For Garden's Sake

My office was last minute looking for Valentine’s Day gifts for our colleagues. When I came into For Garden’s Sake, Morgan was eager to help! I gave her our price range and she laid out different options for me; I was a little weary as I don’t have a lot of experience with plants, but how experienced and friendly she was reassured me. They were able to put together and deliver almost 100 BEAUTIFUL plants+pots in just a few days. Absolutely amazing customer service, and beautiful plants! I would recommend For Garden’s Sake to everybody!!

We bought some herbs seeds like cilantro, mint, chilli, basil. This place has a large variety of plants. The service was friendly. They also have very rare plants which were imported.

One of my favorite plant nursery in the triangle and I've been to many! They have much more variety than other places for both indoor and outdoor plants. This year they had a HUGE selection, much more than when I last visited in August of last year. Most of the prices I saw were very fair and the staff seems knowledgeable as if they at least get some degree of training on plant care. They staff is very friendly too.

The overall area is cute to visit. They have goats chickens and ducks outside and a little outdoor seating area though I never see any coffee truck or anything so not sure what the seating is really for.

My latest visit I got two new houseplants, a succulent for $7 and a fern for $17, both of which I thought was fair for the breed of plants they were. The only other plant supply I LOVE in this area is actually a traveling bus called Rooted so this is my top place for plant nursery with a physical, permanent location.

Plants and pots and people! What a lovely garden center! Beautifully laid out with both inside and outside areas. They even have goats!! I found a bubble gum tradescantia plant that is very healthy and hardy. Judy, who helped me, was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my visit and will be going back when I'm in town.

Hands down the BEST garden center I have been to. It's so much better to support smaller businesses like this place than big brand name stores. The staff is incredibly helpful with answering questions and extremely knowledgeable, not forgetting to mention how kind they have always been to me and my family. They've taught me many things about each of the plants I've gotten there. I can't say enough good things about them. :)

I am very pleased with For Gardens Sake for residential landscape design and installation. They were easy to work with and drew up an attractive yard design. They were very flexible throughout the process, allowing me to change my mind on a few items prior to ordering. Installation was very smooth and we have gotten many compliments from neighbors since it was done. Highly recommend!

We had the best experience with For Garden's Sake! Everyone we were in contact with was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had them plant seven trees to make a privacy screen, and it turned out beautifully. Since we purchased the house, we have had drainage issues in that area and they were able to formulate a plan to re-direct water to maintain our beautiful new trees. We highly recommend them and will use them in the future!

Great garden center and great place to take the kids and just chill. They have some goats, chickens, ducks, fish, and turtles to look at and a lake and small play set. There is zero pressure to walk around and shop. They even have a little free library for books!

This is such a stunning place. The aesthetic is everything. You instantly feel at peace entering the grounds. I'm mainly a houseplant kind of gal and I fell in love when I entered their indoor houseplant area. I saw so many unique plants that I rarely ever see in person, just online. I would highly recommend. The staff was lovely and there are ducks, chickens, and goats, out front. I visited on my birthday and honestly it was the highlight of my day. I can't wait to go back.

I love this place. Beautiful plants and pots, super nice staff. Morgan is SUPER knowledgeable about plants, I am fairly new, so I pick her brain regularly with all sorts of questions, some probably dumb, and she always has good and patient answers.

We had a fall wreath making class there and it was super fun! It is also a beautiful place to visit - they have many interesting plants🪴 . We also had a good time watching the goats, chickens, and ducks :)

In 2022, I finally decided that the poor drainage situation in our back yard had to be addressed. I've had other landscape services that disappointed me and was determined to get a qualified & dependable company this time.
I researched the landscapers in the area and found For Garden's Sake was a well run and very reputable organization. I reached out to the folks at FGS and gave them a description of the problems we were experiencing. Nick contacted me and we arranged to have him survey the property to do a landscape consultation. During the consultation, my wife and I worked with Doug (FGS's landscape architect) to detail the items we had to have fixed and some others that would be a 'nice to have'. From that, FGS developed a proposal showing all parts of the planned project with explanations for each segment. We then had a meeting with Doug to adjust the scope and materials to fit our budget and, once it was agreed upon, schedule the work. We were away for the initial portion (regrading and old sod removal) but were there to see the rest as they progressed. The worker were efficient, competent and considerate of us and our property.
Total time for the work was 11 days. The results were amazing! One of the best parts was the work done to create a walkway and disposal bin pad from the garage driveway to the backyard deck eliminating the walk through soggy grass. I would highly recommend FGS for their expertise and professional work. The people there are devoted to making the customer satisfied and providing the best service possible.

I used them for landscaping, which incorporated plan design, plant recommendations, implementation, stone edging, patio construction, garden boxes, even irrigation and lighting. These folks are very talented and extremely easy to work with. Ryan and his crew addressed any questions or concerns I had right away, and always with a smile. Always punctual, they kept me well-informed through every phase of the project!

For Garden’s Sake redid our entire landscaping - drainage, grading, sod and new shrubs and trees. They were very thorough, did an amazing job and very tidy. We are very pleased with the entire process. The designer, the office staff and the installers.

Could their employees be more polite and friendly? I don't think so!

I was searching for some pansies, kind of late in the season to even find any. They're great cos they last thru the Winter into Spring. Thankfully they still had some left!

They also have Christmas trees of all sizes and greenery right now. The wonderful scent of pine in the air was intoxicating!

Their setting is lovely and peaceful. The farm animals (in a separate fence area with plenty of room to roam) as you drive in and the pond was a pleasant surprise.

A magical wonderland for all the plant lovers out there.

This place is massive! Plants everywhere, pots everywhere, everything you'd ever need!

The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable of the plants available. I probably spent an hour here and it was so worth it. When you think of a plant shop, this is the place you think of. Plants hanging from the ceilings, climbing up the wall, everywhere you look something new catches your eye.

I will definitely be returning and I'll be bringing some plant lovers with me!

I purchased 2 beautiful plants (a Frosty Fern and a Norfolk Island Pine). The staff was helpful and mentioned that there's a bar and live music during the Spring/Summer months. I can't wait to go back!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Visit the Potting Shed for drinks while (or before, or after) you shop. House plants are available inside and they rotate new inventory constantly. Only slightly more expensive than big box stores and the plants are WAY healthier. I visit at least once a week, usually for either new pots or new plants and then I end up leaving with both. All plants pictured below are from FGS!

My wife loves this place and I appreciate it for that. Beyond that, they always have something new when we go there, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They have so much stuff for indoors and out so is definitely worth the trip to check it out.

There are goats, chickens, and ducks to look at too!

UPDATE: They have expanded a little and there are even more plants inside. There is a clearance section with some really good deals, too!

Beautiful garden center with a huge selection of indoor and outdoor plants and plant care supplies. Love that you can drink a mimosa while you shop and enjoy the duck pond and goats. Cute, fun weekend spot for plant lovers!
