The Siebenthaler Company

We’re getting ready to landscape part of our back yard along a 60′ fence line and this was the closest place to us, thought we’d check them out since we had never been here before. We went in with a notebook and pencil in hand so it was pretty obvious we needed info, no one greeted us, actually no one paid any attention to us the entire time we were there. We’re pretty much landscaping idiots so we really needed some assistance and info, we got neither. A few employees walked by us, maybe they were helping other people, who knows, but not a word was said to us. We decided to leave and go elsewhere, glad we did. Upon talking to a family member about our experience, they told us that Siebenthaler was the most expensive place in town anyway, not quite sure why this is, it definitely isn’t because of their customer service. Also, the plants at the other place we ended up going to looked much nicer than Siebenthaler’s as well, shop around before you go here, better quality products and service elsewhere.

This gardening/​floral store is right next to my bank (Chase) which makes it very convenient (maybe too convenient). They even share the same main entrance.
Being new to the area, I «needed» plants for my new place, so checked them out. As with most gardening/​/​floral centers, some prices are good while others are too high. I bought an African violet for $ 5 (a decent price for a healthy, blooming plant) but paid over $ 30 for a hanging hoya plant (hindu rope). I knew it was pricey but I don’t see this particular plant very often and really wanted it. I would have been ok with the price except I just happened to be at the local Walmart a week later and just happened to luck out on the same plant but bigger and with new growth for a mere $ 12. I realize I just got lucky and the health of the plant may end up being more questionable, but that is a huge gap in price.
Other good points are the fact that they offer workshops that I want to check out.

They sell it all from trees, through flowers, shrubs to sod. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. All plants and trees are clearly labelled and the prices are reasonable. They have four checkout lanes inside and one or more outside, so closing the deal can be fairly quick. What a treat to visit in the spring!
