Workshops, entertainment, and complimentary refreshments—such as hot dogs and ice cream—create a family-friendly atmosphere that brings neighbors together and enhances the shopping experience.

Store Layout and Facilities (Positive)

Recent renovations have resulted in an airy, well-lit greenhouse with clear signage and dedicated sections for different plant types. Customers report that organized displays and wide aisles simplify browsing, while designated seating areas and refreshment stands add convenience during events.

Plant Quality and Health (Positive)

Visitors consistently remark on the vigor and health of plants at Glick’s. Well-maintained stock—watered and cared for on site—translates to robust growth once transplanted at home. Many attribute their own gardening successes to the initial quality of plants purchased at Glick’s.

Potential Drawbacks (Mixed)

While most feedback is positive, a minority of shoppers mention that certain perennials, particularly smaller specimens, can cost more than expected.

However, these customers often acknowledge that the specialized selection and staff support at Glick’s Greenhouse offer added value not found elsewhere.
