Wilmore Nurseries Garden Center & Greenhouse

Not as big as many of the other nurseries but still a pretty good variety of plants. Staff seemed pretty friendly and helpful too.

I have been going here off and on for the past 5 years. I warn you that prices are a bit higher and they will not refund a penny without a receipt. The customer service is not that great either when you are there. The people act either like you aren’t that smart about plants, bothered that you asked for help, or are overwhelmed with customers depending on what day you are there. This is normally my second or third choice when I am looking to purchase plants and I would recommend that this not be your first stop either.

I have been buying my garden plants from Wilmore for 7 years. They do have a great variety and carry a specific tomato plant that I like. I really didn’t have problems with them until I had a problem.
Last year I purchased a cucumber plant after a late snow. The plant didn’t look great but I assumed they would replace it if it died. I went right back with the plant and they refused to replace it but they had no problem selling it to me.
I decided last fall that I really wanted some fruit trees. I went to Wilmore particularly because I assumed that, like most expensive nurseries, that they warranted their trees for a year. It was November when I purchased my already dormant trees. I expressed concern that I couldn’t SEE if the trees were alive and she told me that if they didn’t leaf out in the spring I could bring them back. I also asked her if they would be ok in the freeze that we were expecting and she told me that they were already dormant and they would be fine (I had my doubts but went with her advice and planted them anyway). Of course, this spring, the cherry tree didn’t leaf out at all and the grafted apple lost the two branches that I was the most excited about. I called Wilmore to see what I needed to do to exchange them. I was then told that I had to have a receipt to show that I had purchased a warrantee on the trees. Even after all my questioning when I bought the trees, I was never told that I needed to purchase a warranty. When I finally decided to just take the trees back in to see if they were nicer in person then over the phone. I was called a liar immediately because «all of their people were trained to offer the warranty» and then she also told me that there are no women in the tree department so there was no way I was helped by a woman! I admit I should have held onto the receipt but the tags were still on the trees and I really was hoping that they were nice enough to exchange them. Instead I was called a LIAR and offered NOTHING!
I am extremely disappointed. I will definitely be finding another place to buy my plants.

I really wish I’d read the other reviews before sending business here; however even if I had, I do always try to support the local /​little guy. In any event… We enthusiastically incorporated Wilmore, our closest locally owned nursery, into our plans for large yard. In the past 90 days we purchased from Wimore: several services, a complete compost set up, two rounds of their 4-​bag lawn fertilizer system, and eggs. We also purchased a hummingbird feeder two weeks ago, which leaked profusely. I attempted to exchange the feeder (I didn’t even ask for a refund) but since I no longer had my receipt, they flatly refused. I understand you might be interested in proof of purchase; however, other retailers find ways around this common problem. With such small-​minded customer service policies… we won’t be back. I’ve always had great experiences with Tagawa and after this, would be worth the drive. I will also check out O’Tooles.

Awesome! They have an amazing selection of out door flowers. currents, hops, grapes and other plants I don’t see a good selection of even at Paulino’s. The staff was very friendly. The reason I was there was for a plant terrarium, they were definitely lacking in that department. Overall nice place with a great view, prices run on average $ 1 more than other nurseries.

First time to this nursery and I must say WAY overpriced and very poor customer service! I don’t mind paying more if one actually gets reasonable customer service! I was hoping this would be a go to place for my business and personal needs, but not voting with my dollars there. Karen, a person who identified herself as an office manager, was of little help and basically said they might have the product in stock but we’re too busy to check what had yet to be inventoried. I get many of my customers who wish referrals for their landscaping and planting needs and I will refer them elsewhere!

Wilmore has a decent selection, BUT they are WAY overpriced and their staff if not the most knowledgable or friendly. If you have a problem with a purchase, for goodness sakes you better have your receipt or you are out of luck. Not a fan.

We bought a red maple last fall, on sale, for $ 96. We had it planted and bought the guarantee. The tree died. We went back to ask if we could just have our money refunded and this absolutely awful, rude woman who is the owner (Mrs. Vincent) shouted at my 74 year old husband and yelled, «NO! NO REFUNDS!» My husband said okay, but that we had decided maybe we didn’t want the tree there and asked if we could have the $ 96 in credit for summer flowers. She shouted him down with, «NO! I SAID A TREE OR NOTHING!!!» He tried to tell her that since we had to pay $ 200 last year to have it planted and she wanted to charge us another $ 200 this year, that would be $ 400 in fees to plant a $ 96 tree! He told her his age and that he has a bad back and she shouted, «THEN HAVE A NEIGHBOR DO IT!» and marched away. This woman is unbelievable in rudeness and customer service. She hates her customers and little wonder I hear all the complaints about her that I do from the employees. They act like they are terrified of her, which I can well believe. We have never been treated like that by any owner of a service. She’s just unbelievably awful and as sour and nasty as she can be. I recommend ANYWHERE BUT THIS PLACE because sooner or later you are going to have to deal with this horrific woman and it won’t be pleasant. She just changes the rules as she goes along. Why on earth would it bother HER if we took the $ 96 in credit for flowers instead of another tree? This woman is on some sort of power trip and her customers and employees suffer because of it. Read the other reviews. She comes up constantly in these complaints and the nursery gets awful marks anyway. In my opinion, the stock is always dried out, tipped over and half dead. It’s a messy, chaotic place with a simply terrible woman who I think borders on being sadistic the way she treats her customers. GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! I will NEVER set foot in the place again.

First time at this place. They could definitely use some customer service training. I asked for an opinion and got well I can’t see your patio so I can’t answer your question. Then the same day I had to drive back there to return a broken rake that I bought from there. The two ladies there were not friendly and I would not recommend this place or go back there.

I have been going to Wilmore Nursery for about 6 years. They are a little pricey
but they have an outstanding selection of plants, more than any other in this area.
I have found their employees to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We had
a one hour consult with Len at our house last year and he gave us very good suggestions how to improve our flower gardens and lawn. Also Wilmore Nursery
allows the Dumb Friends League to bring their adoption mobile there
once a month. In February of 2013, we adopted our black lab mix «Dolly» there.
She is a sweetie. This is great place with good people.

THIS IS THE BEST NURSERY IN DENVER. Good prices and very nice people to work with and they have the best plants in town!

This nursery is close to our house and has a great selection. It was my favorite place to buy plants until I had a few encounters with the super pushy and unpleasant woman (owner?) who sometimes works the register. The employees are friendly and informative, and we bought a cherry tree three years ago that is thriving. We tried to buy a $ 12 straw bale just like the ones we’ve bought from Wilmore three years in a row to mulch our garden, with great success. But the woman at the register (owner?) kept pressuring us to buy a $ 50 dehydrated straw product instead, and was angry when we decided to stick with our bale. I’ve often heard her browbeating a customer about his landscape mistakes or scolding an employee. I went back recently and the prices seemed higher than other nurseries. I finally reluctantly decided to drive a little farther to buy my plants.

They have a neat way to organize plants. (i.e. perennials a-​z, annuals a-​z, etc.) They have an excellent organic lawn fertilizer that is hard to locate in the southern part of the metro area. I received excellent customer service from a young man. However, I purchased a large quantity of organic potting soil that was very expensive ($ 29.99) and later during that day, found the same at $ 22.99. I called and asked if they would price match, and i was rudely lectured about price matching, and told «no, but I could return it for a refund». If I hadn’t purchased so many bags, I would have taken the loss, but with only $ 2.00 more, I can have one more 3 cu yards of organic soil. Granted my time is worth something too, but $ 28.00 that I will be saving and the principle of the matter is worth the refund. I am disheartened by the rudeness and their policy. Seems like that they might want happy return customers, instead of unhappy customers with returns. I will get my refund tomorrow and will never shop there again. I will travel far for the organic fertilizer, Alpha One.
I would recommend shopping elsewhere.

One of the better nurseries on the south side of town. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Pay a little more for better quality then what you get at big box stores.

Very convenient in location and have a wide variety of inventory (tools/​accoutrements/​types of plants) but I agree that with few exceptions, they are terribly overpriced. I also agree with the attitude various reviewers noted… I have had some excellent help there but employees are not consistently available. I tend to think they are understaffed and they can get on their high horse about returns or comments that reflect poorly on quality. If you are in the H/​R, Centennial or Littleton area I strongly suggest you check out O’Tooles Garden Center in Littleton. Very nice staff and incredible pricing… got a Japanese maple there for $ 50 when a comparable one was offered at Wilmore for $ 225. Not to mention the one I saw at Wilmore was about 25% dead; they got rather irate when I pointed this out and inquired about a reduction in price.

Plants are extremely overpriced for the same thing you can get at your big box store. There was a sign up for sale plants with a specific UPC code for the sale plant but not a single plant that had that code so you would probably end up taking a plant to the register thinking it was a sale plant and get a nice surprise. Then there wasn’t a nary person available to answer a simple question like that for you available. What few (two) people I actually saw working were yammering with the same two customers my entire visit.
My cashier was friendly enough and I appreciated that.
Also, the other customers there were horribly mannered and parking in walkways where there was no parking spot. If you had a big cart of stuff to wheel out you were blocked and there were plenty of other real car parking spots available.
It was a mad house and all the customers seemed mad and should have stayed at their houses.
Not a pleasant visit and I visit plenty of greenhouse/​nurseries where things are NOT like this place.
Adiós amoebas.

This nursery has wonderful plants and a great selection (although over-​priced) but the owner was incredibly rude to me (for no reason; I was in no way curt, short, rude to her) when I was in there today. I kept trying to ignore her overt rudeness, thinking at 1^st maybe I misread her, but she was rude to me the entire time I was there. Even though I’d picked out a really nice houseplant, I left it at the register due to her rudeness.

This business is owned by a group of cantankerous, cranky, rude people, and I’ve had enough of their attitude. There are just too many other places to go and I’m done. I had been a customer for many years, but no longer.
I had purchased a trumpet vine for a trellis. The plant died, inexplicably. (I didn’t have trouble with their plants, so this was unusual.) I took it back, but decided I wanted to buy the next size up so I didn’t have to wait for the vine to look fuller.
The middle-​aged woman at the register — part of the family or management that I had seen many times before — insisted that I get only the exact replacement plant. I told her I wanted the same vine, but I’d pay the difference to get a larger one. She loudly proclaimed the terms of their replacements with a lot of exasperation — like it was my fault. Several people were now in line behind me. I tried to pleasantly tell her I was perfectly willing to pay the difference for the larger plant, so this was a win-​win. She finally got exasperated with me and yelled out that she would do it «get me out of there.» She was just as rude as could be.
I used to buy several hundreds of dollars worth of plants and bushes there each year, but I’ll take my business elsewhere, thank you. This type of humiliating experience can only be experienced once. Now I’m shopping at their competition, and gladly.

Great nursery that has everything. The people that work there know their stuff and can explain it to you so that you can understand. They help you with what grows best with your lawn conditions and let you know which plants work well together.
They also have a kick-​ass Easter egg hunt for kids!
