I always receive compliments on my yard as a result of their great fertilizing products. The staff is very helpful!

Love this place! The staff us so friendly and they know so much, it's as if they went to school for plants or something, I can go there and ask them any question about anything and they can explain it in terms that I understand! AND they dont use it as an opportunity to sell me things! I wish they would put the actual names of the plants on the products though.

I was being helped by a not so knowledgeable young lady then she walked away in the middle of helping us to go help someone she knew and never came back. We will not return

After a not so great experience at the store on Northland I decided to come to this store and had an amazing experience. Cameron was amazingly helpful along with her manager (Heather, I think). I will continue to be a loyal customer at this store!

Can be pricey, but overall, they have a superb selection of house plants during the winter months, and I got a peek of their vegetables coming in. They look wonderful this year

Beautiful, healthy flowers and plans. Much better selection than the big chain stores. You pay a little more, but the plans are bigger and healthier. Totally worth the extra money if you're into gardening! I highly recommend going there!

Never had a bad experience at Earl May! Plants are beautiful and healthy! Staff is knowledgeable. And locations are conveniently situated in the corridor.

Only other people working and the old guy with an earring in walked away from us didn't want to help so went to Palo garden center where they were more than happy to help with my Xmas . Recommend Early May to go ahead and go out of business. Not helpful at all.

Wonderful selection of plants, pots, holiday items, garden decor, and more. The staff are super friendly & very knowledgeable. As a bonus, if you buy a plant & a pot, they'll pot it for free! What a great place.

We went in as two novice gardeners with a few questions. We advised we had no idea what we were doing and needed some help. Each associate acted like we were bothering them when asked where the potting soil was, "inside and outside" is not exactly the most helpful answer in that situation. Every person in the building looked at us like we were stupid. If you're a beginner with gardening do not waste your time here.

Not very friendly didn't really look to see if they had anything just said no. Maybe they really didn't have anything but presentation wasn't very good. I know with a covid-19 everything's different but sometimes we got to try a little harder.

Daughter wanted to use her $10 gift certificate from the mail, but she only spent $9.98 so they wouldn't let her use it😞

Bought 4 statue's and offered to hold another to use fun cash on next month. Only thing that would make it better is nice weather so I have them out in my yard!

Not only do they have a great selection but they provided education on how to take care of our new plant. Thank you Earl May and happy Earth day!

They always have great plants there that are all on good condition. They will repot a plant for you if needed and give you advice on not only the plants they have there but any plants you might have at home.

Was recommended to come here by a local tree company for a few things. I was impressed with their service, Thank you Heather for the outstanding service!
