Another season, more trash. Updated winter photos attached. Buckets and planters and plastic. No recent windstorms to blame. These have been here for months and are consistent with other photos from other seasons.

ORIGINAL POST:
Great garden center and products, but they let all the trash from their property and the company they lease land to blow in to the open space behind them. They never clean it up. It’s a constant problem, regardless of the season (see photos from multiple periods throughout the year). We’ve talked to them about it a few times, but they never seem to take it that seriously.

Just got a bulk delivery of Garden Mix and it looks fantastic! It’s a combo of roughly 65% sandy loam top soil and 35% compost. When I called they were extremely helpful and friendly. The Garden Mix compost component is made with dairy cow compost, although they said later in the year it is usually the black tea compost. I’m really happy with the texture of this mix, it seems to be screened from large chunks. I had previously ordered a raised bed mix from a landscape company and was very disappointed with the amount of large mulch and some stones that were in it. Very happy to have found quality at Jared’s!

Our jade plant was in desperate need of help. We called a few places to see if they could help provide advice and some TLC. No one seemed to want to help us but Jared’s nursery. We dropped it off for a week and they took care of it. Thank you Jared’s nursery! Your staff is amazing!!

They have some beautiful plants and some more unique varieties than you typically will see at home improvement stores / Walmart. I would give their plants at higher score if it wasn't for their service. I shopped there a lot last year I spent a lot of money there, and now this year it's the same thing. staff is not friendly they are short even from the first person you see to when you check out. it's disappointing .

Of course they are much more expensive than say Walmart or Home Depot which you can find beautiful plants there it just varies but some of their plants really are about double the price and you know as a small business that makes sense they're not ordering the amount and have the relationships that those Mass retailers do that's understandable but if I'm paying double the price for something I expect at least a basic level of friendliness.

Lauren was very helpful and patient with all my pond question. For two years I’ve been trying to fight algae and finally we figured it out. It’s so nice to be able to talk to someone knowledgeable!
The place also has everything for the garden, many beautiful pots and some rare plants! Jewel in the neighborhood!

Very disappointed in how far Jared’s has fallen. My parents have been going there since 1990. They hired Jared’s to do their landscaping. The staff as of late is extremely disrespectful, rude, and unaccommodating. Sad to say that our recent experiences with the rude staff has resulted in the loss of lifelong clients. We will find a different local nursery to support from now on.

Can have a good variety of plants, but it can be really difficult to find specific species without assistance. Helpful staff, and they had four species of dwarf cherry bushes, which was fantastic!

I've had success with their trees and plants in the past, so I figured I’d take advantage of their fall sale. If you are considering it though, don’t bother. Perennials are listed as 40 percent off on their sign. I spent a while looking at their perennials, tried to buy one, was told it didn't count as a perennial and wasn't discounted despite it being listed as a perennial, took it back to the shelf, found a different perennial, tried to buy that one, and was told that one (in spite of them agreeing it was a perennial) was also not in sale because it was a newer plant. I told them the signs didn't list any exclusions and was told by the cashier that she doesn't make the signs. So, if you're looking to take advantage of the fall sale, don't bother, since what you want is probably not on sale no matter what the sign says
