Rick is amazing. I went to the garden center today and he went above and beyond to help me with my gardening needs. Knowledgeable, friendly, and oh so helpful! I am even considering a part-time job he offered in the spring! The garden center is beautiful and peaceful. I can see spending hours there playing in the dirt and helping young things grow. :
I feel so lucky to have this garden center in our small town! turns out it’s actually run by a long time Local family which makes me happy to spend my money here. They continuously fertilize their plants and have extensive knowledge because I came to them with so many questions lol Do good for the community and shop here!
I have been a customer here for many years and spent a lot of money here. Today I spent 45 minutes and spent 180 Last week 95 Buy all our water plants here, fertilizers etc SUSAN was rude and made me feel like an inconvenience. She told me I was “lucky “ that she helped me add vinca vine to my 2 planters. She told me to make up my mind She told me she is a retired nurse It’s a good thing she’s retired I’m a nurse and I don’t treat patients that way even if they are difficult. I know I’m indecisive. I really am. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I guess we all have bad days. You quoted to me 5 times about your 5 stars. So here ya go. But it’s not for you it’s for Effingers. Make no mistake. Keep telling yourself you are a 5 star employee. Thank you for all of your work. Research what a 5 star employee is. You get a solid 1. I asked to speak to the owner and he said first off “depends “ then he proceeded to quickly say “Susan”treated you well. WOW I love your company and quality plants. But you should care about how customers are treated The rest of the staff was very nice the girl who helped me take my plants to car and the girl at register. Thank you for that.
I am never coming back here!! Wednesday July 12 I came at 3:30pm half an hour before they closed. A middle aged women wearing blue sunglasses and a light green shirt was extremely rude to me. She first started accusing me of being a recent caller and said it was most likely me because me and the caller had the same plants in mind. I then told her that I wanted something that was easy to take care of and that would come back every year, she started to laugh rudely in my face while saying “ if you want plants yOu hAVe tO WaTEr tHem evEry day” I never once mentioned anything about watering. She then sarcastically says “ oh of course YOU definitely know more than us”, at this point I am saying to myself what is wrong with this lady?!? As we were walking down to the hosta section I let her know that I didn’t know a lot about hostas, she AGAIN says “I know you don’t, you don’t want the responsibility of a plant” I pick the plant I want and go to checkout she goes off again about how she is tired and that she is so frustrated. As I am done with checkout she tells me to have a good day I don’t reply because she was very rude, SHE THEN HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY WOW AND GIVE ME A STARE!!!!
Just a great friendly knowledgeable place to get your landscaping needs. Very helpful in your planting instructions or any problems you have with a plant etc….Love to shop there.
Called in and asked if they had American Holly trees in stock Ilex Opaca. The man that answered said he had about 50. Excitedly, I drove 1 hour to go pick up 10 of them. When I get there he tells me that they’re not American Hollies, but Oakland Hollies that are small hybrids and not what I asked for. He knew the whole time and lied to me over the phone. It was ridiculous and wasted me 2 hours time and gas. I will never go back there, really shady customer service. Be warned that they might lie to you.
The the other day I called Effinger’s‘s and spoke with Trudy, the owner, not knowing it was the owner. She gave me so much information and a lot of her knowledge on plants that I needed for my waterfall. She said when I get there to ask for Susan. When I got there, Susan was wonderful and delightful, and helped me and had all the things that Trudy had said I needed to look at. Including walking over to her house to see the actual plants that are growing. Shortly after Trudy, the owner came out. And spoke with me and again assured me of the plants that I needed with nothing but Care and kindness and years and years of knowledge. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home more people actually care. This is the place to go. I won’t go anywhere else from now on. Thank you Effinger’s and thank you Trudy for the most delightful experience.
The owner, Trudy, helped me select a Hibiscus today. It had a beautiful light pink bloom! I Love Effingers Garden Center, as they have so much to choose from & the service is Awesome!
We went to Effingers with no knowledge of what we wanted being first time homebuyers, we were pointed in the direction of Rick. I can not say enough good things about Rick, he took his time to draw a picture of different setups we could use and different plants. He then walked us around and showed us what they were and told us about the plants. Not once did he pressure us to get anything or make us feel like we were a burden to him on a busy Saturday afternoon. We will definitely be going back for all things outdoors!
Great service! Very helpful and informative on selecting a flowering tree and how to care for it. Sargeant Crabapple is a stunner! Thank you Mr. Effinger!
