The center has a large stock of summer and fall plants & flowers. There also have some very knowledgable individuals, for answering questions, and identifying different species. These experts are what sets the specialty garden & greenhouse businesses apart from the others. These specialty houses are worthy of our support.
Today I visited Canton Road nursery for the first time. I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio that moved to Louisiana when I was 14 and lived there till about five years ago. In Louisiana I was an avid gardener and landscaped my yard every year. So when I went in I wasn’t sure what I was even looking for. I had many questions about trees and plants that grow in this part of the country. My daughter and I walked around and looked and they have so many beautiful things and beautiful plants I didn’t even know where to start. A very kind older gentleman approached me with his COVID-19 mascon which I thought was very thoughtful and asked if I needed help and I proceeded to ask him questions about what type of trees I could plant in this area. He said follow me and I’ll put you in touch with the man I can answer your question. He led me to his grandson a very young gentleman who I thought it couldn’t be more than 18 at the most. I was highly highly impressed at how he can answer all my questions about the type of trees I was looking for the type of plants that would attract butterflies and bees and hummingbirds even down to the questions I ask him about the roses that were dying in my yard and what I can do to help them. I know this is a link they review but I was so impressed, of how they made me Feel as a customer, answering every question and so happy to help in anyway. I didn’t purchase much but they made me feel like I bought the whole store. I will be back in the fall and thank you again to the grandfather, the Grandson💕feel as a customer, answering every question and so happy to help in anyway. I didn’t purchase much but they made me feel like I bought the whole store. I will be back in the fall and thank you again to the grandfather, the Grandson💕, and the sweet cashier that rang up my order. I will be back in the fall to buy trees from our yard and in the spring to make my yard beautiful thank you very much appreciative customer!!!
We bought some blueberry bushes and raspberry plants here in early April. They were the same price as what we had seen at the local hardware store garden centers, but much, much larger and much healthier! The gentlemen we spoke with were very knowledgeable, and the cashier was pleasant. Just one month later, we returned for some grape vines, also comparatively priced and healthy. I wouldnt go anywhere else for my garden needs.
Great garden center with very good selection & better prices on some things than what you might find at a larger garden center. People are very helpful, are able to answer all you questions & give suggestions on products. Prices are reasonable for having them dig & plant your trees & shrubs. And they give you a guarantee on their plants.
Love this place !! The family owned and operated !! Been coming here for years and always will. My whole yard, patio, and swimming pool area has been landscaped with their plants and trees. Everything form marigolds, to pricey ornamental trees and shrubs. They even ordered me a pink mimosa. THANKS !!!
We stopped here because we were having trouble finding flats of geraniums. We get them at Donzells every year, but Donzells doesnt seem to know when they are getting more than 2 colors in. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival. They have a good selection of trees, shrubs, annuals, and pereinniels. We quickly found our flats of geraniums. They had a lot of them. They were $5 more a flat than Donzells ($24.99 vs $19.99; geranium flats are always more than normal annual flats). We were okay with this because they are so difficult to find. Checkout was easy and the people were friendly. We will definitely return.
Was there today. If there is one thing I expect garden centers to do is have items labeled correctly. Found trees with incorrect tags on the ground.Fort McNair Horsechestnut tree was labeled as a Buckeye. Its not.A London Plaintree was labeled as a Sycamore. Its not.Tree quality was good, although pricey. Weve been there numerous times to look at trees, and not once has someone come out to ask us if we needed help.Please label trees correctly so customers know what theyre buying. Otherwise, its deceptive.

2021-06-28I really like their set-up. Everything was easy to get to. They are just a bit on the pricey side. I looked at a dolphin succulent that they charged $20 to purchase. Another garden cave which shall not be named sold the same thing for $10. They have a good selection of plants though.
