Our family has had nothing but great experiences shopping at Bates Nursery. In fact, we've been when they had a grill set up and offered great BBQ and Burgers and always a free water bottle. The staff have been very informed and helpful which keeps us returning as it's almost impossible to get any kind of information from the inexperienced staff at the big box stores. We love the specials which are amazing. Only wish I'd bought many more bags of their special compost dirt when it was on sale for a $1 per bag! I am a big fan of roses and wish they'd carry even more varieties than they do but I understand that's getting quite specialized. Overall, it's the best nursery in town IMO and well worth a visit to see for yourself.
Pros: Healthy selections of plants
Cons: Wish it carried more rose varieties
