Behnke's is phenomenal. We've been going here for years, and have always been impressed with their variety-- fruit trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, water plants, the list goes on. And the people who work here are so friendly and knowledgeable. It can be crazy on that first nice weekend in the sp...
Super large collection. It's so amazing. I take our kid there as a conservatory, and they even have a kid's corner!
Everything that a gardner would want and need. Knowledgeable staff about plants, herbs, soil and gardening. Huge inventory of live plants, trees, seeds and garden tools.
A bit pricey, but by far the best selection of any nursery around, this place is huge and it's a fun and interesting place to go to. Usually have good customer service.
Very good nursery, large collection of plants, and very helpful staff.
I am so sorry to hear they are closing! This is my favorite place to shop for plants. They have such an extensive variety.
So big you'll have to visit a couple times to see it all. Love this place. Everything you could need.
I bought two sets of orchids from here, and they are absolutely stunning even two years later. Carol is the best, and the nursery itself has loads of events for everyone to enjoy.
I always find what i want here with the assistance of their superb customer service. My wife gets angry at me when i spend sometimes up to an hour looking at stuff for the yard. I can't help they have such a great environment to shop. Im never pressured into buying something i do not need or want. ...
It is the go-to nursery in the MD/DC area by far! Their selection of plants, flowers, trees, and other related items are supurb! Their staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful. I wouldn't want to go any other place for my gardening needs!
It's great. The people are friendly professional and knowledgeable.
I cant believe they are closing! I make my pilgrimage from Sykesville to shop here, my mother stops by on her way to visit from Pennsylvannia. This is one of the best nurseries I have found. We are absolutely devastated!
Great selection, fun store, friendly knowledgable staff, and the prices can't be beat. I come here for the houseplants section which is always stocked with gorgeous healthy specimens. I almost always find an unusual plant species or cultivar to take home too!
I drive here several times a year from Baltimore. It's well worth it.
Behnke Nurseries is one of the best know and established in the region. If you are looking for a primer gardiners paradise be sure to visit. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Garden tool cleaning and shapening is shown in photo.
Probably the best nursery in the MD-DC area. They always have many more options than other nurseries (e.g. Good Earth, American Plant, etc.). Prices are competitive with other local nurseries. Staff is VERY helpful- ask a question and they will have a good answer. If you are looking for a particular...
Excellent selection of plants, variety is above all other nurseries and hardscaping with expert staff to assist with selection and advice on how to care for plants or nurse them back to good health.
The person who assisted us gave us all the information we needed for a community project. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a place to learn how to start a garden.
I had heard so many great things about this place and it didn't disappoint me at all. The employee here are very helpful and courteous and would answer my questions without hesitation. The prices are very reasonable and am absolutely pumped about my new baby plants. Would highly recommend this place...
Never disappointed when I come here, was looking for some nice indoor plants and they had an ample selection AND unique plants I haven t seen at other places!
Best nursery by far in the DC area! Highly recommend this store for all of your garden needs. Would give it more stars if I could.
I have to drive over from NW DC, but it's worth the time for the helpful staff, wide selection, and good prices.
Very friendly staff and such a big selection! Wish I would have found this place sooner
Just heard as well that Behnke's is closing. I just started coming here for about 2 years and they are seriously the best nursery I've ever been to! I always call this plant Disney world because it is so magical. Even the last time I came I felt so jittery (as if I had a lot of coffee and even thoug...
I love Behnke! They always have classes going on and different events. I really had a beautiful time at the annual orchid show last year. The selection and the tour was amazing. I will say that their orchid selection is pretty boring consistenting mainly, and only, of Phalaenopsis. I've haven't gone...
Behnke's has lots of new and pretty pots some of the earth tone ones are our favorites. Spring is around the corner so the seeds are in for the spring now.
Had an amazing experience until I ran into a behnke employee name carol allen asked for help and she was very rude and disrespectful. Most everyone at behnke is amazing but having people that work for the company like her hurts the company more than helps.
The largest and most amazing nursery in the region!
So sorry that it is closing. Great selections and great staff. Has been my "go to" place for 31 years.
Incredible nursery. Every flowering plant, shrub, and tree you can imagine in indoor greenhouse and outdoor lot. Exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful staff. Be sure to check out the bonsai. Ample parking.
With a local reputation as the Tiffany's of nurseries, Behnke's has served the area for decades. Alas, despite its high prices or, perhaps, because of them, this establishment is unfortunately due to close permanently next year. This location always had a vast selection of ornamentals and vegetables...
This garden nursery is very racist and very rude. I was here on Friday and it was my first time shopping. I had asked a lady to help me with directions with where plants are located her name was Becky T from customer service, she told me This is America speak English! And then the next representat...
I went to participate in the auction. It was very interesting.
Update: After emailing Behnke's president , I was contacted by by the nursery manager, who was appalled at the oversight. She could not find the original order (doesn't Teleflora confirm the order is received by the fulfilling florist? No?) and sent a beautiful arrangement at no charge with a handw...
Great place to shop for Christmas plants, and trees! Today it is very colorful with all kinds of poinsettias and nice smell of Frasier trees. It feels like Christmas!
The plants from Behnke's are always healthy and grow beautifully, the selection is impressive, and the staff are incredibly attentive. I once had an issue with a sale, and Stephanie went truly above and beyond to ensure that the problem was resolved and that we were happy with the result. This is th...
This is the place to go in the DC area for succulents and bonsai (and succulent bonsai). Their succulents are tucked away st one if the ends of the nursery so ask an employee for directions if you need to because it is so worth it. They have an outstanding selection at any given time and the invento...
very good selection of plants. bonsai, water plants, outdoor and indoor plants, citrus trees, cacti and succulents...
This is the best nursery in the area. Behnke's Beltsville spans acres, and they have any plant you can name. I go here for native plants (MD Coastal Plain), and have had much success with all their plants. I've bought herbs, hostas, and big bushes here. I've also admired their selection of trees and...
Great selection of flowers that will last!!!! Every flower I have purchased looks amazing, and I highly recommend this nursery. The staff are knowledgeable, and very friendly.
Lots of people there ready to help in any problem or question you may have. My son and I went in to get some seeds to plant some vegetables. Just about every person we past by was asking if we need help with anything. They are a very knowlagable group of people. Some prices maybe slightly higher tha...
Great place to buy plants and garden supplies. Very knowledgeable staff, as well. Too bad it closed.
Plants are well taken care of and abundant. Staff is knowledgable and friendly ...except if you walk in 5 minutes before they close. I wish they sent out coupons and I signed up as a member but don't get any emails or mail :-/
Good selection, knowledgeable staff, and environmentally conscious purchasing practices.
The best garden store in the DC Metro area. I go to Behnke's not only for the beautiful healthy plants and plant variety but for the gardening advice from the expert staff that works there. They answer even the most complex questions about all aspects of gardening and on any plant for the garden tha...
Amazing plant nursery with incredibly knowledgeable staff and the best product
I like this Store. They have experts in anything you can think of. They are more expensive than say, Costco, but they are great. Their vegetable plant selection is the best in town and a fair price. Selection is huge! Very knowledgeable about lawns too! One star off for prices.
You can sign u...
How lucky are the locals (or students) or visitors (like me) to be able to walk thru a priceless collection of art. Really big names are represented here. Come and pretend you own the place, and you will be reminded of what you have forgotten. So much fun! .....and it's free!
Called asking for bonsai. Showed up. Blown away by the selection. They have every plant you can imagine. Every supply. They staff is tremendous. This place in a gardener's oasis.
I moved to Beltsville 55 years ago. Only a few businesses in the area and along the US 1 corridor in and around the area was Behnke's nursery. It was my spring garden pilgrimage for every one of the 50 years I have been married. It was a garden oasis that lasted for generations. I feel like an old f...
They will pretty much have everything you need, but be ready to pay top dollar. Their selection is great and the quality of the plants are all excellent. I can't ever get out of there without spending over $100 on just plants.
Would rate Behnke Nursery at zero stars, if possible. As part of two separate Saturday visits, purchased nearly $2,000 worth of plants and planting services. Thereafter, dealt with terrible and somewhat non-responsive customer service when dealing with the single individual responsible for arrangi...
Staff is highly knowledgeable and ready to assist !
Last day for business was 6/16, had shopped there 34 years. Will be missed.
Sadly Behnke's officially closed for good June 15, 2019. Long standing family run business is no longer. As a life long PG County resident tough losing an iconic business tough.
