Green’s Produce and Plants

I am not sure if I would take the couple of negative reviews very seriously. I have been coming here for over 35 years (since I was 3) for ALL of my seasonal produce: Parker County peaches, cantaloupe, plums, fresh sliced pineapple, local honey… They actually throw out produce that is not up to their high standard, and I should note that if you are uncertain on choosing which items to buy, they have always picked the freshest fruits and veggies for me, and they have never let me down. As for plants, they DO offer guarantees. To the lady who claims that they refused to refund her money on her one day old plants: I HIGHLY DOUBT IT! You will not be disappointed by the level of service and quality of seasonal produce here. Both are far superior to that of any high-​end grocery chain. On value, you get what you pay for, and what you will find is exceptional quality and excellent service at Green’s.

Linda in the garden center was so kind, knowledgable and very helpful to me in finding the right plants for my flower beds. Thank you! Love the produce section as well. There is always fresh quality produce and nice customer service. Been coming here for years. Green’s produce and plants is the best!

BUYER BEWARE!!!
I bought some plants there, $ 200 worth, on May 9, and some were not doing so well and may have been dying when I bought them. I called them to see if I could return or exchange them and they said no. Even though I bought them just days before. Unbelievable!
Proceed with caution when buying plants here. Any reputable nursery offers a minimum of 3 months guarantee, Home Depot and lowes offer a 1 year as long as you keep your receipt.
Also plants are about twice the price as Home Depot.
Many plants were mislabeled too.

I love this place. Great plants. Great produce and great service. I live in DWG and am so glad this little gem is so close to our house.

They may be the bee’s knees for produce, but one of their milkweed plants that I bought last week had been sprayed with systemic insecticide and killed six of my Monarch caterpillars. Thank goodness I only bought one. Be wary of where you buy your plants for the pollinators.
I will never shop there again!

So much fun no matter what you are looking for-​antiques, plants, flowers, succulents, veggies, salsas, planters, foods.

Really like this market.
Prices are reasonable for «organic» in-​season local produce, same as expected at a large farmer’s market. Opens hours are perfect for those up at the crack of dawn like myself…
I make weekly trips to this location, before I visit the local grocery store for select items… Repeat customer

Love coming here to fill up for our vegetables for the week. Always fresh and mostly locally grown. A few items, such as strawberries, were the same as those found at Walmart but priced a few dollars less. It’s just a warm and friendly atmosphere over all — I don’t mind spending more on a few items here and there simply due to the pleasant staff.

My family and I have been going here for at least 32 years that I know of! They have the BEST selection of fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables anywhere around! They also carry other items depending on the season! The spring and summer times you can pick out from rows and rows of flowers, trees and plants! The employees are always great and helpful! Yes they also have the best local honey around I think! They also carry several figurings for the benches, lawn, garden, trees or where ever you dream up of putting them at! So if your looking for the best of produce or plants this is the place to come and spend at least 45 minutes to look around at everything! I’m sure I’m missing somethings as its been almost 2 years since I’ve been back since we moved out to the far east of Texas it’s a long, long drive! I know you’ll be glad you stopped in there though and the family as the kids can see all kinds of things to look at!

I always get the freshest fruit here. They also have local honey– which is fantastic! It does have a different taste, but man it’s great. I mainly come here for fruit, but they also have vegetables. Definitely check this place out.

I’m so glad I found this place. Not only do they have great local produce but the plants are awesome. All small vegetable plants (broccoli, snap peas, kale, swiss chard, and more) are $ 1.99 and look awesomely healthy. They have a great variety of flowering plants too. The best surprise was the great garden decorations that go beyond the ordinary. Need old bowling pins? They’ve got that! Great customer service too.

Great plants, produce and customer service! I would recommend to any one who wants fresh produce, healthy plants and wonderful staff. Prices are average but this is proof that you get what you pay for.

The concern about the produce and where it’s sourced from and what kind of organic something isn’t a thing for me here. I buy something to snack on every now and again, but I’m here for plants.
This is where I find myself every spring and fall. Tomatoes, peppers, herbs, whatever other nonsense I can find to plant. There’s a great deal of plants to be had. The price is sometimes a little higher than a hardware store nursery, but a hardware store doesn’t have this selection and without fail has no idea how to keep the plants alive until you buy them. I admit, there are a few exceptions to that, but not many.
Everyone is usually very helpful and at least somewhat knowledgeable. It seems like they do a nice job of hiring local high school kids to do grunt work. I did nursery work for a long time in my teens and early 20’s. Great job.
Also, the display garden in the back always lets you know that they piddling little bell pepper you grew in your yard could have been huge if you were as good as the Green’s people.

I have enjoyed shopping at Green’s for years. Recently the hype on the big chains coming in to Arlington had my attention. My bad. Not that I can or will say anything bad about the big guys, I just love the produce at Green’s the hometown feel and shopping local does make a difference. So, I’m back to Green’s. Fun to see all the unique seasonal items.

5 star for plants! Lots of flowers, herbs and veggies to choose from. Ask questions! The staff is knowledgable and friendly. I love going to Greens!

I’m so excited to give Green’s 5 stars and I wholeheartedly think they deserve it! When next you find yourself in need of a fruit, veggie, mushroom, egg, herb, flower, garden decoration, birdhouse, potting soil, or tree — you should go here ASAP without hesitation!
This is exactly the kind of Farmer’s Market I’ve been looking for in Arlington, and I’m so stoked that it’s relatively close to me. The Cooper Street Farmer’s Market was awesome and I loved it, but now it’s a Chicken Express (so heartbreaking and probably what’s wrong with this country!), and the Downtown Arlington Farmer’s Market is great but it’s small and only open on Saturday mornings. Green’s is open all year long and all week long!
This market keeps no secrets about which items are currently in season, what’s local, and what’s shipped over from another state, so I’m not worried about being fooled or eating something that isn’t «100% organic and harvested next door.» Just look at their extremely helpful website or ask if you have any questions about the produce. Anything with the Green’s label on it is definitely local because it’s made by Green’s (duh) — which includes several of the sauces, jams, and jellies that you’ll find. Seriously, there are so many great things here to browse, drool over, and buy. Of course there are gorgeous fruits and veggies, but you’ll also see eggs, milk, cheese, juice, breads, fresh herbs in bulk, nuts, pickled veggies of all types, dressings and preserves, chips, homemade salsas, all kinds of sweet treats (fried pies, chocolates, yogurt covered nuts and pretzels, etc.), and multitudes of seasonal picks.
It’s October, so of course Green’s has pumpkins. But… I’m not sure you’ll fully grasp what a pumpkin-​wonderland this place is without seeing it for yourself. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of pumpkins here of every shape, size, and color. Green’s has over TEN varieties of Winter Squash right now… so many gourds! They are just beautiful and I want to buy them all. I’ve never seen this many types of squash in my life, all in one place, all sparkling and pretty and beckoning to me!
Outside with the multitudes of pumpkins are multitudes of plants for all of your gardening dreams; gorgeous flowers and trees plus every herb, lettuce, and vegetable you can think of! There’s also fantastic and unique décor to turn your backyard into your own creative masterpiece. Benches, wrought-​iron arbors and fence art, ceramic, clay, and wooden pots, fantastical birdhouses, outdoor holiday décor, fire-​pits and chimeneas…
I’m in love. An «I need to see you every day/​what did I ever do before I met you» kind of love. I’ve been going to school, working, or living in Arlington for a total of almost nine years, and during all of this time, I never knew about or went to Green’s. WHAT?! Although I want to mourn over all the lost time I could have spent at here, I won’t dwell on the past! I look forward to countless future visits to this beautiful business.

Stopped by because I was excited to see some local and hopefully organic food being sold by my new house. Eh, not much is organic and I don’t call produce from Mexico local. To be fair they don’t particularly advertise local & organic but I was pretty disappointed that there is not really a difference between shopping here and Albertsons, except the price.
They do however have some local honey & cheeses which are nice & some starter veggies & herbs to grow. Not sure if those are organic though…

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. Here’s why:
I have an obsession with Farmer’s Markets. When I find myself somewhere with time to kill, I immediately search for a farmer’s market to see what I can find. So it was that I ended up at Green’s Produce and Plants.
I love talking to the local farmers, finding out who grew which fruits and vegetables and which ones are particularly tasty that day. I became suspicious when I saw the first bin of vegetables — all blemish free, shiny (commercial wax coating? probably) and all of uniform shape and size. Anyone who has ever grown their own fruits and vegetables knows this isn’t what fruits and vegetables that come from local gardens look like.
I began to suspect this, like other DFW «Farmer’s Markets», was merely commercially grown fruits and vegetables masquerading as local, farm grown produce. My suspicions were confirmed when I saw the range of items available — many not in season and yet in pristine condition. I felt like I was in Kroger’s or Albertson’s produce department — without the air-​conditioning. «Local» tomatoes were from Tennessee. Tennessee? Yep, nothing makes me think «local» like 600+ miles away. Is there really no one in the entire Dallas/​Fort Worth area that was willing to supply them with local tomatoes? To top it off, they were $ 2.99 per pound! On average, you’re paying more than $ 2 per tomato! Broccoli? Wrapped in plastic wrap on styrofoam trays, in a refrigerator. Squash? Uniform, blemish free and suspiciously similar to the ones in the grocery stores — only much more expensive. The only thing that appeared to be locally grown was a box of beets. I grabbed some of those.
The «stand» is populated by bored looking high-​school or college employees. When I checked out, the female employee couldn’t even be bothered to weigh the two — TWO! — bags of produce I selected. She weighed the first one and then just used the same weight for the second bag to calculate the price. Really? Putting a bag of vegetables on a scale and punching that number into the register was clearly too much work!
Save your money, go to your local grocery store and get better prices.

I had a change of heart on Green’s — it’s pretty much the best place to get produce in fast food Arlington. Period.
I went a few times this weekend after I noticed that a good portion of their produce was from Texas, fairly priced, and the selection (green tomatoes!) was ten times better than what’d you find at the grocery store both in variety and quality.
The kiwis were huge and 2 for $ 1, the green tomatoes were awesome for frying ($ 2.49 a pound), and they had great tomatoes, new potatoes, green onions, watermelon, cantaloupe, etc.
So in the middle of the summer when the produce is the best, hit up Green’s and go to town.

Green’s… oh how amazing you are. I saw you from the road as my close friend dragged my fat ass down to Veteran’s Park to walk. I know my fat ass needed it but it made me mourn the leaving of my wallet at home so deeply that my best girl pal took me back to Green’s. the second day. After walking my fat ass again. sigh. Ok ok my butt needs it and I didn’t want to waste all that expended energy on a high calorie snack so we went vegetable shopping.
Wonderland! its a plant nursery AND a farmer’s market. Oh serendipity! The produce looks even better than Tom Thumb. Better than Whole Foods. Prices are a little less than Whole Foods. I got green beans that were so fresh. mmmm… I got beefsteak tomatoes that really look and taste like genuine tomatoes because they are! not pink mushy wanna be tomatoes. no sir. I got cucumbers and made tomato n cucumber salad when we got home. The green beans with some chicken in balsamic marinade got rave reviews at dinnertime. The beans were the best I’ve had since I had dirt to grow my own.
Try the Boyland’s real cane sugar ginger ale. Oh yeah. mmm.
I bought cantaloupe for 89 cents a pound and we cleaned it and served it to church group with whipped cream and all were happy. Yeah, I dropped fifty bucks on assorted vegetables and fruit and I will do it again.
I didn’t let myself go in the greenhouse. Its a very big greenhouse. Next paycheck I shall return and then I shall take home some greenery.
I love Green’s!
