Esposito Gardening Center Reviews ( 250 )

  1. Awesome collection…er stuff all over the place. It’s scary to walk and just by accident break something. I really like the place and the stuff but it looks like all messy. Maybe it’s because of christmas time.

  2. Very disappointed in flowers sent to me by family from Missouri and delivered by Esposito. Could not believe they would even send anything like that from their facility. They should be ashamed.

  3. They are not enforcing the Leon County mask mandate, the employees aren’t even aware of the mandate and believe it is a CDC guideline! Amazon can have my business.

  4. I picked up about 30 pieces of centipede grass sod and they had a fungus which killed off all of my sod and is spreading into the rest of my lawn. I need compensation for the sod and the destruction of my lawn.

  5. Prices are a little high but don’t mind paying to help local shops. I call it the “Target of garden stores” because their selection is great and they have things that you need, but didn’t know you needed it!

  6. Recently contracted to have a viburnum hedge planted and the installer “Willie” and his assistant did an outstanding job. Also John Penn who coordinated the project was outstanding to work with.

  7. I travel front Gulf Co to shop here.Unique items for all your landscaping,and garden needs.Very knowledable ,friendlyn staff and some of the best prices.Mike is particularly knowlegeable.

  8. I recently brought my Echo Edger into the repair shop, after two weeks I called Esposito’s and they told me the carburetor needed to be replaced and it would cost $70 for the carburetor itself and $70 in labor = $140 in repairs. They asked …

  9. My family likes to go here for days out. Seriously, my kids think its a park. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and their stock for all things gardening is wide and deep.

  10. Had a hard time finding the products I needed until I went to Espositos. They were truly helpful and actually knew what they were talking about. I wish I could say the same for home depot.

  11. I went in to buy a chainsaw and A gentleman named Mike was super helpful and told me everything I needed to know on how to properly maintain my equipment to make it last forever. Highly recommended

  12. Esposito’s is a garden center and hardware store. The owner is often seen walking the aisles to be sure you find what you are looking for and staff always are helpful.

  13. being popular means they don’t always have house brand items (in my case the large size Esposito potting soil). otherwise always pleased, especially with the helpful employees.

  14. Thank you Esposito’s so much for your generous donation of a Christmas Tree for the Homeless Shelter this year. We can always count on you! In the picture is Keiser University’s Occupational Therapy Assistant students decorating the tree! Thank you again for your generosity to our community!

  15. Their selection is pretty vast. Mainly in camellias and azaleas. But, just about anything, they have it. Tons of selections. Everything was blooming when I went, so you can tell what you’d be getting.

  16. Esposito’s has an excellent small engine and chainsaw parts department. Always knowledgeable staff and parts in stock. Super convenient location.

  17. Great shopping experience, very knowledgeable staff, great variety of merchandise, beautiful plants, experts to design and install your landscape and irrigation and maintain them. And now with Ace Hardware to make it a one stop shop!

  18. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I have been waiting on a quote for over 3 weeks. I Spoke with consultant Anna and she assured me I would have it will guess what no quote. I keep calling and leaving messages was told Monday I would have it by Wednesday but …

  19. Esposito Garden Center in Tallahassee has poor customer service and business practices. I’ve always liked shopping local and Esposito’s has always been one of the places I would go. NO MORE!!! I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN. THEY DON’T MIND …

  20. FSA 90 R is a very expensive grass trimmer. When it is functioning properly it is weak and bogs down in thick grass. It has been used in a residential setting and has only lasted about 3 to 4 years; it is dead and it is not the battery, and …

  21. The staff are knowledgeable and are always willing to help. I have found garden and houseplant care products here that the bigger home and garden stores do not carry.

  22. Knowledgable friendly staff and great plants always in stock. There is a hardware store inside and a huge garden outside. They do a neat display thing for xmas too.

  23. Said that event will last until 4 pm. It only lasted until 2. Vendors closed two hours before time people traveled for miles In heavy traffic just to be turned away. grumpy and rude vendors with bad attitudes from bjs face painting. No parking available. very fustrating experience.

  24. Might as well have hit up home depot. I went in last weekend looking for some basic help with starting a garden and there wasn’t a single person who could help. I thought basic information like “when is the right time to grow this” was accessible to me at a garden center…guess not 🙁

  25. Took a riding lawnmower to have a belt replaced. After nearly a week with no word, I called and was told they didn’t have a belt in stock and had to order it. After another week (they don’t work on Thursdays, only one mechanic on staff, …

  26. Esposito’s was very helpful when we had an apple tree that we bought from them died in the first year and they gladly replaced it, even though we couldn’t find the receipt. They are great!!

  27. I was helped by this really nice women who was the receptionist or something for there store. She was very sweet and determined to find something for me I’m happy to have run into someone like her. Great job guys

  28. Hurtis is the florist manager. He’s all about customer service and satisfaction. He is a problem solver and is awesome to deal with. I will order all if my future flowers from him personally.

  29. We love Esposito’s and all they do for us. They are able to repair our equipment promptly, allowing us to rarely miss a beat. Mike in service repair is super to deal with along with the rest of the team. Thanks again guys!

  30. Esposito has great products! Such a wide variety of plants, trees, garden accessories and more. When customers buy planters from us, we’ll send them over to buy a beautiful new plant from here!

  31. Great service. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Went shopping for a Christmas Tree and didn’t have to go any further. Nice selection and had everything needed.

  32. I shop for landscape plant buys here when i am landscaping a large area. I like the carts and pile the plants on. Someone usually is there to help and write up my purchases as I go. Checkout is always smooth and helpful.

  33. Used the lawn service for almost a year, each visit was a different technician and each time a different diagnosis of lawn problems.. Bottom line they managed to create substantial damage to the lawn. I called their office to express my …

  34. I needed a really pretty floral arrangement for a funeral within a few hours today. I have had artificial wreaths custom made over the years from Esposito’s but never a live arrangement. I talked briefly on the phone to “Polly” in their …

  35. Great staff and selection, especially for landscaping staples like trees, bushes, etc. Vegetable section is usually top notch. Seasonally, they have the best Christmas decorations in town.

  36. Do not go during the after Christmas sales event they will be BUSY!!! BUT, they do have the staff to back it up. This is a prime example if what a hometown Garden Center should be. I would rather go here than a boxstore. Thank you for being there for Tallahassee.

  37. I went into the Espositos earlier this week. I normally go to Home Depot or Lowe’s For my lawn maintenence needs. A friend told me to try them out and check prices against Home Depot that I would be greatly surprised. Honestly, I go to the …

  38. We LOVE Esposito’s! They do an excellent job hanging our outdoor Christmas lights. We have a family tradition of each picking out an ornament every year. There is no better selection in town or online for that matter! Esposito’s is a unique, family-owned business and nursery that we are proud to support.

  39. Extremely helpful. Excellent staff and customer service with great personality too. I would highly recommend for home and garden needs. Plus, out back is magical. Go there.

  40. I had 1 roll of xmas lights from last year that failed, I had bought 3 rolls, different brand so they replace all so they would all match. Was their idea, way beyond just good customer service. Awesome customer service.

  41. Rollie was so great and so helpful. Went out of his way to talk to us and help us find what we needed with a smile even in 90 degree summer heat! Highly recommend this store.

  42. I’m a stickler for writing reviews whether good, bad or indifferent. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the customer service I received in the small engine repair shop. My husband had the brilliant idea to host Thanksgiving dinner …

  43. It would be nice if individual plants were marked with the price so customers didn’t have to find an employee to hand write the cost of plants I want to purchase on a little slip of paper that I then have to take to the cashier. It’s an unnecessary step and waste of customer and employees time.

  44. Esposito has been around for a very long time and has been good at what they do best I don’t know cause Esposito has been doing a lots of things gooooooooood and haven’t let off the gas tearing the other guys a new one I have been all over …

  45. We had landscaping work done by Espositos. While the finished work looks great, the process and communication leaves a lot to be desired. We met with Anna on July 9. 2 weeks later she brought us the design and quote. She stated the work …

  46. Such arrogance and demeaning resonse when asking the experts about plants. Had a similar experience a year ago, talked with their customer service manager. Gave them another chance as she asked me to do. Looks like nothing has improved. …

  47. Yard renovation/ landscape design, after a consultation on 1/24 /19, I was told without any idea of time to expect to hear back regarding moving forward so I could make the right plans to address my yard concerns, financial cost and the …

  48. Great store and lots of items and plants. However, things are very expensive. A bird house I saw was $30 and the same one at Walmart was $10. That’s why I came 4 stars because of the prices.

  49. One of the best garden centers in Tallahassee. Great selection and knowledgeable staff with decent prices. Sale prices are exceptional. A must-visit place during the holidays.

  50. Five stars because of Tabitha… THE most helpful and cordial person. I was on a fool’s errand… attempting to find replacement for a deadbolt . . LSS though advertised it wasn’t available locally, she called the other Tallahassee stores …

  51. The staff at Esposito are always friendly and willing to help. They are knowledgeable about the plants as well as the fertilizer products recommended for the various different types of flowers. The staff are available to help you carry purchases out to your vehicle, too.

  52. Went to the little fall festival they advertised but it wasn’t what we expected. Had just a couple stations set up outside, cats inside and one bounce house. Looked a little dangerous because no attendant was there to supervise kids. But the place itself was nice.

  53. Friendly helpful staff. Christmas time selections are insane. If you need it want it or can dream it up chances are they have it. They also have a Parts and repair shop. The manager is Mike he is super knowledgeable and super cute.😉 😉 😉 …

  54. Set up appt for landscaping plan/quote and called the day before with the individual to reconfirm. They still did not show. Also, I set up this appt 14 days before due to their schedule and drove in specifically from Apalach for it. Luckily …

  55. If all small businesses gave the type of customer service as Espositos they would put all the big box stores out of business! It would be impossible for someone to treat me better, resolve issues and bend over backwards to make me happy than John in their grill department. I will never consider going elsewhere.

  56. They had better way looking trees that I was interested in than the competition down the street. They were more pricey than I expected but they had selection and all were in what I thought was great condition (having leaves compared to bare.) They got my business.

  57. We’ve been dealing with the Hydroponics Center at Esposito’s for a few years now and they have helped us immensely with each and every part and piece of the puzzle to put together a beautiful Koi pond on our back patio

  58. Selection of plants is amazing. Always greeted by employees and are willing to answer questions. Prices are high compared to other places. They do have good sales just have to watch.

  59. One rep was rude, uniformed, curt, and should not be allowed to speak to 79 year old customers or any other employees. We were Blessed that another associate found us, we asked the same question, received a prompt and courteous response, he then used his w waklie talkie and verified the price.

  60. I’ve been to Esposito twice in the past month and both times I received over the top service. When I asked for advice about my ailing tomato plant, I got way more than what I asked for and now I feel like a gardening pro. I love this place!

  61. One star for not being a big box store and for the selection of Christmas trees. If you are high risk for COVID-19 please be careful before going here. Front counter employee pulled her mask off to talk on the phone, front desk accepted a …

  62. This store has everything you need at OK prices. The customer service however is not very good . 2 different employees had really bad attitude when I asked for help in the store. Both employees acted as if I was bothering them …heavy …

  63. So happy with my new table and chairs! Thank you Laura and staff for wrapping it up and getting it ready for its road trip to West Palm! Wish we had an Esposito’s!

  64. I’ve shopped at Esposito’s for years but never thought to order from the “florist” department. A very close friend of ours tragically passed away and we wanted to send something special to his oldest daughter. I spoke with Tristin and he …

  65. I was told and shown where the plants I wanted were at. The staff were so helpful. They gave me info on how to care for and fight fungus on the plant. They told me exactly what I needed for healthy plants. I love Esposito’s. Awesome place to shop .

  66. Lots of variety. They have gardening supplies, decorations, bird feeders, bird baths, huge Christmas srlection. Plants are out back and a very cool gift store is to the left of the store.

  67. The selection of outdoor supplies as well as plants is phenomenal. Esposito has great employees that are always helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to outdoor plants, planting, and various outdoor activities. The products sold here are …

  68. This is a well stocked store that has tools, plants, and gardening supplies that are hard to find sometimes. The tool rentals seem cheaper than the big box stores and are of better quality (usually Stihl). They also have a tool repair …

  69. Came in from out of town and ordered long stem roses for my daughters graduation. I was pleased with the service but not the quality. Didn’t feel the arrangement was worth the money. The rose buds were very small. And when I asked the …

  70. There’s always someone nearby, no matter what part of Esposito you’re in, to help you with everything.
    The staff are all super friendly, and knowledgeable about everything in the …

  71. Wayne needs a serious attitude adjustment. Just spent $350 on a pot and did not appreciate the generally unpleasant and inconvenienced demeanor. No one helped us load this giant pot either, which I know is a service provided at other locally owned nurseries in town.

  72. Esposito’s is my Favorite plant nursery in town. They always have such healthy plants in a wide selection of colors for fantastic prices. The employees that work there are also extremely helpful. The employees always go out of their way to …

  73. Both a garden center and hardware store. You will pay a bit more here, but the abundant and excellent customer service provided on the floor while you are there will make it worth the few extra bucks. Plus, they always have in stock exactly what you need, when you need it. Should be your first stop for most of your household needs.

  74. Had a great time there, their staff were so friendly and so knowledgeable. Everyone working there that you passed asked if they could help or help find something for you will definitely go back without a doubt

  75. From the time I walk in the store great service. The youngman assistance me with my items he was very knowledgeable about what I was askingfor. And the young lady was polite as well when checking me out. …

  76. They have a Narnia Paradise jungle behind the store! It’s absolutely gorgeous! And their prices are fantastic! Family-owned for over 50years! So if you like shopping local this is about as local as It gets!

  77. As always, Esposito’s went way above and beyond for our project. They were prompt, professional and seemed to always leave our home cleaner than when they arrived. Part of our project was a little tricky, and they came up with a solution …

  78. Fantastic selection of plants, shrubs, gardening books, supplies and everything in between. Very knowledgeable staff and they want what’s best for your and your yard/project. The prices match the effort and quality of the product.

  79. Esposito’s has everything you need for lawn and garden and more!! Plus, they have experts in every aspect of planning, planting, maintenance and more!! All of the employees are friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful!! They are THE place to go for all your gardening needs and more!!

  80. Cannot say enough great things about the customer service at this place. We came in to get some citrus trees only to find when we went to leave that our car wouldn’t start. No less than 5 employees offered us assistance and even let us borrow a set of wrenches. Helpful, awesome people!!

  81. They have everything you need for your yard or garden. They even carry hydroponics supplies. Every spring they have a 10 for $10 deal on seedlings. They carry a wide variety of many veggies and herbs. They also carry landscaping supplies, …

  82. We hired Esposito’s to spuce up our corner property–it needed soil filled in all the holes on the front of the home All they did was use 4 small bags of dirt in one hole and by the mailbox. We were assured that our property would look …

  83. Researching LED lighted trees. Very helpful and knowledgeable associate gave us great information to help us get closer to a decision. Awesome place to browse – so many things to see! You could spend the day and still not see everything!

  84. Some years ago I had some issues with the original Mr. Esposito and swore I’d never buy there again. Well, time moves on and I found myself back there for a small engine class. The class was great and I started back buying there after they …

  85. Love this place! All staff are very helpful. They bring on experts for seminars just about every week, then often offer a special deal related to the seminar. Today, the seminar on pruning, which was free and very informative, was accompanied by an offer to sharpen pruning tools free. I took 3, saving me $30!

  86. This is just one on pleasant experience
    I have dealt with esposito’s on numerous occasions and have ever had a compliment. I just did not like what was done today. I went to buy lawnmower blades for …

  87. This local Tallahassee Nursery probably has a larger plant inventory than any other Nursery in the city maybe the county. Prices are competitive and staff is friendly and helpful. Not only that but the inside store is full of interesting …

  88. Love strolling through the plants. Lots of knowledgeable staff to help you find something for that sunny spot. I got started on my veggie garden this week, with tomatoes, peppers, squash and some herbs.

  89. This is a great place to wander around and find the plants you never knew you wanted. Inside also has many garden tools and rotating decorations. A little bit expensive compared to the bigger stores.

  90. An absolutely beautiful garden center, only one person to help that new anything about plants name or how big some plants would’ve grown. My friend and I first time visit to Esposito’s and would have bought more if someone would have helped …

  91. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful staff. Could not recommend this place more. Every single staff member I dealt with was incredibly friendly and knew the answer to every question we had without hesitation. My fiancé and I were getting a …

  92. Good selections. Got what I needed. Staffs are helpful. I am from out of town, so it’s nice to have a garden center here instead sticking with replica of HD and Lowes

  93. Whenever we need a big piece of equipment we try our best to get it there we know it will be good quality. The workers are so friendly and attentive and explain things to ya so well. An employee took a lot of his time on a ladder we …

  94. I believe that they have every type of plant here. If they don’t they can get it. They have a Christmas section that is amazing. I believe that they have everything for gardening. Sometimes just to get away from the hustle and bustle I like …

  95. I love this store. Every time I go there (at least 2-3 times a month, or more) everyone is so helpful. Mike, in hydroponics has been a great help over the last couple months. So much, in fact that I will now go there for items that I previously would go to Walmart or Lowe’s for. Thanks Esposito’s and THANK YOU MIKE.

  96. Excellent selection of plants here, and a huge variety of gardening, hardware, and decorating items. Great place to visit and just browse, but so many cool things it’s really hard to leave without buying something!

  97. I would be hesitant to buy indoor plants here. On Friday, May 7, I informed a worker that many of their indoor carnivorous plants were covered in deadly spider mites. He told me he would get it taken care of. I returned Sunday, May 9, and …

  98. One of my happy places in Tallahassee. Everything you need for the garden, and knowledgeable staff to help you figure out what you need in the first place. Maybe the biggest selection of plants in town. A Big Green Egg dealer as well 👍 And always lots of seasonal gifts, decorations, and household items. …

  101. Esposito’s is a great place to visit and sales high quality goods. However, I find their pricing Worthy of comparison shopping. Sometimes they’re right in line and sometimes they’re double depending on the item.

  102. We had someone come out to talk to us about drainage problems and some landscaping ideas. Took about 4 weeks to receive anything, that’s with us calling to see about the plans. We received a quote to put a drain in front of our shop for …

  103. I’m not one to make reviews but, after the chic-fil-a customer service I got today from an associate by the name of Pebbles. I’m super pleased to leave a 5 star review. I wish I could leave one for her personally but overall the customer …

  104. I’m working on a large landscape project and got amazing help at Esposito’s. I first went to another large nursery down the road and walked around a long time without anyone asking if I needed help and then when I asked for help, they had …

  105. Don’t call and ask any questions. I called and had questions about purchasing a compost. I was transferred to a voicemail. Then I called back and was transferred to a number that just rang and rang. Sorry Ralph. Headed to Lowes.

  106. Cute cats and plants! What more could you ask for? I seriously love this place. They have a great selection, super attentive and friendly staff and the place is HUGE! They have everything from plants and christmas trees to hardware supplies and home decor. 10/10 recommend!

  107. This store is a peace of heaven. All the staffs are polite, helpful, they undestand about the plants so much!!! I like to go there even to just walk around. Bring me peace, it is quiet, smells so good, all the trees, flowers, it is awesome. One of my favorites places in Tally.

  108. One of two well established nurseries in the Tallahassee area with a wide variety of all things out of doors, landscape related and back yard beautification. The staff are quite friendly and offer great advice for the asking. They have …

  109. Got my new tree from here! LOVE IT! Did have to follow up on delivery, but once I did, it all worked great. Fantastic install too. Super great folks, and I LOVE how many different plants they have. Wonderful place!

  110. Great selection of plants of all types. Questions about a future purchase of a Stihl chainsaw, had large assortment of models to compare and very knowledgeable staff of their features.

  111. Large range of plant types and species to choose from along with any tools, decorations and additions that anyone would need in their garden. The outdoor area is a little hard to navigate but there are many employees who are knowledgeable and eager to help. Quite a pleasant shopping experience.

  112. I called about my peach tree blooming in October. I was told it would be fine. Did not need to cover it or worry about it. Frost hit it and now I have no flowers or peaches. Will not deal with them again! Very disappointed!!!!

  113. This is just the greatest place to breathe and enjoy plants–beautiful flowers. Uplifting. Joyful. Thanks, everyone. What a lovely treat it is to stop by Esposito Garden Center.

  114. I love this place. I could walk around looking at all the flowers and trees all day. Customer service is outstanding. If you have questions they are very knowledgeable and seem to love their jobs.

  115. Locally owned, huge (and great) selection, prices are a little high but the quality is well worth it! Their outdoor garden is full of butterflies, even spotted some catapillars on the plants!

  116. I was at the nursery on Thursday and had the pleasure of speaking with Jessica. Jessica was friendly and very knowledgeable regarding my plants of choice, she really seemed to enjoy her job and provided excellent customer service!! I will return to Esposito’s and seek out Jessica for my gardening needs.

  117. We just moved to Florida and we’re looking forward to springtime because my husband and I love to plant. From our previous home, we had 23 fruit trees. We plan to have vegetables, herbs, fruit trees and other flowering plants on a …

  118. The entrance of this place is gorgeous! And then you get inside…not so much. The interior staff did not greet me despite not being busy, and the layout is a mess. It’s hard to find anything at all…When you get to the back, however, it’s …

  119. I went to Esposito’s looking for mums originally and ended up getting pumpkins 🎃 and found a enormous spider 🕷 plant on sale for 19.99 . I came across a ton of Halloween colored plants that I can’t wait to put together in a arrangement. …

  120. Staff is very helpful. Top notch. Found a part for a bike I’m building. They figured out what that part was on the engine just by my description. Will definitely shop there again. Plus a lot of really great garden needs. See picture I posted.

  121. With the relatively small investment for soil amendments and starter plants I have gotten a substantial yield on my vegetables this year. Esposito’s continues to be my go-to source of high-quality plants, fertilizers, soil amendments, and expert advice.

  122. Took my kids and we enjoyed a stroll through the garden – great place to take kids! Their stream, bridges and turtles make it an adventure. And the kitties were fun to show some love. …

  123. As per their TV Commercial advertising sale 3 for 17.00 The guy were holding the black diamond crepe myrtle ONLY on Commercial. I called prior to going 60 miles. When I arrived, I were told the black leaves with white blooms ” black …

  124. Great selection, good pricing, but watch out for the boomer who works in the back. He felt the need to mansplain…everything… I would have understood if he was speaking exclusively to my 10 year old daughter who was with me. As an adult, I felt it was condescending.

  125. So many items to choose from…so little time. I love coming here for the variety. Lots of different seeds to plant as well. Like African violets? Planting a garden or maybe re-planting. Love wind chimes, flowers and humming birds? Well you …

  126. They need a larger place. Have a Christmas store separate from everything else. It’s definitely not a place to take children. I was afraid something was going to get broken every time I moved my cart.

  127. I used their lawn equipment repair service for the first time. They were outstanding, professional, and completed the work on time and under budget. I recommend them highly and will make them my go to repair service.Their service department …

  128. Best place for Stihl gear repair, buying plants, and getting growing advice. A bit pricey for ferns. Great collection is Christmas stuff. Recently expanded store has great gifts and home furnishings.

  129. Parts department is amazing. They took on our mower (which had been sitting forever and needed everything replaced basically), made it run like new and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Couldn’t be happier

  130. I went in here the other day and I had the best experience I’ve ever had in a garden center. I don’t know very much about gardening and the employee at the store, Will was so helpful. He walked me through the entire store and thoroughly helped me through the decision process. I definitely will be coming back very soon.

  131. I’m never disappointed but today I was pleasantly surprised. I bought a gift for my mother-in-law and my cashier offered free gift wrapping. I didn’t know they would do that!?!
