Oakdale Greenhouses, LLC — Local services in Charlotte

I used to love shopping for plants at Oakdale but they have dramatically increased their prices. Their prices are way off of what they should be. i stopped by the other day in hopes to bring a plant home, i spotted a fl ghost philodendron. they had two different sizes, the smaller one was nearly $60, and the larger one was $25? they are the exact same plant, and i would know I have a collection of over 250+. The had the smaller one listed as a “mint” fl ghost. a fl ghost philodendron is just a fl ghost philodendron. I also stopped by probably a month ago and got a variegated burle marx bush for $60! when i came back they had the same exact plant that was there when i had bought mine and changed the price to $80. Absolutely ridiculous. They have lots of the same plants listed at completely different prices. Thai constellations are no longer worth what they used to be, alocasia frydek, aurea gageana, odora batik, these plants are not worth the $50 that they’re being sold for here. I also have paid with cash and card here and you’re supposed to get charged more for paying with card (which is understandable because of card fees) but i have also been getting charged those same fees paying with cash. They’re also charging a crazy amount for USED nursery pots, do yourselves a favor and get free ones at lowe’s, just ask a lowe’s or home depot employee and they’ll give you however many you’d like. You are being robbed shopping here

Giving two stars because i used to love coming here. Maybe my review will make a difference,...

Excellent place to find a huge variety of plant species and individuals of each type to choose from. I am extremely happy with the quality and health of the plants I purchased from here. I purchased a Boston Fern here for $20 and it's way healthier than any I have seen at lowes, and it is in a nicer hanging pot, so I don't feel a need to go out and buy another which would have brought the cost of the lowes plant to the same price. The Polka Dot plants were all stunning and vibrant, the Oxalis is healthy and just started blooming, the Calathea are happy and not a damaged leaf in sight. Not to mention the East Indian Box Fern and Party Time are stunners. Happy with everything I purchased from here, and thoroughly impressed with the knowledge and friendliness of the staff. I am hypoglycemic and my sugar crashed while shopping, they expressed immediate concern, made sure I had someone with me, and made it to the car safely as well as offering me things to help my blood sugar. Also! For any who were interested in the pots I posted pictures of, they are from Old Time Pottery. Great selection and cheaper than anywhere else. Now you know where to get your plants and pottery, good...

This is an overdue and honest review. This nursery has a nice variety of plants with reasonable prices. We loved that it is not far from the downtown area where we reside. However, customer service goes a long way for us. On quite a few occasions we have seen and heard comments and gestures from the two ladies that work there, that would come across as if they do not appreciate some of their customers. Unprofessional comments in conversations about other customers is never cool. Then I witnessed one of the ladies act as if a customer was invisible. It was very awkward and I thought wow, if I was that customer l would have put everything down and walked away without looking back. I thought wow what if the shoe were on the other foot. There are too many other nurseries in and around town and online to accept this type of behavior from one. The male, whom I believe may be the owner, has always been nice and courteous. We figure the ladies must be family members for hire. They definitely need some courses in customer service or treating others as they would like...
