeable, wonderful people.
I just started going to Spencers. I am SO glad I did, I have had a couple of complicated issues with my lawn/plants. They have helped me identify the issues and solutions, are reasonably priced, and every lerson in their Nursery is incredibly knowledgeable, VERY helpful, and very, very nice. As I stated, I am so glad I finally went and will continue to go because of all of the positive reasons I wrote above!!! Definiteley give them a try!!
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!
They always have what I need and the employees are very helpful
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.
The staff is terrific and went above and beyond. Thank you. We were stuck in the parking lot near closing with a dead battery. Two staff members gave a jump and we were on our way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Great shop too.
Friendly & helpful. Associate saw that my hands were full & brought a cardboard carrier to.
My family has been going here for years for propane and gardening needs. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Theyre also personable and remember their frequent customers. The place is kept clean and always looks great. The cat is also super cute (if you can find her)!
Friendliness an Knowledgeable!!
Its so refreshing to walk into a retail place and have someone there who is really kind and helpful. I always find just what I need at Spencers and it is a pleasure shopping there.
This is a great Garden Center. I always go there to pick up propane they refill the tanks save a lot of money doing it that way they have lots of nice plants to choose from and they even have garden vegetables that you could buy in the summer
It was a fun little garden expo. The panels were useful (Colorado trees & bushes and straw bale gardening). There was a small fowl contest with chickens, ducks, geese, & a turkey.
Well be back soon. The place is very friendly and welcoming, also well-stocked for this early in the Spring. We loved the koi pond and will be back soon once the summer planting plans are firmed up. They were full of useful information and I never felt shy about asking questions.
A great local nursery great people
Good friendly folks always ready to help
Just such helpful and friendly staff that understands the challenges of growing anything in this zone.
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great products
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. Whenever they do have stuff.. it s extremely overpriced. There are better green houses in the springs you should support, with much, much friendlier staff!
Anxious for the spring bedding plants.
Friendly staff. Good prices and close to home. Thats 5 stars in my book
Awesome shop with a good selection of trees and plants. The staff are amazingly helpful, I was picking up a large covered bench and a couple guys loaded right into my truck, no hesitation to help at all. I recommend them to everyone I know, and all of them have had similarly great service. Thanks guys!
Im pretty helpless when it comes to lawn care and every employee here has been very nice and helpful. I also bought some delicious tomatoes and jellies here.
Love this place and the small-town friendliness.
Very nice employees. Very helpful. And the owner of the store (mike) has very sexy legs!!
Staff Was extremely nice, they helped me to find what I needed, took me up to the registered we paid for it ,I will b back linda
I found great and beautiful plants for my planter on the front porch. Different than anywhere else Ive seen.
Always helpful. My favorite store for plants and good advice.
Helpful and knowledgeable. Has a wide variety of trees and plants. Will pay more than you would at HD or Lowes.
Always amazing help from the Owners or staff. They are always extremely helpful with any questions...plants,vegetables, fruit trees , lawn and even my aquatic plant needs. My top choice place to shop for all my garden needs.
Friendly staff, a huge variety of plants and trees.
My place of choice for gardening supplies for 20 plus years.
Super helpful, now have a plan to get me started on restoring the front lawn.
The best garden center and customer service in COS !!
Very helpful, and had the product I needed.
Super people ,very helpful and very educated in every way.beautiful plants and trees and so much more to see in this nursery 5 stars
Amazing Lawn and Garden, Ive been a customer for 13 yrs, they have everything and know how to fix your garden and lawn problems
This is the greenhouse youre looking for.
They are very helpful.
Wonderful place, great associates. Always enjoy shopping there
Very helpful with choosing the right plants. And even brought everything to my car when I had my hands full with the kids.
Very friendly and helpful!
This is a great place to get information on plants as well as great plants for your house and yard.
Great customer service!
Employees are very friendly, courteous,and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Spencers to family and friends
The best lawn and garden place in Colorado Springs! Great selection of items, excellent customer service, very helpful on the phone and in person. I highly recommend them!
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!
So proud of my family! My great Uncle Noble started selling Christmas trees in 1934 and it blossomed into Spencers Lawn and Garden Center. Still family owned and operated to this day!
Staff needs to only ask once if the customer needs help not every minute following the customer everywhere I got money and work hard for it,Oh and by the way they are a big rip off their rockwool cubes cost $17 and at grow warehouse they cost $12 not cool Spencers.You lost a local customer.
Always helpful staff.
