Richfield Farms & Garden Center — Attraction in Clifton

I really enjoyed my time until I met Brian. How rude he is to his customers is absolutely unbelievable! The tropical greenhouse person was really great and friendly and super helpful to everyone who walked up to him (I wish I caught his name). When I noticed the elephant ears on the ground were terribly infested with spider mites I gave them back to him and he put them to the side (I'm guessing to treat them). Some were so badly infested the leaves were riddled with holes. My mother kept 3 of the least infested ones with intentions of treating them because she really loved them.

She grabbed a bunch of other stuff and we headed to the check out. She told the cashier about the mites and asked what to do with them and walked away to grab ladybugs from the fridge. The cashier called over Brian who then not only acted like I was an idiot and told me they were watermarks but when I pointed to a cluster of mites on one leaf large enough to be visible to the eye he pushed them to the side looked me in the eyes and said "Don't buy them".

I said, "I'm not buying them" and my mother had come back by then and told him she was just looking for how to treat them for the bugs. He went and got her insecticide.

Honestly if it was me I would have left and not spent almost $200 there. Although I liked the greenhouse staff I honestly won't go back there. You don't want me to buy your plants Brian? Now I won't. I was planning on coming back with my kids as I write a blog about plants and collect them myself. I also feature nurseries and shops on my social media of where to go and what places to avoid so I typically spend a lot of time around plants and plant people.

Thanks for ruining a perfectly happy nursery trip with my mom and sister!

If you do go here, don't dare ask for help or advice. Also, make sure you treat your plants and keep them isolated from other plants as it wasn't only the elephant ears...

We've been coming to this farm for years. Not only do they have a wide selection of shrubbery trees and produce, but they also have live animals in the back with the kids can see such as donkeys chickens and rabbits! So this is a great place to bring your kids especially for free. (Currently these are no longer here. Feb 2024)

When you come here there is some street parking directly out front, but you can also park in their brick-paved lot to the left of the building. Also by the inside parking, are bricks & pavers that you can purchase.

My recommendation if you're going to buy shrubs for privacy here, is to measure the height you want them to be unless you're willing to wait for them to grow to that height, because you can purchase taller ones for a higher price.

The next time you want to buy some produce, why not come here and purchase it directly from the farm instead?

Between the greenhouses and the barn is a soda machine, however you can also buy some cold drinks like iced tea inside where you make your purchases. in those greenhouses, by the way, is a large selection of flowers and plants you can buy. So feel free to browse them while...

I paid $165 for their landscape design, and although they technically fulfuilled what they promised, what I received for that money was much less than I expected. They took a picture of our front lawn and drew in their suggestions. When we arrived they showed us this photo and walked us around the nursery to look at each individual plant. There was no adequate way to visualize what these plants would look like next to to each other. Since we had an appointment, they should have taken the time to put the plants (there were only 6 in our design) next to each other with an alternative or two near by. It was also difficult to get in touch with anyone about setting up an appointment (after we had already paid). If you are looking for someone to really help you figure out your landscaping this is not the place for you. In the end we didn't buy the plants at Richfield Farms or...
