Watson's Greenhouse and Nursery

Best nursery!! They have so many different types of flowers and trees. Inside the large greenhouse they have a bunch of different home items, food, etc.

I bought a beautiful banana tree and some cone flowers. We were also scouting a shade tree for the backyard. The staff was very knowledgeable and bent over backwards to answer questions and help with the decision making process. Thank you!

3.5 stars, but rounding up to 4.

If I had nothing to compare Watson’s to I would give them 5 stars. The selection is great. I love the house plant selection along with the home goods & garden items. Staff was friendly, helpful, & knowledgeable. I even saw staff helping an elderly customer load purchases into their car. They have a generous rewards program & great family friendly events.

BUT when compared to my go-to greenhouse Watson’s comes in a little short. Although their plants perfectly fine, healthier plants at better prices are available if you travel a bit out of the metro. I’ll post some pictures below for reference.

The first picture is of rosemary. Watson’s on the left, competitor on the right. The plant from the competitor has a healthier color, bushier growth, & a better taste (Watson’s is quite bitter). If you notice, the Watson’s plant is $2 more expensive & from the same initial source. Assuming the differences are due to type &/or lack of fertilizer.

Next picture is vinca. Watson’s on the left, competitor on the right. Same initial source & also $2 more expensive at Watson’s. Competitor’s plant is denser, lusher (more growth points), & longer trailing. Watson’s does have a couple blooms, but that probably comes down to the difference of the fertilizer used. I grow vinca for trailing foliage, so I couldn’t care less about the blooms.

Overall, Watson’s is a great option especially if you’re close. I will return to Watson’s occasionally for the large variety, home goods, & family events but I will get the majority of my plants elsewhere.

I've been to several Garden Nursery's in my life. This one is by far the best one. They got a great selection of plants to choose from, the staff were SUPER friendly and they had an amazing shopping area (pictured). Will be back for sure!
