Magnolia Garden Center — Attraction in Seattle

Our neighbor recommended this place for reasonable prices and good service. I have called them in the past and bought a blueberry bush there which continues to thrive. Today we went to browse and I found a rose full of buds about 4-feet tall for under $40. What a steal! But I am feeling lazy, so didn't buy it. Also tempted by a one gallon fuchsia for $10.

They have a great gift shop where my wife bought some cute representations of birds to put among our house plants. There are fountains with the lovely sound of flowing water and delightful visual design. We just don't have a good place for one in our small house, There is a huge selection of greeting cards and we bought two that were appropriate for current family events. We shared others that were funny, laughing out loud.

It's actually a great gift shop which I will keep in mind. My wife decided to buy a Tiffany inspired glass mosaic table, but it had a scratch. The clerk took our number and will have the manager call us Monday with information whether they can get another one for us or offer a discount on the one with the scratch. That's good service!

As a guy accustomed to buy plants at Lowe's or Home Depot, I learned to consider going out of the way to Magnolia Garden Supply first for better selection and better prices. Too bad I didn't think to take pictures. We really...

Thank you Sandra for helping and giving me so much advice about a plant species I’m new with, especially because I stumbled in 30 minutes before closing. All of the staff that I have interacted with have been so patient and friendly.

Also Kelly repotted 6 plants I brought in and did such a nice job. She saved the gravel from before and added moss to three of them that did not have covering (there was some moss that previously had died) and it just looks so good thank you.

Besides that, the accessibility and parking are so easy in this neighborhood. If I ever moved far away, I would definitely have this be my go to nursery in the area. It might be a personal preference, but the shopping experience of going to a smaller place like this, versus a bigger place like Swanson’s feels way more relaxing. Some people have mentioned it is expensive but that’s most places are when you live in a city like this.. If you want affordable you’ll have to spring for Home Depot 😭

I was searching for a local monstera for my cousin in Seattle while I’m on the other side of the country. I called up and Jason sprang into action, sending me pictures of the different individual plants they had. He was wildly attentive and so genuinely stoked to make this Christmas present special. The recipient was over the moon, and as a plant junkie, confirmed it was super healthy and gosh darn beautiful. The only downside is that I can’t get plants for myself.... open up a sister store in Virginia and send Jason on...
