Nurseries & Gardening near Inwood, NY

“They sell more than pretty flowers!! If you're serious about a garden, plant trees, or even need propane for your grill...stop in!
I have been a customer at The Garden Gallery for 4 years now...so, technically, this review is a little late - but worth the wait.
The Garden Gallery is a second generation family business. The family AND their employees know the area, the soil, the plants and what works where. Everyone is friendly and helpful.
Four years ago, when I was new to the area, they pointed out which trees would survive the silly, sandy soil of my property and were upfront about which would likely not survive. As a result, in spite of me not being a good tree mom, I have thriving trees.
This year, I finally filled in my raised garden bed. ? it was a labor of love and twenty trips to The Garden Gallery. The last few trips included a walk of garden shame and joint laughing at the never ending soil purchases. BUT it is worth it. They only sell high quality products. Landscapers arrive at opening to get truck loads of soil and plants for their clients.
In addition to the pretty flowers that most posts and reviews include, they have vegetable plants, shrubs, trees, all the soil and fertilizer you can imagine...even water fountains! ...oh, and don't forget the propane for your grill.
I cannot stress enough how friendly and helpful everyone is. Absolutely worth stopping in.”

“Went here with my friend for a day out. We had so much fun building our terrariums!! We completely lost track of time because next thing we know, it's past closing time haha. But Rachel was so nice about it! She was extremely helpful during the ENTIRE process and helped us complete our terrariums even after closing. We didn't feel rushed at all.

Truly one of the best experiences I've had, doing anything ever. It brought me so much joy. Will definitely be coming back!”

“I ordered a bouquet of Flowers on Friday 08/15/25 for my daughters engagement and Blossom Heath in Oceanside did a Beautiful job. I received a Magnificent Bouquet of Flowers that was perfect. THANK YOU!”

“I've ordered flowers from Wick's a number of times over these past few years, but I was speechless from the bouquet they've recently arranged for me as a gift to my mother! It is BEAUTIFUL! Pictures do not do it justice at all! My mother was in awe! Thank you!”

“Beautiful flowers and compassionate service. Steve went out of his way to make my father-in-law’s services extra-special with personal touches. He anticipated what was needed to make things meaningful and fitting for our beloved father. Anyone can deliver flowers, but it takes someone special to deliver the comfort and warmth that Steve did. Thank you!”

“I have used Flowers by Peter multiple times and they are fantastic! They’re excellent at communicating if they don’t have something and their delivery is prompt and on time. I much rather use a local company than a 1-800 company. Shopping at the local businesses is much better. Much better customer service and value for the dollar, as opposed to a customer service representative in the Philippines with the large factory companies.
Thank you guys so much for what you do and I will continue to use you. I am a loyal and dedicated customer!”

“I visited this nursery for the first time today after it was recommended to me by Google during my search for unusual-colored anthuriums. According to their website, they had the pink, purple, and orange varieties I was looking for - so I decided to check it out. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. The nursery is well-maintained and neatly organized. They carry a wide range of plants and everything a gardening enthusiast might need: tools, pots, seeds, wind chimes, potting soil, fertilizers, and more. The plant displays are arranged inside and outside, as well as at the back of the nursery, making the space visually inviting even from a distance. One feature I particularly appreciated was their floral gift section. They offer flower wrapping services and can add plush toys, balloons, and ribbons to turn your purchase into a beautifully packaged gift. This is a great option for anyone looking to pick up a thoughtful, ready-to-give present. That said, there were a few drawbacks. I noticed that some plants were overpriced, and a few were of lesser quality compared to similar ones I’ve seen elsewhere. Some plants lacked price tags, which made browsing a bit inconvenient. Also, the floor was quite wet during my visit, and two staff members were pushing water across the floor - almost in my direction - which wasn’t ideal.
Parking was another issue. I had to drive a bit further to find a spot. Still, the staff was generally helpful. One associate named Nick stood out - he not only gave me a discount on one of the plants but also took the time to chat about anthuriums and even recommended another nursery that might carry the specific colors I was after.
In conclusion, despite a few minor inconveniences, I had a positive experience and would recommend this nursery to fellow plant lovers and gardening enthusiasts. It’s worth a visit for their variety and helpful staff.”

“I love this plant shop. So many great pots, plants, and other gifts for any occasion. The service is so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I love that potting service is included when you buy a new planter.”

“Zaino's is part of our family holiday tradition. For the last 7 years, my wife and I have bought our Christmas tree at Zaino's. The trees are healthy and beautiful. The gentlemen who put them atop the vehicle are all gentlemen. They are respectful and informative on making your tree survive the holiday season.Also, the owners are very cordial and welcoming. This year (not sure about other years) there was a Santa Claus visiting. He was friendly and engaging with our daughter.See you guys in the summer!”

“My 1st time using Hillside Floral Design!
I must say I was truly impressed and very satisfied with my order. And most definitely will be using them in the future!!
They were birthday flowers for my sister and she was very happy and thought the flower arrangement was beautiful..
Thanks again Hillside Floral!!”

“Home Depot is the place to buy all your needs in your home, for the kitchen, rooms , bathrooms, doors, etc great place to do shopping for your office, schools, church etc for construction and repairs”

“Can I give 10 stars?
We started with two different gardens. One garden was too small and raised with a retaining wall and the other was just for roses. It wasn't clean and cohesive and I called Giordanos. I've had bad luck with getting folks to help us with our home so I was kinda nervous but soon my concerns were put to rest.

Nick worked on my garden and wow!!! He's professional, helpful, friendly and really knowledgeable. He could name the plants I already had even if they didn't have flowers yet. He helped me create a design and gave me great ideas. Whenever I had a question he got back to me by the end of the day.
When he came he brought 3 workers who were really friendly and professional. They put together a gorgeous garden full of perennials and reallydid a great job!!!

I can't recommend enough!!”

“It was horrible experience, I called before I drove to Oceanside & asked about a certain plant .I didn’t want a flat of 50 & I was told they had flats of 25 or 36 great & when I arrived they only had flats of 50 for $49.99. I tried to find someone to talk to, finally a women came out & told me that she was the one who I spoke with & that I misunderstood, I told her no I’m very clear. I asked for the name of her supervisor & she told me look it up on the website. & then I ‘m going to escort you out. I found someone else who thought he was going to intimidate me. I left in desperation & will never go back. My advise go to HICKS in Westbury, this would never have happened.”

“I cannot say enough about this place!!! The selection is amazing and Peter and Quinn are extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all things plants and landscaping, indoors and out! The property continues to receive upgrades and there is a fire pit and water feature area where you can just sit and relax in a natural environment. If you haven’t been here yet, you MUST come and check it out!!!”

“They had a beautiful setup for Santa inside with a beautiful gazebo. Best thing no line! No appointment and its free! Perfect took my 12 day old newborn here in hopes to avoid mall crowds and it was perfect! Santa thoroughly enjoyed her as well looking forward to coming back as well!”

“I gave it 5 stars because my Dad loves it here. He loves his garden but as for customer service, it’s like you are in a different world and not in a mix queens neighborhood.
Not friendly to non whites. That’s all I will say about that. They will answer your question but it is always with a “oh them” glance.
Come on guys….your business is in queens NY. Not sure if the people working there are the owners but it sure looks family owned.
My Dad don’t shop anymore…I do it for him and I am not as tolerant with the stare as he was so I go to else where.”

“Great place to get some flowers , plants, and garden accessories. They are also very helpful and the lady was so nice to offer to order a garden fence If I needed more of it.”

“I have been going to this garden center for a while now. Great service . The Prices not the greatest but then again everything is pricey these days.I also got my propane fill here.The gentleman and his parents All work together . Very customer oriented.”

“The manager Eric at the Elmont location is the reason we go to this location. His care for his customers is genuine. Eric went way out of his way to help my husband and myself, on an issue I had with a return. Shout out to Eric for your exceptional service. Your a good man.”

“Vendor Micky D helped me decide which Milwaukee saw-zall to purchase while I was in home depot. (Hes not employed by them). A nice guy who sure knows his tools. I just thought.....its nice to give him some credit. thank you.”

“This Home Depot is amazing, remolded a bathroom and I have to say the staff was amazing. Chad and Monique are the best. They helped us out on everything. Was in and out of the store for 2 weeks. They were kind and so patient with us. Their knowledge of the products and store is incredible. I also want to acknowledge Nigel for helping us load the car multiple times. These employees are exceptional and are an asset to this store. Thank you so much for making this stressful time a lot easier.”

“This is the Walmart I most frequent even though the closer ones to me aren't as appealing. It's a super Walmart. It's always stocked. Think it's the only one on that side of the city so it's always busy”

“Contrary to many opinions here, I've sincerely never had a problem with this location. I am in the middle of a renovation and frequently come here with my general contractor. We're usually prepared with measurements, narrow down our shopping list by looking online at what's in stock, and don't hold up the clerk by asking many questions. The types of services that I use are: 1. installation services (allow yourself some time), 2. general store purchase, 3. store purchase with assistance getting heavy things down from shelves or other types of assistance, 4. home delivery and online purchases, 5. Pro Services (with my contractor). Go in, pick up what you need, pay, then leave. Just like any other store.”

“Regarding the wide variety of tools, accessories and availability, they are very complete.
But... some of their advisors or customer support staff are not prepared to provide care in a kind and complete manner, which discourages and alienates.”
