Found this lovely garden center through Google search in our neighborhood.They have a grand selection of flora that includes flowers to vegetables. We were amazed by the varieties they owned within a specific category of vegetable. Linda was at the helm of things and walked us though the various aspects of shrubs, plants and offered generous tips on gardening techniques. Check the inside of the store for some cute looking garden decors.The prices seem to be nominal and the parking space won’t be a challenge. They also have a long list of items coming their way through the Spring and Summer and we can’t wait to get back here.

The people are helpful and they carry a great assortment of plants. They carry many foreign veggies used in ethnic cooking, and other heirloom and rare domestic stuff. TONS of tomato, eggplant, chili pepper and bell pepper varieties. Check out my pictures for a small sample of their hot peppers and other harder to find plants. And they keep them all well stocked throughout the spring planting months.Inside they also have a great selection of fertilizers, pest control, and other supplies year-round. Best garden center in the area!

3.5 stars reallyA nice local mom and pop garden center with plenty of selections for outdoor plants, flowers, vegetables, and houseplants. They carried some hard to find plants too such as the rattlesnake calathea. I haven't seen these in any other stores yet.However, price is a little on the higher end compared to others.

A small family owned business. Owned a large plot of land but sold it to the developer who built townhouses except for their small store that remains today. Originally, they were to close everything but decided they had a small gold mine here and kept the store. They are only open in Spring and reopen in Fall till the end of Christmas. You can get your plants, pumpkins and Chtistmsd trees here.

I walked in today and asked for some advice. Was completely brushed off even though I was the only one in the store at that point. I found another place.

I bought 33 plants for my garden. This is the first time I am doing a garden in fabric bags.I lost 3 and one tomato plant is in a little trouble however I think it can be saved. When I was selecting plants for the garden I was surprised and frustrated at how many they had. I don't have much area to garden in and I wanted to buy many more than I have room for but I suppose that is a good problem to have.When they are busy especially on a weekend the parking lot is just not big enough.The staff has always been polite and helpful however some are more knowledgeable than others.I am only giving 4 stars because I can't give 4.5. I blame Google for that.Overall I think it's worth a visit if you are into gardening.The picture is just some of what I have left after dealing with lowlife on the home owners association board where I live.A friend has the rest and they are doing well

I passed this place many times and always wanted to stop but for one reason or other I didn’t. Now I kick myself for not during it earlier. It’s an awesome nursery. My son and I I just started 2 veggie garden beds this year and we got everything I needed from here and more. Tony was a great help and on the phone and even more in person. He was especially informative, friendly, and professional. I definitely recommend Coppola’s garden center for everything gardening!

Small selection of soil, only a couple brands. Was looking for soil for my pet turtle 🐢 but had no luck. Tons of lovely flowers and plants though. I believe it's family owned, wanted to support them as opposed to Lowe's.

We discovered this gem of a place today and absolutely loved it! Great selection of annual and perrineal flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits and other gardening essentials. They also have an impressive selection of Indian flowers and seeds. The best part was the super friendly customer service. Michael answered all our questions very patiently and provided us with so many helpful tips. Will definitely be back!!

What a pleasant experience! This is coming from our multiple family trips here, we can see that they know how to take care of their plants. The succulents looked amazing on this last trip and we always leave with our Jeep filled.For the price you pay, the plants quality match.I’m glad we found this little gem and will continue coming back! 😎

Great experience. Fresh flowers and vegetables. They are also having a sale on pumpkins and squash for the fall season. I will always recommend for my family and friends to come here. This place has everything you need for gardening especially if your a beginner like my self. The workers are friendly and go above and beyond to make sure your comfortable and you have everything you need. They also gave me tips on gardening , and they offer different activities and events right there on the property. There isn't any handi cap parking or public bathroom. Mask is not required !

They were very friendly and went above and beyond for me. I'll definitely be going back for anything else we need in the future. I recently had spine surgery so I couldn't drive or lift the bags of Johnathan Green products I called about. They were quick to make sure that what I needed was in fact in stock, came to my car to process payment so I didn't have to push myself and walk and even loaded up my trunk for me. Im very happy with what I got, am grateful for their help and highly recommended them to anyone!

A great place to go for all gardening needs. Not only is there a really wide variety, but there are tips and information on each plant and you can always ask if you have any questions. Everything is beautifully grown and ready to take home (and fairly priced). Would recommend to anyone from a beginner gardener to an experienced one.

Love this garden center. They clearly care for their plants as ALL are still healthy and properly watered unlike many places at the end of the season. They are still getting beautiful new plants! Just got a Ming Aurelia. Haven't had one in 20 years!. Also love shopping there with my daughter. Lindsay. Tony always recognizes us. He and his brother Bob make it a fun experience! Highly recommend!!!

This place was a little expensive. It would not be a problem but the flowers were not that great. I could have spent a lot less and gotten better flowers at Home Depot but I like to shop local and small businesses, especially during the current situation. The customer service was great and the people were very friendly. I may give them another try but the wife is very angry with me right now.

My husband and I stop there today 3/25/23We walked In , inside was a female employee and 2 male , neither one of them acknowledge our presence not even a Hello . We were the only customers in the place , my husband and I just walked out , horrible customer relations . My suggestion to management get some customer care/ customer service training to your employees

I just went there for the first time yesterday and found it to be a lovely place with lots of variety of herbs, veggies and decorative plants. I was really happy to see they carried beneficial insects for pest control. Everyone i dealt with was very friendly. I will definitely be back!

What a wonderful place! I work close by and always by a wreath for my parents at Christmas time. Every year the staff is friendly and helpful, and put together a beautiful wreath for my parents,and,,,yes my Mom did cry when I gave it to her! The love and effort the ladies put into every decoration and detail really shines through! Thank you again for a beautiful wreath,Merry Christmas!

Great place to buy a verity of plants and gardening related items.Just like the multitude of Indian people I go there to get Indian vegetable plants, prices are a bit high but not unreasonable. Considering the fact that there aren't any other garden centers with a dedicated selection of Indian vegetables and plants they could have way higher prices but they don'tThey alwasy have a great selection of other vegetables including a whole section of various tomatoes and flowers.I have purchased 4 rose bushes from them over the years along with other plants and am very satisfied with the quality of the plants.The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and helpful which is what keeps me going back to them year over year.
