Very helpful staff, great shopping experience. He listened to our attempt at describing some jellyfish hanging Babylonian garden's version of a plant. I'm still confused yet with in just a couple of seconds he was able to figure out what we were looking for, or at least the closet kinds of hanging air plants they had in stock. Thanks again two thumbs up to the Earl May Gardens team!!

I am always happy to go to Earl May, they have such polite workers and their plants and flowers are beautiful always. So many different pots and decor. I definitely will be back there are so many things I want to buy . You should check them out whenever you have a chance.

Earl May has been around forever and there's a reason why...they have EVERYTHING! I love the openness of the inside and the large variety both inside and outside. The staff is very helpful and insightful in guiding you through your next project. They helped answer my questions and gave me feedback on my ideas while providing other choices/options that I never would've thought of. Great store and great staff members!

They have a good selection of garden and patio items. Service was very good.Many things are priced a little too high.But I'm sure that I will go back again.

We stopped in to buy some plants got our plants and waited at register for 20 plus minutes. No one around! Check backroom, bathrooms, outside, office's, break room. No 1 person in the building!!We left along with 2 other customers without buying anything!! Pulled out of drive and 2 people standing by fork lift!! Won't be going back

They have some gorgeous flowers but were more than I wanted to spend. So I went to Hyvee and got 4 for almost the same price as 1 hanging basket I looked at.

I have been shopping at this Earl May for 15 years. I enjoy their selection and customer service. I am willing to spend a little more to get expert help. Recently the management changed. The manager is clueless and absent. He hired young people with no expertise or training and drove off my favorite expert who went out of her way repeatedly to help. If this doesn't change soon I'm done with this location. I've heard good things about Ankeny.

I didn't shop here but doordash brought my food to them instead of me. I called the garden center and told them I'm on my way. They were closing but said they would stay open for me to come and get my food. Really nice people! I would def give them my business.

Great customer service. As soon as I walked through the door someone offered me help. One of the associates working took the time to explain multiple things to me. My plant was looking a little worrisome and I called the store and they were so kind and helpful. Gave me an email to send photos for further help. My plant is alive and looks beautiful now thanks to them. You don't find great customer service like this anymore.

I have always loved going to Earl May. They always have a good selection of what I am wanting to buy. Or, they know what I need to buy to make my plants grow.This particular time, I was looking for a flocked Christmas tree but decided that I would try to do it myself this year. This should be fun. If not, they have a good selection of real and fake (if you are into that thing) tree.

Love the nice people here.. loved the fact that a 60 ish y/o lady was a new hire and wanted to help us, refreshing over other stores young lazy employees

Was an ok experience, had lots of nice items. Some items were a little pricey for this gal; but not all! Was looking for something particular but couldn't find staff to help assist with what I needed bc they only gal there was checking people out. Other than that it wasn't too bad of a place.

Stay away from this store. The manager has no idea what he is doing! He told a family member of mine when they bought sod from the story not only would they delver it but they would also lay it as well. When it got delivered the manager then said " I don't recall telling you I would lay it" ! This A Hole not only needs to pay for it but Should be Fired for Lying to the customer(s) what the company can and/or can not do! He was told if they can't lay the sod down they would take their business else where but No they(He) said they would! I will be contacting BBB because of this!

My favorite place to purchase plants I have close to 50 some plants in my home from this amazing store don't miss out

Employees are very pleasant and they know there stuff and very helpful. They have plenty of product to choose from. I highly recommend this place.

I gave 4 stars because all plants I purchase are healthy and live when planted. However, I think you should price yourselves on Lowes level. Houseplants are outrageous and they may not live. I was in to get a houseplant and left empty handed. Your help however is excellent.

Weak selection of over-priced house plants and large percentage of them are dying. Staff was also not very knowledgeable. I did purchase some potting soil and it's poor quality.

This is the biggest earl may in Iowa. They have Everything from trees to flowers shrubs and beautiful hostels indoor plants as well and the patio furniture they sell is gorgeous I would definitely recommend coming here for any gardening that you want to do in your yard and I couldn't believe that actually had strawberries in grapes as well

Do NOT buy plants from here. They come with mealybugs. I bought one plant, get home and see it’s covered in them. I quarantine the plant then a month later all the plants I have are infected. Never buying one from there again.

You just about have to get a bank loan to buy anything here! Rarely go unless I want something now!
