Prospect Hill Garden Center Reviews

We started going to Prospect Hill three or four years ago. Their beautiful trees, shrubs and perennials really do, Make every normal day abnormally beautiful! We have bought seeds, bulbs, started vegetable plants, tons of flowers and flowering trees and Last year our seven year old daughter got a little digital camera. She loved taking pictures of magnolia and red bud trees. Naturally we went to Prospect Hill and she picked two redbuds out and one magnolia. This year they are the healthiest happiest little (growing fast) trees you have ever seen. They lit up like Christmas in early spring. We have many rose plants from Prospect and many varieties of flowering perennial bushes and plants. From the time Wisconsin thaws until the next winter there is something in bloom in our yard from Prospect Hill.

Their hanging baskets are amazing. They can seem pricy but they are worth every penny (you need to water them every day). People love them. Not sure exactly how they do it with the hanging baskets but it is like the flowers are super charged on plant adrenalin flowering bigger and brighter all summer.

It used to seem like you could go to the big hardware stores and find a great plant or two at a value. Over the last half dozen years it feels like there are two entirely different sub species of the same plants for sale and Prospect Hills are superior in every regard. Perennials that grow back bigger and better every year are awesome. We add instead of replace horticulture with Prospect Hill plants.

Our children look forward to going to Prospect Hill for pumpkins and fall decorations too. The children also love to feed the llama and goats in the little petting zoo: back right from where you walk in. They have the best garden tools if you are willing to invest in a great weed puller or the perfect transplanting shovel. The stainless steel shovel with the colorful looped handles is far and away they best shovel for planting. Buy one, you ll see, it just is.

Being growers of great plants right here in Wisconsin these people just get it. The owners seem like the most decent down to earth people and everyone working knows plants or gets you someone who does fast when you have questions. They sell the best shovel because that s what they want to use, tools that do the job and make it easy. Their people in the yard or green house have helped me get grass to finally grow on the shady side of the house, to establish great plants in perpetual shade and plants that can grow in an area of our lawn that floods, all plants that truly add to our landscape.

We love plants and we LOVE Prospect Hill.

Highest recommendation!

Never seen this place so Busy!
I can t believe how busy Mother s Day had been. Poor guys must have had allll the amazing blooming flowers bought two weeks ago.... Guess we re just gonna have to test our blooming skills the the good ones they had left.
Glad to see the local businesses are doing well and Handling the longest check out line ever. lol thank you ladies for your helpful tips on growing plants.

Great place good plants and trees and for the kids a small petting zoo like thing in back

Wide variety of plants to consider. Some novelty items for the yard as well.

Very nice. Very helpful helping me find some plants for landscaping. Walking in you can just see the care. Will definitely be going back.

Serious problem with phone service, but in person is fine.

They have some beautiful plants! Most at a reasonable price.

Overall it was not what I was expecting. The hayride was very short the corn maze was very short and there are not a lot of games for kids. They had five games. They did have some very nice pumpkins though. The Elegant Farmer is way better.

We got mulch here for my mother in law for a good price. Alice came along and found a tree for her yard. The staff was very helpful.

Very wide selection of all kinds of flowers, plants, arrangements. VERY clean, nice areas to walk from one section to another. There is a small petting zoo in back- goats and a llama. The staff is very knowledgeable, and very patient. The lady I asked for help was obviously very busy, but dropped everything to show me a plant I asked about. There was also a nice man there. didn't get either's name, but they were both awesome. I will go back .
As for the negative reviews, it seems these people thought they were going to a petting zoo or pumpkin farm. It's a nursery with the petting zoo being a small extra.
:)

I have been coming to Prospect Hill Nursery for years. Their prices and selection are better than other nurseries in southeastern Wisconsin and their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I love coming to Prospect for unusual trees and shrubs. Plus their stock almost always has a strong root system unlike what you'll find at any big box store. This place is my happy place!

I've only used them once, but it was at the end of the season (late fall) and I was looking for a yard (bulk) of blended topsoil. They had great soil at a good price when no one else did in my area.

The healthiest flowers around. They really care to do things the right way

More than just the usual plants. Everything looked healthy.

Great green house. Rose Bush was priced fair, but they were even more helpful about getting the rabbits to stop eating them!

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff. Selection is pretty good but not as large as some other local players.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Talked us out of a certain tree for they stated it may not survive the winter on the north side of our lot. They assisted in selecting a hartyer tree... Decent prices too.

Great selection and help by the staff. Much better than any big box store for garden needs.

Kids love this place. Had a blast playing games, having hot chocolate and hot dogs, loved picking out pumpkins! The hay ride and corn maze were so much fun! Love this place!

First time at Prospect Hills and I LOVE it. The hanging baskets r on tables outside and inside AND on lower poles. I'm 5 feet tall and always had to ask someone to follow me around to reach my baskets at other places which I felt I had to hurry but not here. Someone was thinking. Plus they r reasonably priced and the baskets are beautiful. Will definitely come here every year. Highly recommend Prospect Hills.

Has nearly all your garden and landscape needs....and if they don't, they help find it.

Great plants for this late on memorial day weekend.

Specialty, dedication, local, and honest. That s the best words for this place. These days it s up to us to better the world. This garden center does it one plant at a time. Support local and support your community.

I work at a garden center north of here. I always stop when I am in the area. Great shrub and perennial selection!

Always great selection of plants. Worth it just to walk through.

Quick and helpful solution to a plant fungus problem. Did not try to steer me to the most expensive solution. Nan was great and so was Dan.

We just LOVE Prospect Hill Gardens! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shop Local!! PS- go for the Christmas Trees, purchase the stand. You will not regret it!

Past flowering annual plants with brown stems and leaves sold at prime prices.
If not pulling a cart full of merchandise, little attention is paid to questions of any customer.
Used to be a go to place for my family and friends to get advice on new items. Not so much anymore. Sorry to see it end.

We find this a convenient place to pick up firewood.

There not much left. Lots of baskets. Hardly any flats of flowers.

Love this place! Great plants and super knowledgeable staff!

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Prices a little higher than the Big Box stores, but worth the trip. They have a wide variety of annuals and perennials, and botanists on staff who can answer your questions.

Professional people ...much knowledge .. only place to find caster bean

Very friendly and helpful staff, and a great selection of shrubs and plants at reasonable prices!

I called to find out if they had a specific plant in the stock and the lady on the phone acted as if I was inconveniencing her. When she was able to confirm they did have the plant and I asked how much it she said she would have to look in the computer again and told me for a second time to, "come on out and take a peek" and then disconnected the phone. FYI some people don't want to unnecessarily go to stores during this time.
