Wavra Farms & Nursery — Local services in Salem

Shortly before Mother’s Day, we traveled a distance to Wavra Farms and Nursery to purchase 2 lavender topiary trees. I planted them in identical planters with identical soil and drip system by my 2 porch pillars. One is healthy, one turned half dead, dry and brittle. I tried to get them to respond online and there was no response. Today I dug up the half dead one and traveled the distance again, expecting a replacement or a refund. They would not consider either, said I’d had them too long and I had mistreated them by putting them by a glass window or mirror that burned the plant. I was unprepared for such poor customer service, that they would not stand behind their product and I told them I would not be back. I would not recommend this nursery...

Wavra Farms and Nursery is such a lovely place to shop for really cool, unusual and healthy plants. They specialize in bedding plants of all kinds and gorgeous hanging baskets and gifts containers, all expertly designed. Prices are more than reasonable. Another greenhouse has veggies, shade plants and more. You can find many unusual trees, shrubs and perennials in in the well designed display areas.

A special shout-out to Andrew for always going the extra mile to make a gardener happy. Love this...

We walked away with what we wanted at an EXCELLENT price!! $38.99 for a 3 gal. pot for a very healthy bush! We will definitely keep them in mind for our other gardening plant needs. Huge selection here and right around the corner from...
