So yesterday I planted romaine lettuce, arugula, endive, red leaf lettuce, rosemary, basil, broccoli, cilantro, peppers, chocolate mint and parsley. I am planning on adding tomatoes and spinach but…

I agree with John F that you can get the same goods elsewhere (not easily) for much cheaper, but sometimes I don't care about the price even if I KNOW I'm overpaying. Going to Gethsemane is an…

This place has excellent gifts, but pring your pocket book! Flowers there are really nice, but often over priced for my budget. If you are looking to garden and save bucks, don't shop here. BUT, If…

I was looking for a specific plant, a calathea, and I called nearly 30 places until I found one that had it. Gethsemane Garden Center. A little out of the way but totally worth it, I thought the…

This is still the best garden center in the city in my book. I love my new close City Escape Garden Center but they just don't have the selection that Gethsemane has. They are a bit short of parking…

Lovely place, but prices are outrageous and seem to cater to Lakefront folks who either don't have cars or don't know hows to get to the suburbs or exurbs where things are cheaper. For god's sake,…

Be ready for a few things 1) Great plant material, 2) Sky high prices, 3) Often rude or confrontational sales people. I spent $2000 on a tree and on a return trip shortly after, was snubbed by the…
