Poor service, I have been coming to this place for a while now. Unfortunately I missed my birthday month but it has not even been a full month after. The young lady at the counter did not want to honor it. I called spoke with someone and she said some honor some don’t. I said ok. Went home thought about it called other plant stores, Blessings , Tall Plants none in stock. Decided to go by Home Depot and low n behold they had the same exact plant BIGGER for lesser price. I am done with Buchanan’s atp. I returned the plant and will no longer be a customer.
Really terrific nursery with an excellent selection of beautiful plants and good prices. The staff is what really sets Buchanan’s apart however. Everyone at this business is so knowledgeable, helpful, and cheerful, and their customer service is amazing. It’s getting harder and harder to find places today that really feel like they value your business, and refreshing to find businesses that really get it right. Thank you for everything!
The prices are bananas. Saw a $60 Monstera that Home Depot had for $30. Same size. Same quality. The $75 ZZ 10” was enough to make me bail without a purchase. Yikes! Seems to have a great selection and kind team members, though.
Good parking. Lots of variety. The staff is super helpful. One garden center staff stopped me today bc they noticed most of my cart was native plants for our area but that one variety of coneflower grew better in the Texas Hill Country than in Houston. It was great. They saved me from buying a plant that likely wouldn't have survived in my care. I wish the information cards on the plants have more information, but everything is organized well and easy to look up or ask someone about. I've called about fertilizer options for my live oak, and they were great on the phone, too.
I’ve been a loyal customer of this nursery for years, and they continue to impress me every single season. Their plants are always healthy, vibrant, and beautifully cared for—truly the best selection you’ll find anywhere. Come Christmas, their trees are unmatched: fresh, fragrant, and long-lasting, the kind that make your whole home feel festive. What really sets this place apart, though, is the customer service. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in helping you find exactly what you need. Whether I’m choosing seasonal flowers or hunting for the perfect Christmas tree, they go above and beyond every time. A wonderful local business that I’m grateful to support. Highly recommend!
