Quality First
Great plants of unusual varieties not available elsewhere. Sometimes wish there were larger sizes but they do ship quality.

I was very pleased with the shipment of plants received from Wayside Gardens that arrived in the spring. All plants were in good condition and has continued to thrive. Thank you

All the plants and roots they sent (worth more than $80) were in bad shape and nothing survived. Bad customer service too, asked me to send pictures of plants and never followed up again. I had lots of experiences buying plants/bulbs/Rhizomes online ( Eden Brothers, Hirt’s Garden, Walmart, Homedepot) and Wayside is no comparison to the rest..

I have had only good results with Wayside Gardens. No problems at all.
By Carolyn D.
Wayside Gardens is one of a kind! They offer unusual plants along with familiar ones. They ship healthy plants carefully, and their plants thrive in my garden. I have never had a single complaint. I save the catalogs they send because there's lots of information about plants and their needs, advice for planting and general care, all excellent! They are the best I've known.
