I recently visited Earl May Garden Center in Iowa City and was thoroughly impressed by their Spring flower selection. The variety was simply fantastic! Each aisle was bursting with vibrant colors and healthy plants, making it a true gardener's paradise. From the moment I walked in, the beautiful arrangements of tulips, daffodils, and other spring blooms were a feast for the eyes. The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful, providing great tips on how to care for each plant. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, Earl May is the perfect place to find everything you need for your garden this spring. Highly recommend for anyone looking to brighten up their garden with some gorgeous flowers!

Clean, well stocked store with a lot of options for plants, pots, unique gifts, etc. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. The prices are extremely high, however.. at times 3-5x more than other stores for the exact same item. This keeps me from shopping there more than a few times a year but it's always fun to look around. Only giving 3 out of 5 stars because the prices are so very high, and like I said- for exact same items you can get a mile away at a fraction of the cost. I've never walked out of the store feeling like I got a good deal.

Months ago I received an Earl May gift card. A few weeks before Christmas I decided to stop in here and use the gift card on some holiday plants. Specifically, poinsettias. The two poinsettias I chose didn't have foil wrappers on them, they were just in the black grow pots. I asked the salesperson working if they had any extra foil wrappers, and he explained that their supplier didn't send them with the plants (or ran out, I can't remember which). This was kind of disappointing. I thought for sure Earl May would have a back stock of these cheap foil wrappers, but there wasn't any attempt made to go beyond the explanation I was given or even recommend what I might use in their place. I wasn't going to buy pots. I didn't press the issue because these were for myself. Had I been buying them for others as gifts, I would have put them back, or asked that a wrapper be taken off of another plant. Not sure why I didn't ask about this in the first place, other than it seemed like I would have been inconveniencing this employee. Since I had the gift card and a coupon, I went ahead and left with the ones I had chosen. Their overall selection was pretty skimpy at the time I was there. poinsettias were just on one display near the cash register area. My poinsettias are still alive, though I wouldn't say thriving. Nice, clean store. Nice items for sale. Customer services was fine, but not extraordinary. Few customers and enough employees that I expected better. For selection I recommend Iowa City Landscaping and Garden Center or make the drive to Pierson's in Cedar Rapids.

The little garden center that could. This Iowa City staple has everything you might need to get going on your green thumb, or embarking on large landscaping projects. The plants/flowers are high quality. The staff is knowledgable, will give great advice, and always offer to help you carry goodies to the car. A great selection of gift items as well!

The Staff at this Earl May is wonderful. However, the company's policy for tree replacement is not customer friendly. I purchased 2 pink dogwoods and followed all of the planting, watering, and soil treatment guidelines per the staff and plant library recommendations. First tree did not make it through the winter. The replacement did not even make it 3 months despite doing everything staff recommended. ' To my dismay, the company will not replace a tree a 2nd time, so I am out over $250.00. For that reason, in spite of the helpful staff, I am taking my business to local greenhouses (whose prices are typically much more consumer friendly).

This is the most wonderful garden store in town. Not only do they have very unique decorations, they have a massive variety of plants which are very healthy. Their staff is very friendly and very helpful, too. Always a delight to stop by, here at Earl May Garden Center ?

This was my first time here and I wish I had come long ago. The staff was absolutely delightful and so knowledgeable. The service was exceptional and this is the place anyone should visit for any of their plant needs.
