I have been genuinely impressed with some of our nurseries around here; this one is no different, and another place I would recommend!
Brothers Greenhouse really is all that and a bag of chips!
Independently owned, extensive nursery/greenhouse features a wide variety of healthy plants, flowers, local and tropical, a large variety of trees, vegetables, succulents, herbs, and ground covers. It has a lovely gift shop with fun and unique items, also, supplies you'll need to master your garden! Brothers Greenhouse gives you a lot of inspiration; I know it has us!! Fifteen minutes in, you'll want to buy everything; yes, many unique items are offered!
They offer a variety of workshops and many other fun activities, but one of the most intriguing additions to this lovely nursery is their hobbit house! Yes, a unique and adorable little hobbit house that brings you back in time to middle earth, where hobbits roamed free in The Shire! It is so amazing and looks just like LOTR Hobbit homes!
They have a fantastic, friendly staff, and I can't forget to mention their two beautiful cats roaming the grounds and greeting people. There are so many things to look at, so grab yourself a coffee and a snack (yes, they offer that), take your time, and look through everything!!
Brothers Greenhouse's location is 3200 SW Victory Dr., Port Orchard, Washington. For anyone around here, they are before the Bremerton Airport off of the WA-3 heading towards Belfair. You can see their greenhouses...
Β Β Β Read moreI just visited this nursery for the 1st time. There was a fairly good variety from what I was "able" to see. The covered shopping area is absolutely not disability friendly and even if I wasn't there are areas that are nearly impossible to shop. some of the tables only had 14-16" of walking space between them. and on top of that the floors were so full of larger potted plants that you couldn't reach some of the tables even if you tried. Very few signs with plant descriptions or prices which could be hung from the horizontal poles above tables and easily moved when needed. Instead, you have to pick up every pot to check price or even figure out what some of the plants were. I understand that they propagate their own plants, but some of the rolling racks of plants were still in their "plug" trays with just some empty 3" pots filled with dirt stacked on the end of the rack so I had to pop the plug start out and stick it in the pot myself. These should not even be out on the sales floor until they're actually ready in sales pots. I was so frustrated and worn out trying to shop the covered greenhouse areas that I never even made it to the outdoor shopping areas let alone visit the "famed" Hobbit House! Prices were "okay" given the rate of inflation, but it's doubtful I'll return as difficult as it was...
Β Β Β Read moreA simply amazing nursery with beautiful and healthy plants, shrubs and trees abounding. You know we had to love the Hobbit House. My wife used it as a backdrop to take the best photo of me that's ever been taken. Of course she had to wait until I was ready to come out, and that took awhile.
Other reviews mention the poor customer service. My wife has been here once with a friend, and because of her great experience, she insisted I accompany her for a return visit. She said the woman at the cash register was very friendly on her visit, and I can personally attest that the woman manning the cash register on our visit was just as friendly. And I had questions for the staff watering the various plants' both the young woman, and the young man she deferred to for answering my questions were very friendly and knowledgeable. In fact, the young man told me about the two women who built the Hobbit House themselves three years ago.
Maybe those other negative reviews about the staff proved to be training opportunities for management and staff. Regardless, we had a wonderful visit, bought some great herbs and groundcover, and we will most...
