I love this Plant Nursery. I make sure to visit this place at least once in a year. I really love how beautifully this place is set up , its so pleasant , calm, peaceful, creative & colorful. They have wide selection of plants along with a great selection of pots and some plant accessories. I have bought plants belonging to Alocasia family when I was very new to plant care and was not able to protect themfor long.The prices at this place are definitely expensive then rest of the garden centers. You can easily find most commonly grown indoor plants like zz, monstera, philodendrons, figs, ficus , snake plant, cactus , orchids and so on for a cheaper price at places like home depot , walmart andLowes.If you are looking for more varieties andsome rare plants , sure you can find someuncommon plants which are really gorgeous and it comes to ones own interest if you would like to spend that kind of money or not. But for sure I would highly recommend the plant lovers to visit this place at least once.I only wish that they rethink about their prices and make it more reasonable.

Magical garden center. Great selection of house plants and pots. Fun to just walk around and learn and get inspired. Staff is very knowledgeable. I have bought many house plants here.

They had 50% off trees and I impulse bought a giant Japanese maple with no plans on how to get it home lol. Sebastian helped get it in my car and fully strapped it in and it didn’t budge. Super super appreciative of his help. And the woman who held my dogs’ leashes while we figured it out. Thank you!! 11/10 would buy another giant tree here again.

We are obsessed with Primex! You HAVE to have Tom their garden coach come to your home and give a consultation - SO worth the money, he is so knowledgeable and helps you utilize what you already have plus gives you ideas for new . He made so many recommendations for things we can do today that will Make a big difference and don’t cost a dime, plus tons of recommendations for a phased approach over the next few years as we add to our garden. Everyone at Primex is amazing and their plants are amazing quality. 10/10!!

Love the vibrant color-pop for spring, especially Easter. Started in the winter, took Steven's advice, followed through in the winter. I love 💘 the season change...

The shop itself is very resourceful and wonderful and majority of the staff are incredibly sweet. I do not typically leave reviews, however, while checking out, Jamie assisted me at the register and for reasons unknown seemed to have an attitude directed towards me. Either for not counting my multiple items in advance or not making my payment as swiftly as she may have preferred. She will deny this comment I’m sure and that is to be expected of someone who does not take ownership in their subtle energy shifts toward another. It is unfortunate to experience this and I hold no Ill will but would like to also address that it was indeed noticed. Overall the shop is wonderful, but as a customer, please advocate for yourselves and request checkout from a different employee should you experience something similarly here or in any other establishment. Happy gardening!

Stopped at Primex while visiting a friend and was impressed with their overall selection of plants (indoor and outdoor), pots, soils, nutrients and gardening tools and decor. Their prices are a bit higher then other nurseries and I noticed some inconsistencies on price tags where the same exact plant was priced higher on some pots than others. Also, I found the same size plants in regular pots for $5-$10 less then if they were planted in a hanging basket and since most people will be repotting into their own pots you can save a lot of money buying them in standard pots vs hanging baskets.I didn’t have much interaction with the staff as I didn’t have any questions but the girl at the register was friendly and signed me up for a discount on my next purchase.Great selection, great displays and you’ll find some rare hard to find plants stocked here…..they just may be a bit more expensive then other garden centers.

My plant people! Listen up! You have to visit this nursery. These photos don't do the justice. Great selection of seasonal, nice green, all kind of bloomy plants. Nice healthy, large cactus specimens! Nobody has them close to our area.Mini orchids are too cute for words. Large selection of pottery. From huge ones to the little ones for your cactus seedlings.My personal favorite real Italian Terra Cotta round bowl planters.The absolute highlight of my day is the rather large and heavy Golden Barrel Cactus.

Whatever you do, go in with a plan and a budget or else you WILL buy the entire nursery. They have the best selection of plants in the region and the kindest, most helpful employees who are not only patient with my one thousand questions or requests for recommendations… but genuinely happy to answer them! I’ve also gone to them when my garden or plants are unhappy, and they’re super helpful and knowledgeable… often sharing ideas or having me talk to another employee with more specific experience!Some of their plants come with warranties if you buy bumper crop, which we’ve taken advantage of a couple of times ours didn’t make it. We’ve also ordered soil in bulk and had it delivered, had them test our soil, and come out to our property for a consult on the plants around our property! They do. it. all.

A bit far if you live in Philadelphia proper, but well worth the trip if you want to check out and support a legit, genuinely local nursery.Their selection of pottery (especially strawberry pots and glazed saucers) is stellar, the plants are clearly labeled and very healthy, and they have such a wonderful selection of soil types and mediums for any type of garden you’re planning.I’ll be back out again soon ❤️

Primex has the best selection and most knowledgeable staff in the area. Recently, I decided to plant shrubs in front of our house. At Primex, I received expert advice from Michael over a series of visits. He took all the time I needed to walk me through myriad options and select interesting shrubs/perennials that would complement each other. They go well with the Ruby Falls Redbud I bought from Primex in the spring. We're super happy with the result and can't wait to see them grow. Primex offers a lifetime guarantee if you buy with Bumper Crop soil builder, which is a nice bonus.

Very nice selection, with some rare varieties for sale but a little on the pricey side. They go hand in hand though. Plants were of very good quality. No illnesses, bugs or bad looking plants to be found.

Saturday was a busy they for them and for me. Bought over a dozen mums and planted them the same day. Great people working there. Very customer-experience-aware.

Was able to get a home delivery during the pandemic shutdown from Primex. Marshall was helpful and patient on the phone as we talked through options and what I was trying to do. Everything arrived on-time and the results are great! Thank you!!!

This is my go-to garden center. Local and family owned!!!! Buy my bird seed here... Mulch...Several crepe myrtles.. and of course I have to stop by the green house and talk about orchards with Steve....and I usually leave with one new species. He is very informative.

One of my favorite garden centers! I've been coming here for close to 20 years now and they never disappoint! The best selection in plants, herbs, vegetable starts, cacti & more!

Great greenhouses with plenty to look at.I went to Primex specifically because they carry Organic Mechanics soil, but they also have a lot of smaller bags of additives to aerate your soil. Pleasantly surprised by the selection of all things gardening.The staff was kind and knowledgeable. Pleasant experience!

Great place with a good selection. A bit overpriced sometimes, especially for houseplants and gardening supplies. Still, a great place with a good selection of supplies inside the store.For houseplant, they get a wide selection of standards, with the occasional hard-to-find. Good selection of collectable orchids and terrarium plants. They get quite a bit of standard succulents and cacti, and sometimes some unique sansevierias and draceana. I'd like to see more euphorbia varieties and caudex plants, which you'll rarely see.Their landscape selection is really good, and they often stock unique or harder-to-find landscape trees, shrubs, and plants. But those go fast, and you have to grab it when you see it. They are good at keeping a stock of the standards on hand. Again, prices can be a bit above average, but their quality is top. Everything is healthy.The staff are super friendly, especially in the greenhouses. Some of the older office and cash register people inside the store can be gruff or dismissive, but nothing too egregious.Overall, always a top place to stop in the area, with a constant flow of new stuff during the growing season. Winter is very limited.

My children and I went here today. Gardening helps me me relax so I was thrilled to see their wide selection.Lowe's didn't have what was offered here except mum's. Most places don't have much left since fall is approaching. The staff was nice, they greeted you, and offered you help. Most importantly, one woman who assisted me was knowledgeable about what I needed help with! You don't get that at the big box stores. The cost when comparing was just about the same but a wide selection.I will definitely be returning! Can't wait to plant what I brought today.

I’ve been purchasing plants from Primex for decades. They have a beautiful gift shop/garden center and they offer many beautiful and unusual houseplants.The nursery is amazing with a huge variety of species. Kerria Japonica, Blue Atlas Cedar (weeping), Clethra and many other unique plants, shrubs and trees.The customer service is excellent. I’m a garden center crazy person and I highly recommend Primex as a source for all of your greenery and flowers!

Staff were nice and friendly. Parking can be a bit difficult, but no one seemed to mind too much. I was happy to find a succulent and cactus to start out small on the gardening journey.

I had a great first visit to this store! The selection is amazing and prices are reasonable, but what will keep me coming back is the amazing customer service experience. I had my toddler in tow who was less than thrilled to be out shopping. Without skipping a beat an employee helped me checkout and carried my things to my car. Such a small kind gesture makes a huge difference. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have been going to Primex ce but quite standard for a nursery. However, they've completely changed and added to their 'Jungle room ' and now my wife can't wait to go back weekly to see what new additions they add to their expansive plant collection.You can see the care they put into their plants. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful... they've definitely put themselves in the forefront locally. We look forward to going back!
