A shout out to Sargent's Gardens in Rochester. After I killed two hydrangeas by planting them in the wrong soil in the wrong place, Sargent's not only replaced them free, but also helped me pick out the right plants and affirmed my hunch that I needed to amend my soil.

My mother and I stopped there and were so pleasantly surprised. What a beautiful place. It was the end of July and everything on their grounds was vibrant, healthy and green.plus all flowering plants were covered in beautiful blooms. We will be back!

Report
We did a small landscape project at our home and they were super helpful from start to finish. We ordered our plants, top soil and rock from them and the customer service was excellent. They even took the time to help us decide which plants would be best for our project by walking us through their inventory and pointing out what would work and what wouldn't. We would highly recommend Sargent's.
