Sensational staff and stock. As a retail customer, staff are helpful and always teaching me something I don't know. Oliver's is well laid out and user friendly.

An extraordinary nursery, and one that appears to be highly curated. The conifers and dwarf hardwoods are spectacular, and their selection of alpines is broad across the seasons. It's a 100-mi round-trip for us and it is always worth it. There is only one Oliver's in the known universe.

There's so much variety of flowers, ornamentals and trees. I bought the perfect weeping cherry tree. The staff was very friendly, and assisted me with what I was looking for

While the selection is good and prices a bit high, the female gardeners seem to know their stuff. When I cornered the owner to do a large landscaping project and I mean a large project, to my face I got oh yes oh yes. I followed up for months and months and was ignored by Jed. Totally ignored. I went in numerous times and he avoided even responding to garden assistant. Rude behavior in a business that must rely on clients. I understand a company being busy but common courtesy should be a given. How about saying we are too busy not just ignore someone hoping they will ignore your arrogance and just wait til you are free. This poor client management style seems to trickle down to staff- except a few female gardeners. There are other garden centers who are friendly and willing to be kind and helpful. I will never engage them for a project- NEVER

I used them because I went to the nursery and it was so beautiful the trees that they have are so unique! Made me want to just have a space like there’s. They came and helped me design my yard. I am so in love with my garden now Jed helped me so much he’s a true artist. I have tried to use other companies in the neighborhood and no one has given me the ideas that he has. I will use them always and will recommend them to my neighborsServices: Gardening services

The staff at Oliver are very knowledgeable, from design work of our yard to finding the right mix of flowers, scrubs and trees. We are only starting our redesign but are thankful we found Jed and his team.Services: Yard designs

Problem with buying a tree at Oliver’s is that they don’t warrantee the tree if they don’t plant them. The company I do work for is out almost $2,000 for a specimen that didn’t take. Oliver’s doesn’t want to hear it. It’s a shame because we spent thousands previously, and were poised to buy thousands of dollars more on an ongoing basis. No denying the stock is great - but the prices are also high and on top of that, you are running a big risk even knowing how to plant properly. Trees fail for a variety of reasons…. It’s a bigger gamble buying at Oliver’s. Van Wilgen’s guarantees their products for 1year. Two years if you use their premium planting mix and root booster.

This is my Disney World. Oliver Nurseries has been doing work on our (and our predecessors’) property for almost 40 years. Wonderful, knowledgeable staff, and the most beautiful shrubs and trees. I’ve spent all of my disposable income here!Services: Walkway landscaping

Oliver Nurseries has been operating for 5 decades on a hill in Westport. While many nurseries have opened as more land was developed, Oliver remains unique in several ways and for that reason worth a visit. The nursery itself proves to be an inspiration as to what thoughtful landscaping can produce in Connecticut. Grass and stone paths across the nursery not only lead to to different types of plants that are prepared for sale -- trees, perennials, flowering shrubs -- but also long-established specimen trees and an ever-changing parade of perennials in bloom. In this way a visit to Oliver is a visit to a botanical garden AND a visit to a nursery. Oliver also offers design services to support your envisioned garden. The nursery employees are friendly, patient, and helpful... their enthusiasm for the nursery's splendid displays is apparent.

The worker Melanie was of horrible customer service! When I tried speaking to her about something she responded as like she did not want to be there! Very unprofessional and management should do something about her! I was I pleased and will no longer be shopping there!

Very good customer service -- they went above and beyond in resolving a problem that they did not really have to help me with.

Beautiful nursery with an interesting selection of well-grown plants. There are several extremely knowledgeable staff members who are very helpful. Not the cheapest nursery, but high quality with a great variety.
