Only a couple of the associates are knowledgeable. The manager talks over top of you and doesn't listen. The owner feels a need to record long rambling messages you have to listen to that you're not interested in when you call the store. And their plants frequently have major problems and are a huge waste of money. Been trying to do business with these people for years now and finally can no longer recommend doing business with them.
Oh, and see the snarky response from the owner? I happen to live 3 blocks from waters. I moved from Dallas more than 6 years ago. Last spring I purchased asparagus

Every time I have dealt with Watters everyone has been very helpful and friendly, and above else, knowledgeable on the subject. I've dealt with too many discount nurseries where the sales associates knew nothing about gardening -- not their fault, but the fault of the management for poor hiring and training practices. Watters is not the cheapest, but I rely on them for their expertise and quality of products.

Megan was very helpful today. She helped us thru all our garden issues. She also looked at a plant we bought somewhere else and was kind enough to offer her help. We love their advice and fertilizer. We bought a beautiful butterfly plant and care items today. THANK YOU MEGAN for all your help and looking at our barrel cactus.

Best place, staff always helpful and knowledgeable. Hot day we were there my husband is on oxygen. He couldn't do much walking. Wonderful young lady found our plants for us loaded them in our truck. Was again a great experience. Thanks Watters

I came up from Scottsdale to visit for the weekend and I decided to come visit this garden center to check out their selection of house plants (I'm a collector). I was so pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of house plants and other plants! I loved seeing all the flowers, trees, and vegetables available. This is an awesome place!
