Purchased 3 plants last month, one thrived and two did not, same variety, planted in same location. When I brought the 2 back they came up with every excuse on why they were dying instead of honoring their 1 year guarantee. Suggested I fertilize them and give them less water(we just had a week of rain so the pot I brought them back in had wet soil from the rain that just ended yesterday). None of their excuses explain why the one plant is thriving and only these two died. Based on their recent reviews it sounds like their guarantee is meaningless. I suggest buying from a more honorably nursery that doesn’t find excuses to avoid good customer service for their, formerly, regular customers.

A wonderous place if you love plants. A huge selection of plants and flowers. And a really nice variety of planters and pots too. Helpful staff as well. Love is being surrounded by plants.

The best inventory of "native plants" friendly to the environment. High quality have been buying trees, bushes, annuals, perennials, etc. for many years. Staff extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It is the only garden center we patronize because we get value and plants that thrive. With Doris' assistance we have been able to establish a butterfly and hummingbird friendly garden that has blooming beauty from March to November.

Not only the best in the East, the best I have ever used. Staff are terrific, knowledgeable and willing to spend time teaching you. Excellent selection of native plants in addition to the cultivars familiar to most gardeners.

I LOVE Gateway Garden Center! 🤗I travel from southern NJ to shop here. Gateway has a FABULOUS selection of plants, trees, water plants, birdbaths, etc. ALSO-the people who work there are extremely helpful. It’s a beautiful place🤗. I recently purchased 6 waterlilies-a few hardy, a few tropical. One hardy was a newer developed hardy waterlily that is purple. It is GORGOUS, big and prolific. GATEWAY is an excellent place to buy native plants that will draw all kinds of IMPORTANT pollinators to your garden, your world🤗🐛🐞. I LOVE shopping here. I never know what new wonders I will find@Gateway Garden Center!
