Gowanus Nursery

Its such a bummer to see the few negative reviews. My experience here yesterday was fantastic. Kristin (maybe Christine 😅) was so kind and helpful! They have such great plants and its fun to walk through. Its like a little nature walk through a Brooklyn jungle 🌲🌳🌲 I only wish they had more prayer plants! But I did find a great, healthy Japanese Painted Fern.

After visiting four different plant nurseries upstate, we have finally found our favorite verdant Japanese Maple tree here in the city! Beautiful plant collection! Wish I live closer so I can take a peek once a while.

I was so sad to see this place gone. One of my favorite spots for sure. I have seen no other place that is so full of hidden corners. It was itself a beautiful garden.

This place is a gem, a place I come back to year after year. The owner has spent literally hours helping me find the right plants for my space - interesting, dynamic, unusual, and complimentary to each other - while encouraging my excitement and curiosity as a novice gardener. 10/10 no notes.

The place looks lovely and the plants seem beautiful, but after a long trek with my dog I was surprised with a “no dogs allowed sign”. Since it’s outdoors, I didn’t anticipate it. I I wish they stated that on their website. I also tried to make contact with whoever was inside, but they wouldn’t even come to the door, so it was a double disappointment for me :(

Been going here regularly the last 2 years and has become my main gardening store! Great selection of everything you’d want for a backyard vegetable + herb garden. My only recommendation is to not buy the soil as it’s crazy overpriced but the plants are very reasonably priced.

The owner literally threw coffee on me after my dog peed a little in the gravel outside. Bummer too because, I was slated to purchase a bunch of plants for my house. Thought about pressing charges, but decided the lady must have been having a bad day. Ended up going to Chelsea garden center which had a better selection, better prices, and nicer staff. They even gave my dog a treat!

The owner is a sadist. After she entertained multiple email exchanges and visits to see her, after sending her photos of our space, after creating a board on Pinterest at her direction, what did we get from this woman? NOTHING. Not even the courtesy of a response to our email begging her to tell us if she didn't want to design our garden. If you don't want your beautiful garden poisoned by this egoist's attitude, go somewhere, anywhere, else.
