I just left there. Four people “working”. One woman disappeared when I drove up. The other woman was helping another customer. Inside, the young man working was taking out garbage and studiously avoided eye contact so he didn’t have to help me. After wandering around outside looking for a specific plant I had the name and description of from your website, finally a man near the back of the plant area with a broom yelled out to ask if I needed help. I walked all the way over to him since he was shouting distance away, he said you “probably” had the plant, and it would be near the front of the store. I am not a plant expert. I looked again, “near the front of the store,” then gave up. Obviously you don’t have any interest in selling me several expensive plants to border my patio. For many years I have had good experiences at this location. Better than other Earl May locations. Now I will not be returning.

Helpful staff. Good selection. Nice layout of store. Prices are a steep as expected for smaller nursery center.

We went to Earl May Garen Center to find some bark for repotting my orchid. We did manage to get some at a reasonable price. I was pleasantly surprised by all the beautiful plants and flowers that they have available, granted it’s not the most affordable if I compare to back home. I do however love a nursery and look forward to another visit.

Beautiful serene flowers cascade the entrance beckoning you to come in out of the humidity, and browse the lovely plants that seem to want to grace any patio or entryway. The prices are above average and the young assistants were very helpful in trying to assist me with my request to find a certain type of plant that would last through the summer. A zen environment to just go and peruse the different sections that could lower your blood pressure just by taking in the peace and calm of the colorful floral displays.
