This is an excellent garden center! They have a vast variety of both indoor and outdoor plants. They have a variety of mulch vases gardening supplies and tools. They have bird feeders, bird baths, shepherds hooks. They have pretty much everything you need for your home garden and indoor plants. In addition to all the items that are available the staff is knowledgeable about gardening and the plants.

Came here yesterday, got an orchid and string of pearls. The orchid is nice but one leaf had a giant split and browning in one of the leaves so I had asked for a small discount since aesthetically, it wasn't worth full price. The boys at the counter were very kind and called a lady from the greenhouse to approve it. She came up very snarky and told me there was nothing wrong with it. She did end up giving the discount but I didn't appreciate the attitude over something so small.When I got home, as I always do, I check my plants for pests. In a greenhouse, it's common to find a few bugs, no biggie but my new string of pearls was INFESTED with mealybugs, even in the root system. Not cool.

walked in for an interview and had the feeling that they thought they were better then me and were incredibly pretentious. the entire front of the store is stocked with a bunch of garbage looks like a hooky cheap garage sale of things no one would ever want. after my interview i had a look around an realized that the plants were in mediocre condition at best. what a joke, way overpriced too

Never could understand why this place gets such high ratings. Most plants and products are way overpriced, other garden centers take better care of their plants, and staff are not always the most friendly, knowledgeable or accommodating. Most of my considerable business goes elsewhere in the area.

Well worth the 20 minute drive! This place is huge! Staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. Especially helpful for someone like me who has 0 idea what they are doing!! Love that they have signs telling you how they group their plants (shade - less than 2 hours of sun, part shade, sun etc). The video only shows one section of the facility, but if you haven’t been, it’s well worth the visit. They also have a great rewards program and a warranty on plants when you purchase 1 bag of their transplant topsoil and special plant food (not expensive).

This place has amazing selection of plants. It's always a pleasing experience to go here and look through their different plants including annuals, perennials and veggies. They have a little play area for little kids. The employees are friendly. They sell gift cards if you are looking for gift options for any plant lover friends.

Oh what joy on my first visit of the season to Van Wilgens! The wonderful bright colors greet you as you enter the greenhouse: pansies, lilies, tulips, ranunculus and more! The waterfall and the coy pond provide relaxation and peace as you take it all in. There is a large room in the greenhouse that has almost any kind of house plant you could think of with another room offering many assorted plant containers. I did buy myself a special present- a Madagascar Jasmine plant whose delicate white flowers give off a wonderful scent reminding you of gardenia. If you haven’t been there, I think you would find it a wonderful feast for the eyes and soul! 51 Valley Road, North Branford.

Went in to purchase a small poinsettia plant. I paid $6 for a 3” pot. I asked for foil around the plant. I was charged $1. They cut a small piece off the sheet. A $1 for a 4 by 4 inch piece of paper is a little much. Earlier in the week, I went to Country Flower Farm in Middlefield and picked up several large poinsettias. They have beautiful plants and FREE foil to wrap the plants. It’s worth the trip.

Reasonable prices and beautiful selection. I especially love to visit at Christmastime where you will find a great selection of trees, wreaths, swags, etc. They have a nice gift shop complete with holiday ornaments, bird houses, etc. Their selection of pointsettia plants is unmatched with various colors and varieties. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place to explore and shop for plants. Indoor, outdoor, and plenty I’ve never heard of. Staff was so nice and helpful. I bought a bunch of unique, stunning grey colored terra cotta pots (called German chocolate I think) for bringing garden plants inside.

Michael in the garden center is great. He will happily help you find something specific or give you ideas. He is very knowledgeable and will ask questions to make sure what you get will work in your space. He will not try to over sell either. 100% recommend!!
