Southwood Landscape and Garden Center — Attraction in Tulsa

I came in today as a totally clueless plant owner with my 1 year old. Being a tired mom this week, I showed up without much of a vision but knew I wanted house plants to bring life to the interior of my living room. I browsed for about 10-15 minutes staring at all the gorgeous plants without a clue where to start and an employee named Alex asked how I was doing and if I needed help. Of course I said yes, and she SO KINDLY spent over 25 minutes assisting me, picking out plants, helping me with planters, asking about the style I prefer, etc. She carried all my plants around for me and set them on the front counter as I lugged around a heavy baby. I just wanted to hop on here and say thank you to Alex for being so kind, patient, and hospitable. I probably would have left the store empty handed if she hadn’t offered to help me. Ended up buying 6 super cute plants and pots for my mantle! I loved their selection. They had something for every personality type and plant lover, I could tell. It was my first time in and it...

This used to be my go to nursery, but lately the quality and customer service has failed me. They were having a huge 50% off sale this weekend. I asked an employee which grasses were marked down and she said, "Idk some of them are some aren't. Guess I'm not much help, sorry." Not helpful at all. I've also noticed mealybugs on their indoor plants for weeks. I told an employee, but they didn't seem to care. It's now turned into an infestation and I left this weekend without any indoor plants because I couldn't find one without signs of mealybugs. Their indoor section is now infested, especially the succulents. The plants I've purchased from them a couple of weeks ago are now infested as well. I asked a lady at the "solutions" desk for help since Neem isn't working. She told me to use something with Spinosad, which after researching, won't work. Giving me incorrect info on an issue that started at the nursery is the last straw for me. I wouldn't buy your house plants here unless you want an...

Great place! I can't imagine what it must look like in spring. Being centered, for the most part, around mid-town Tulsa, I rarely get so far south. Definitely worth the gas! Beautiful selection of plants even in December. So many poinsettias in colors I've never seen. My photos don't do justice to the orange or fuschia ones. Full selection of home goods. The only thing I'd subtract points for is the lack of tool selection. I understand a garden center selling Stihl products. I highly support it. But why have a tiny section with some edger parts when Stihl has an amazing line of hand pruners and tools? Use a few more feet of display shelving and offer more than 6 or so cutting tools, like extending loppers and Stihl bypass sheers and specialty stuff like a rose thorn stripper. Please. Other than that, the selection, even off season was fantastic. The you could pretty much decorate your whole house for the holidays...
