I used to work there totally understand why people had to wait because the owner is paying the same as if you worked at a convenient store. Also had to change my number after quitting because the OWNER decided to harass me. I would never work for or do business with Surry gardens again!

We contracted for them to do a plan for landscaping our lake property. She came out and viewed property June 6. Said she'd do a plan and make recommendations on plants. It's now august 27 We never heard from her once. Made multiple calls and spoke to her. Lots of excuses. No results. Totally unprofessional and unreliable. i would not accept a thing Surrey says at face value. We have now lost the entire summer. Go somewhere else.

We chose some houseplants. When we went to pay we had to ring the bell several times. While waiting several employees came in none of them offered to help us or get someone to cash us out. After 10 minutes an employee came and asked if we were ready to cash out. With each item we were buying she gave us the price and asked if we wanted to purchase it.

We asked Surrey Garden to come to our home in January, to discuss some serious planting and gardens in our new home. She took pictures, told us to fill out forms (we did twice) and never heard anything back. So we called again, and she was going to get back to us. Long story short, we are 4 months later, and after a few more phone calls were just told they are "too busy". Would have been nice to have been told that 3 months ago.

Have been going to this nursery for years, but always do it as a last resort. We have nicknamed this place Surly gardens. Don't get me wrong, they have everything you could need, but don't expect them to be friendly or helpful. Arrived today just before opening and waited in my car, expecting them to turn off the sprinklers at 9 a.m. Understand it's been dry, but it was hard to get to the entrance without getting soaked. Watched an older woman trying to run to get through the sprinklers and took a digger on both knees. Wandered through the greenhouses and got to the bottom of the hill. Would have

Great selection of plants . Helpful staff for the most part one fella can be a bit cranky. I've always been helped and had my questions answered . I'd of given it 5 stars but parking is atrocious.

The place is a lot bigger than I expected, greenhouse after greenhouse, nice healthy plants, and variety you don't find elsewhere. Yes they are a bit more expensive than the "big box" but the plants are fuller and better quality. Oh any garden buff could go overboard without any trouble !! Only concern was that the greenhouses and various areas where they have plants are not marked well, it can be very hard to find things and the staff people don't wear any kind of ID so we did a lot of unnecessary hiking around. All in all we agreed it was worth the extra 20 miles to go
