What Your Neighbors in Syracuse & Central New York Have To Say About Us

Great place. My wife and I went here last weekend because we were stir crazy and needed to be in the sun and see other humans. This was the only greenhouse that was open (or at least that answered the phone). For those of you not familiar with northern living, and more specifically, the dreary gray gloomy mid winter in Central New York, it's rough. Most greenhouses just close the doors in late Fall and ride out the gloom until Spring. Not only was this place open but it was bustling with customers and enthusiastic and engaged staff. All that and sun streaming through the whole place. What a huge boost for us! They have tons of plants, pottery, curated second hand findings, and artisan hand-made goods and all reasonably priced. A welcome oasis filled with vibrant life, in a vast bleak tundra. What a great experience! Will be back.

Wonderful time here today. Unique plants and flowers. Beautiful displays. They also had a bonsai club there today, very cool!

Great variety and display of flowers and shrubs. Carol, as well as her friendly staff, are knowledgeable and helpful about the greenery. Make the trip to Lafayette and see for yourself. My pictures show off my purchases today. Enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful!!! Huge selection and very friendly atmosphere :) There is also a cafe with pastries that are delicious!!

Beautiful greenhouse full of healthy & gorgeous plants! Outside area is incredible. It's like visiting a retreat for the gardeners soul.

Beautiful plants and friendly staff. The greenhouses are beautiful and packed with plants so you never know what you will find. They have annuals, perennials, ferns, and succulents. If you love plants and haven't been here you are missing out.

It was such a beautiful greenhouse and had such an amazing selection. Totally worth the drive! Will be going back many many times 💙

Beyond beautiful! There are so many plants that other stores don’t carry. All of my plants are thriving! The staff was more than friendly and helpful!

I love it! It is such a beautiful oasis inside. There is such a wide variety of houseplants to choose from. They had some exotic sansevaria too. I will be back.

Wow. Thank you Terry and Carol for welcoming us on a cold snowy day. The greenhouse was dreamy. The citrus trees smelled delicious. The sizes, prices and health of all your plants is unbeatable. Really outstanding and worth the 2.5 hour drive for me. Cya again soon!
