Review on Blumen Gardens by Sherwin Smith

Ok, I am German and when I lived in Germany all my life I never heard about this store. But when I moved to the US for study then half of my family moved with me. And my parents are quite gardener people. They told me they went to that store before in Germany but they never visited it again because most plants do not survive here in the US. So why should you go there? Well, let's start with a small tour through their shop!

The most plants are inside huge greenhouses which is really cool because most plants can be found easily. You don't have to search 10 minutes over 20 different pots until you find your plant! It's just next door where saw it last time - maybe it's a little bit dark so sometimes it's a little bit hard to see everything but I kind of like this because you can touch a lot of plants without feeling guilty or anything like that! Though Blumen Garden does not only sell plants they also sell different kinds of garden tools, pots (different sizes), furniture (garden benches and more) and also some stuff for inside the house - like candles, towels etc.



So if you are looking for some inspiration what to design at your place then go there! Blumen Gardens has got really good prices though sometimes they do not have all items available on their online store (I know that since I am looking every week what they offer now).

If you still want to order something and they do not have it in the store then you can write them and ask if they can get it. I bought there as well pretty often as my parents and they always got everything I needed! So even if you don't live near by now but want to buy something for your garden at home - just go ahead, they will ship it later also if you like.

OK, this was a little bit about their shop and what they offer at all (you can find their online catalogue here: ). Let's talk about the service now since I am living here with my American husband and my German family - we often go to Blumen Gardens together.



We had always a good service, the prices are fine and it's not really crowded inside which is a big advantage for me! I don't like to go there when it's busy. When somebody tells me too many people at Blumen Gardens - no thanks! But most of my family members were happy with the plants they bought before and they survived pretty well. They told me sometimes they had to buy new ones until their plant died because some plants do not survive here in Northern Virginia (they live right next to Washington DC). Though you can see that on the online catalog as well if those items are marked as "temporary".

Blumen Gardens is a great place to find plants and garden accessories. They have an extensive catalogue of products for both inside and outside the house, all at affordable prices.
