Description of Work: Chris came to look at our backyard to give a design/plan for flower beds. He was a nice guy, but not prompt with his plan and difficult to get in touch with after the meeting. He only gave a plan for one side of our yard/one flower bed and the cost to plant what he proposed was $8000. He only hand drew in what he proposed into our land survey, not a professional proposal.

I just had a simple question to ask about two products they might offer. In the Angie's List message I asked if they had the items and the price. A quick reply would have sufficed. Replying to my voice message would have worked too. Not sure what happened with the 1 1/2 hours on hold....that just seems like no one was monitoring phones and the system wasn't programmed to offer option to leave voice message if no one could answer after a while. I'm sorry for this result. I had hoped to get some good advice and make a purchase from a local shop. Sad.
Description of Work: Nothing. No response to two Angie's List messages, one on 1-16-14 and second on 2-4-14 and no response to voice message left 2-6-14. Second phone call 2-7-14 was on hold for 1.5 hours (90 minutes) during which a roughly 10-minute advertising message repeated but no option to leave voice message or reach anyone live.

I periodically go there to buy plants. Both the garden center and huge gift shop are delightful. It's big enough that sometimes if someone doesn't know the answer to a question they can freely contact someone who does.

I was looking at other things too. Their place is interesting because they have a nursery and garden area that’s divided. When we go inside there are gift areas where some of it is very mundane like the mulch, chemicals and so forth. Then in another area we can find other things. Then we go into the third inside area. This is the side of the checkout, which is already as big as some stores. The last area which is the most northerly inside is beautiful all around like a flower shop. We can get things over there. It's always like Christmas. It' feels like a wonderland. It's just very, very pretty. Pesche's Garden Center and Nursery is a huge place and very nice to go because of the variety.

They know their information and what they are talking about. Majority of the people there are nice. Their prices seem to be fair, they always seem to have a lot of stock and their products are healthy. They will provide you with advice as well.
Description of Work: I have gone here for personal garden supplies. I am in charge of six gardens at our complex here and some are pretty large. I have selected larger trees and bushes.

I have spent a lot of money at Pesche's. They are a floorist and also do outdoor landscaping. They have excellent quality, but they are expensive. If you spend the money, in the long run you are going to do better. They are pretty good. It's always a good experience. For what you get, I believe their price is okay.

I purchase my vegetables from Pesches every year. Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful They also advised me as to plants which would grow well for different areas of my yard. I am planning on building a terraced patio but had questions about it. Their staff discussed it in detail with me, reviewing all of the items I should look out for and telling me what I needed to complete the work.

Pesche's does an amazing job with flowers. My wedding bouquet turned out better than I could have imagined and the centerpieces were gorgeous. Jim, the designer, was really helpful in hammering out the details for what flowers to use based on the vision I had. So many people commented on how beautiful the flowers were. I have also used Pesche's to send out several general bouquets. The ones that I saw looked beautiful. I will continue to use Pesche's for my florist in the future.
Description of Work: I hired Pesche's for my wedding flowers. I have also used them for general bouquets and my family used them for the flowers for my grandmother's funeral.

The plants and shrubs that Pesche's offers are always top quality. You will pay a bit more than at other places, but the quality is well worth it. Pesche's has an extensive selection of garden items and I have never had a time where I couldn't find what I was looking for. I purchase at least 100 annuals each spring for my garden and I have purchased numerous perennials and shrubs from them as well. The personnel at Pesche's are always very quick to help and are knowledgeable about their plants and products.
