The Good Earth Garden Center

Stopped in for the first time today after having driven past it countless time. This place is great. Large selection, reasonable prices, impeccable customer service.

Wondered if anyone else has experienced this. We decided to get a yard of soil to start our planter beds for the season. Decided to try here. We planned to get their super soil (compost mix) and started talking to the staff at the register. They asked what we planned to use for, and noted that super soil was recommended for flowers and plants only, not fruit and vegetables, as it is known to contain microplastics in the “waste mix”. They recommended their “blended” compost mix that’s ready for immediate use, and is a proprietary mix and did not contain plastics/waste. Sadly, we had numerous plastic pieces (like snack wrappers, shredded plastic fast food cups, pieces of plastic bags, and a whole crumpled water bottle), and the mix also seemed to contain a lot of clay (or large chunks of some pliable material with a clay like texture). We still looking forward to growing this season but will be curious to see how the soil compares to compost we got (at another place) last year.

Expansive nursery with a huge variety of plants. 💐🌲🌿 The staff are so friendly and helpful. It is definitely a little pricey but they have everything you could ever need for gardening and it's fun just to visit.. The decorating is meticulous, my favorite part was the waterfall pond and stone bridge.. Clean, private bathrooms.
