Best selection for flowers, plants, trees, gardening, and landscaping! They never disappoint, great selection of boutique and gifts as well. A must go to for seasonal decor as well!Spring has Sprung at Hafners! The snow and cold has returned but a visit with the plants and budding flowers will assure Spring is on its way!

Recently I've been here during the week a couple of times and have had stellar customer service. They patiently answered all my questions and walked me over to the areas I needed to be. Top notch! However, I wouldn't recommend going on a weekend. The customer service on a weekend was the complete opposite experience.

I bought hanging ferns for my porch like I do every year. They look terrible because you have decreased the size of the fern by almost half. They are way to small for my porch and actually look ridiculous. Do the customer a favor keep the product the same and raise the price. I have to replace them from local greenhouse who has not shrunk their baskets in size. People notice don't insult our intelligence please.

Great produce and reasonable prices for them, other items are quite over priced. They have little statues for your yard or garden for example, but they are way over priced. Their costs for these items can be almost 200% over what can be found elsewhere.The plants they have are fairly good, better than most. Prices for those are a little high, but they have high exposure in the area and have become synonymous with these items.Checking out is fairly fast but we haven't been here on really busy days.Just stopped in again, but after Christmas for their clearance items. Just as before, very nice products but a bit over priced. Even at 50% off, things seemed too expensive.

My family and I went to explore this place and were not at all disappointed. The price on most things was reasonable and the selection was excellent. They have a beautiful selection of poinsettias that are grown on their property in North Syracuse. If you are looking for a great Christmas experience this is the place.

I love this place!! It's like Disney for gardeners. Very friendly and helpful staff, and an enormous variety of plants and supplies. I love shopping at local places like this. Their soil and compost are top notch and are designed for this region of the state. Prices are very very reasonable!!

Don't try to return a plant here within 24 hours never used, they will give you a hard time. They do have a wide selection and healthy plants.

My mom regularly shop's here for her annuals, but I've never been. This year we made it a family shopping experience with my mom, my dad, my son & myself of course. I was in shock at just the enormous size of the place & the incredible variety of plant's they have. When you first walk in it is like a regular store/gift shop with anything and everything you can imagine. Then it branches out into greenhouses and the back is open air garden's, tree's and shrubs in abundance. My mom filled her cart full of plant's, I bought the most beautiful hydrangea, and hanging plant for my front porch (still looks as perfect as the day I bought it) and my son got a stuffed animal of course. We will all be back and I have been bragging to everyone that this is the place to get your garden goodies from.

Their plant section is huge and it's more than a nursery. I was in awe of their collection. The other thing I enjoyed was their Handicraft items and organic food from the local creators and growers. Please support this place 💜And prices are also very reasonable.

Very large variety of plants, flowers, and trinkets. I went in only to look around and ended up with a cart full of stuff.

The good - Chuck Hafner's has the largest, most diverse selection of plants in the Syracuse area. There are ample perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs, vegetable plants, and houseplants to choose from. There is a large outdoor area with many trees and shrubs to select from, and there is a host of succulents, ferns, bonsai trees, and terrarium plants available. There are some native species available including Autumn, Sensitive, and Maidenhair ferns.The bad - Although it is a large garden center I find that it lacks diversity in the varieties of plants offered. Some things are poorly labeled, some plants even lack a proper name - something that I expect at a hardware store maybe, but it seems unacceptable at a garden center. They also sell invasive species including burning bush, despite knowing these plants are a problem in the state of New York. Retailers should be held more accountable for the plants they sell to customers, as they have more resources and tools at their disposal and have the ability to find alternatives to offer customers instead. Finally, Chuck Hafner's is on the pricier side, although there are a few clearance sections you can sometimes get lucky in.

Get our Christmas tree there every year. They make a fresh cut, trim any lower branches I ask to be removed. Bought a new stand, they drill a hole in the bottom of the trunk and you simply stick the stand in it and voila! The tree stands up straight, no screws to try and make the tree stand straight!Also bought an ornament, soooo many to choose from!

Best garden center....good to wait till after July 1st for sales but they always have a good supply. Trees are very reasonably priced. Plus cactus, perennials and shrubs

Can't beat the price and quality of all there vegetables, flowers, and have everything a gardener would need and more.I do find their bags of topsoil and potting soil to be a little expensive. But if it's as good as their other products it may be worth it.Cost half as much at a big box store, or buy a whole truckload dirt for a lot less.Still getting five stars. Awesome quality!

Amazing and huge collection! A meditative experience to go around every plant. They also have ice cream shop nearby. It might be costly if you're on a student budget.

This place is amazing! I went for houseplants, of which they didn't have a ton, but the place was swollen with beautiful flowers and the largest garden style country store I've ever seen. I walked around for an hour just soaking it in, then bought a begonia.

I posted several weeks ago about bulk top soil that I purchased. I was disappointed about the amount of debris in it. I screened it to remove same. Mr. Hafner made a generous offer of 5 free bags of premium top soil at no charge to ease my pain. I picked it up. I have used it previously. That time I poured it from bag onto lawn and raked. I was disappointed then with all of the debris in it. This year, while crawling around pulling weeds I notice what looked like peat moss in the lawn, at the base of the grass blades on top of the soil. I screened two of the bags that I just got. Pictures are attached. The bucket is from screening one bag. No stones, but, as advertised, organic debris, like sticks, and peat moss. Some of the peat moss is almost in almost a web form. I was glad it screened out. The soil itself seems perfect to grow new grass; it is light and airy and I do not think it will pack down like bulk soil does (which I expected). Also I was at a big box store and looked at closeout, premium top soil on close out. Some of the bags were ripped. Their soil was awful, lots of clay in it. Chuck's is much better. Now I know that for me to be happy with top soil I have to screen it. You may be perfectly happy without doing so. I am glad that Chuck Hafners is close by. I will continue to be a regular customer; the vegetables this summer were awesome, and often priced well below the local grocery stores.THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE REVIEW I POSTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. As I said then, I continue to be a customer at Hafners. Since I posted that review Hafners has, I believe, a new supplier for garden soil. For sure the packaging is different. I bought some of the newer product. It is virtually free of rocks and has only the smallest amount of wood bits. It is a much, much better product.

Very disappointed. We spent over $3000 at Haefners this summer. We planted a dogwood that instantly got torched by the June hot spell. We planted all our other trees from Haefners and they are thriving. I called and they will only give 50% back. Absolute insanity the tree died within a week of having it. Every other nursery offers a year warranty. Haefners lost our business and I will not recommend to friends.
