Wayside Gardens’ products are predictably healthy and garden ready. Wayside Gardens’ products always arrive at my door in good condition. Even in hot weather after transport across half the country all the plants need is a little fresh air and a drink of water. Their quality meets or exceeds that of any local nursery.

No updates, 1/2 of the plants did not survive No shipping updates, even after an email inquiry; The order was split into two deliveries, and two charges. The first delivery was almost dead on arrival, the second is holding on. My mother in law felt bad about telling me this gift had died, or I would have contacted Wayside. She tried very hard to save the plants, but they didn't live. Sadly, of course, it was the more expensive part of the order. I just think I wouldn't order again given that, and the lack of communication after purchase.

Discerning tastes! Wayside Gardens always has quality stock with good, strong root systems. After planting, in one week you are amazed how the plants have grown (with a little help of liquid fertilizer at planting time). This year, I purchased several "combos" (during "free shipping"events), designed for container gardening. They were shipped a month ago, and they are now three (3) times larger and blooming profusely! I have a customized look, making my property unique, versus what the big name store offers. Choose/trust Wayside for providing selections you can't find elsewhere, as well as good customer service!

Received a UPS scam phishing email from… Received a UPS scam phishing email from Waysidegardens.com stating that I have to pay a $1.95 to receive a package. We didn't order anything from this sham company, it's an obvious scam and people should be wary of receiving these types of emails. If you need verification you should contact UPS directly and not through any scam or third party websites.

Do not order from this company.... I have ordered from other mail order garden supply stores and this was absolutely the worst experience. Plant packaged poorly, 3 arrived dead, one badly broken and with mildew. Another died during the summer. Out of 10 plants ordered, only a Hibiscus Purple Pillar seems to be doing okay. When I called to request replacement or refund, they were very uncooperative and pretended not to understand what I was requesting. This spring will tell whether any of their plants survived our relatively mild winter here in the Chicago area. Awful product, horrible customer service. Never again. Stay away.
