Friendly and helpful staffs. Pets/kids friendly. Amazing selections of indoor and outdoor plants. Very relaxing experience overall.

This place is always fun to visit and relax while enjoying the plentiful fauna. The staff are always happy to help, whether it be with understanding what plant would be best for you. Or explaining various needs of certain plants.Ive never had a bad experience here.And would recommend this place to anyone looking to start or explore their gardening experiences.

The selection and staff were beyond outstanding. I think the staff may have been able to tell I was new to plants because three of them offered me help. Each one of them taught me something new, providing me with helpful information on how to care for my plant (amount of sunlight, watering, fertilizer, etc). Steve even gave me a little bit of extra dirt for my tree to fill up the pot nicely. Overall, great shopping experience, knowledgeable staff and beautiful plants.

So much to explore and see here! The selection of indoor and outdoor plants, pots, accessories, etc. is unmatched. Dogs are welcome to browse too, and don’t forget to check out the indoor koi pond located next to the barista counter!

Such a beautiful place! Feel so comfortable every time I went there.

Good place for plants!

Bought some great looking pots here that in turn made my partner and I’s Aloe plant very happy! Relaxing setting with a cozy cafe in the back corner of the property. Do your plants a favor and check this place out.

Swanson’s is not only just a great place to buy plants but clearly take care in in their hiring and staff. Mary was an absolute gem, I had tons of pots to return (after realizing I had lots of pots at home unused) and she helped and assured me it was no hassle at all. I was having a terrible day, and felt so bad about returning so much and she absolutely made my day with her kindness! Thank you so much!

This place is huge and has some amazing items. Plants, pots, bird supplies, yard art and more. The staff were super helpful and provided great customer service!

Wonderful nursery. Nice selection. I always go here for special perennial items, harder to find items and the best-looking begonias and hydrangeas. The plants are healthy, well-cared for, and there are plenty of experts around if you have questions. I was just there today looking for drought-tolerant perennials and there were plenty of great options!

One of the best nurseries Ive visited. I can spend hours here and not get bored. Hard to walk out empty-handed :)

Fantastic experience, coffee shop in the back. Everything is so well-maintained and beautiful. Well done!

Loved the store. They have very good safety measures, great variety of plants and friendly staff. I’m definitely coming back

The nursery is big, has a large and wide selection of plants and supplies. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful along with being polite, professional, courteous, and efficient. The nursery was laid out and set up to support the current social distancing requirements. My wife and I were impressed and had a very good shopping experience. Highly recommend!

Great variety. Friendly staff. Nice cafe so you can enjoy a coffee while strolling around. Spend 3 hrs just looking around and still could have went around. Worth it

Best nursery in the Seattle area? Great quality, great service. The attention to detail is just in another level, from the layout of the plants and flowers to the little cart holders in the parking lot so your cart doesnt roll while you load up your car.

Swansons has a nice variety of indoor plants in a few different sizes too! I was impressed with their selection but it was a bit pricey for plants that are harder to find. There was a nice selection of air plants too!

Lots of fun plants and plant accessories, and the Cafe made some good coffee!

Fun coming here during the holidays. Reindeer and a Grinch village train set make it special.Gift shops and Cafe are great. The cafe seating is among lush tropical plants and a koi pond.Large selection of planters and beautiful plants available year round.

Perfect daddy’s daughter date during all season of the year.

It is always such a visual experience to shop at Swanson. There are always lots of people in green shirts to answer my questions. Keep] up the great work

Had a great selection of pots and planters. Just wished they carried local handmade pots or even international. Majority was made in China and had one brand from Germany. Overall, beautiful designs with good quality.Plants available are those you see everywhere else. There werent a lot of rare findings.A bit expensive, but offer military discount, which is a plus and you receive Swanson money when you purchase a certain amount. Redeemable in July, so Ill be back then. 😊

Swansons is a beautiful nursery in Seattle that really decks itself out for the Christmas holiday season. They have a yearly reindeer festival that kids love, a model train/Christmas village set up, a Santa yurt, and an all around festive vibe going on that you better come with your wallets open for all the beautiful stuff youd be tempted to snap up.A must stop when you have the deep pockets to shop (or just browse if you can keep yourself from spending).

We went today at the fall festival and went there multiples times during holiday festival. Always kid friendly. Parking onsite. Plants look healthy.

Fun to visit year round, but especially at the holidays. The train display is always full of little surprises.Oh! And they have nice plants and knowledgeable staff, too.

Swansons blew me away. Im just starting my foray into flora and after shopping around other locations Im happy to have ended my search here. I went with a roommate on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and spent three hours browsing and enjoying the variety of plants. This was as much a walk in a beautiful park as it was a shopping trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but what really struck me was the kindness and gentleness of other customers. We were approached several times to ask about plants wed found on our cart, people were generally conscious of others who were shopping, not blocking pathways, being patient waiting for help, and making friendly conversation. I could say so many good things about the facility itself but it speaks a lot louder to me that they have cultivated (heh) such a lovely customer base. Thanks for the Lemon Tree!

Love Swansons! Great, helpful staff. Great selection of plants that are healthy and will last!

Incredible selection and wonderful, helpful staff. I’ve purchased dozens of indoor plants over the past year. Will always go back to Swansons!

Fun, beautiful gardening experience. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have a wide variety of plants and tools. Plus they are very kid and family friendly. I highly recommend coming to Swansons over Home Depot or other box stores.

Been using Swansons for years at all seasons, love it, and rely on it.There are always tried and true plants, and often with a new color or aspect. Look for something new to youby specified area like dwarf conifers or butterfly attractors. Look at displays, ask for help. Finish up with lunch or refreshments under the immense indoor trees and explore the gift shop.

Best nursery in Seattle and they have fun seasonal activities for kids. More than just plants they have a nice gift shop and a tasty Cafe on site and lots of garden supplies.

Love Swansons. They have a good early spring sale every year in Feb/March.Lots of planters. Nice selection of bare root berry and fruit trees. Really nice staff. Order online/over the phone and curbside pickup is available.

This is definitely my favorite nursery in the city. The selection is unmatched and the staff are friendly and helpful. While the prices are steep, they are competitive with most plant retailers in the area. I live about 5 miles away and it’s worth the trip every time.

This place is huge and though you might end up paying more for plants here than you would at a place like Home Depot, you can’t beat the experience and the level of service.Big shout out to Elizabeth. She was the only person to ask us if we needed help and when we asked questions she was a great resource. Please give her a raise!It’s fun to look around at the exotic plants. They have such an interesting wide variety of plants. Where else can you get a yuzu tree?Got to watch the koi feeding time, as seen in the video.

Im very inexperienced when it comes to caring for any kind of plant but the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating

Everyone at swansons is so helpful!! Especially the young black man who often helps me load my purchases. Always asks how my day is going. So friendly and courteous! Hes one of the reasons I pay more to go to Swansons.

Swansons is one of the best nurseries in the greater Seattle area! Their restaurant (closed now for covid safety) has great food and a fun setting.There is an awesome selection of plants; they have a helpful, knowledgeable staff, a pretty setting and fun seasonal stuff for children. Very much worth a visit!

The absolute best nursery and plant shop in Seattle. They have an impeccable selection of outdoor/indoor plants and gifts, plus a nice cafe. Good pricing compared to other local shops, and they really take care of their plants so you know youre buying something healthy. The staff is always helpful with questions about plant care. Sign up for their newsletter to learn about events, sales, etc.

Not the best prices but yes on the best selection for plants for the garden. But that’s not why I live Swanson’s. It’s their Christmas display with rain deer, photo ops, and a train display on a different theme each year- with characters from past years hiding here and there.

This place is a paradise to visit during the pandemic!!

Best selection of ferns I have ever seen

Wonderful place for gardening needs, family fun and meeting with friends. It is like a garden with a cafe and a very nice gift shop.

Beautiful plant selection! The best nursery in Seattle.

My favorite place to buy quality flowers and shrubs. I can spend hours here. Their gift shop is lovely.

This is a great place to get plants, and there are currently a lot of Christmas trees for sale right now. You can purchase indoor plants and outdoor plants, and the prices and selection are really good. They do have a reservation system online, so you reserve a time to shop on their website and scan in when you get there. It keeps the store less crowded and its easy to socially distance there.

Swansons is the best option around for plants and selection of pots. I always seem to struggle to find good looking pots & healthy plants in the same location. This place is like heaven. There is so much more they offer too.They also did a great job with safety in regards to Covid-19. I did have to wait a bit because they are limiting capacity but it is well worth the wait.

Cool set up and friendly staff! Was going to stop by for lunch but they only serve coffee and juices.

Well organized, pity they didnt have Chinese ground orchids, not surprised theyre rare everywhere.

This place is amazing. If you love plants its like being a kid in a candy store.

Swansons is the best! Never had a plant from there die. That’s saying something!!

Love this place! The quality of the plants were superb. Was easy to book my appointment and clear directions when you arrive. The staff was super knowledgeable and delivered stellar customer service. Fair pricing. Highly recommend!

Finley was super helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks Finley!

Love how big this place is and how much they have to offer.The down fall is, NONE of their fancy pots have draining holes, also I bought what I thought was a Krimson Queen Hoya but when I got home I googled how to care for this plant properly. Then I noticed it was NOT a Queen it was a Krimson Princess!Tho both plants are beautiful but I was really wanting a Queen and I was highly disappointed 😞Im extremely salty about this.. I wish they labeled it correctly 💔I would like to add, I live all the way in Shelton Washington and I traveled 2 hours to come and see this place. That makes this whole situation more disappointing.

Always a treat. They do a great job stocking hard to find plants as well as special order some items.Thank you!

I love shopping at this store. A good selection of Natives now. I do not like that they leave lights on at night. The one star review is because light at night harms pollinators by fatally attracted them to the lights where they die.

Beautiful grounds with a large range of plants (garden flowers, hedges, shrubs, trees, edible plants, as well as garden tools, decor and houseplants) with incredibly knowledgeable staff.

They have good supplies for gardening

Great selection. Helpful signage. Quality plants.

Superior service and a variety of plants, both indoor and outdoor ones. Love my snake plant! Thank you so much for helping me find the right plant!

Great place. Lots of varieties of plants. Must visit place for plant lovers.

This place can be pretty expensive. There is a huge variety of outdoor and indoor plants. Staff are super nice and make sure you check out their huge koi fish pond.

Nice, clean, nursery with plants stretched over multiple zones/areas. It has a coffee/deli bar thats fair. Their koi pond has several monster sized fish.Presently they have photo opportunities with Santa and there are 2 reindeer in a pen.Prices seemed on the high side. However everthing looked well taken care of. So you will be purchasing quality vs. quantity.Located in north Seattle.

Great place. Huge selection with knowledgeable and friendly staff.

A nice place to go in and get a pumpkin. A nice control environment to move around and shop. It didnt take very long to look around and get a pumpkin. In fact, we got 4 of them. You can also shop for plants and anything for your yard. Swanson Nursery is a great place to shop.

Been coming to this excellent nursery for 40 years, yet to be disappointed. Excellent selection, staff, and service.

Nursery is super nice and pretty, organize and clean. I love all the flowers.

Great place! Big variety and a very nice staff.

Wow what a great nursery. Has everything from plants, tools, gifts, coffee shop and more. Pretty upscale and pricey to go along with it, but if you can find everything here. Even if you aren’t in the mood to buy something it’s worth the visit to just walk around and look at everything they have.

Good plant selection, polite, helpful staff, RIDICULOUS prices. Sky Nursery is just as good and their prices are fair.

Swansons Nursery is beautiful and large enough that you could make a visit an event. The workers are friendly and awesome, and its a blast to peruse the incredible selection of plants, pots, and more. Theres even a koi pond! Im in love. Cant wait to go back.

Love it! So beautiful and nice being out in the fresh air. Huge selection and helpful staff.

WIDE selection of indoor and outdoor plants. Coy ponds adjacent to a cafe/bakery in a solarium-styled pavillion. Friendly associate named Anne helped me with reviving a wilting African Violet plant. She helped re-plant, refreshed the soil, and shared tips for plant maintenance. Generally professional and helpful. The other store agents seemed equally enthusiastic about their work and communicative with customers. I think the coolest thing about this place is the fact it was created in 1924! Will return, the prices and services are very fair -- type of place I would hang out during my lunch break if it was a little closer.TIPS: On your website, should include inventory of plants and seasonal promotions. Should also include some planter tips in the form of instructional videos to improve ONLINE presence and community.

Great selection. Pricy but kovely

Best in Seattle. Great staff and great selection.

So helpful to this novice gardener!! Such nice people and a amazing selection.

Building occupancy was way above their posted restrictions, it was extremely crowded and didnt feel COVID safe. Also the koi ponds were severely overstocked, bordering on animal abuse. The big pond probably had 3x the koi it should, at the given size.

Very good quality, however stuff is generally pretty expensive there. Knowledgeable staff.

Very helpful people. Helped us with adding soil to our succulent for free. Also, helped us choose the right soil and answer tons of questions we had on taking care of plants!It is very spacious and huge nursery. Easy to maintain social distancing :)

They dont require a reservation any longer and they have a nice selection of plants as always

I am here to warn citizens of a truth some may not be ready for. A recent review of Swansons by Antonio Maruccetti detailed the grueling process of becoming a citizen of the esteemed, pristine Swansons Christmas Village. This is accurate. When I moved to Seattle in the mid 90s, I had no home. As a well-known (even famous in the west) elfin Prince, I knew that it would be difficult to find a neighborhood I truly fit in in. In my old neighborhood, children often mocked me, kicked me, poisoned me, beat me... often, attempts on my life were made. This is the price of fame. I heard about the Christmas Village in late October 98, and immediately put in my application to become a full time citizen. As an elf, I assumed I would be a sure fit. I speak Santeese fluently, attend ceremonies weekly, already am well-versed in all of our religions readings, most notably the Most Famous Pagan Holidays New Fake Traditionally Christian Teachings... I thought I was an easy candidate. I brushed up and took the citizenship test a month after turning my application in and was denied due to not having a perfect score, and asked to re-test next year. I kid you not, they wanted every question on this 409 point short answer essay exactly correct. Rough! I lived on the streets for another year following this blatant failure, often subjected to the same harsh treatment I was forced to endure in my old neighborhood. I lost my right foot and chipped many teeth in this year. Hopeful for a brighter future, I studied our scriptures daily until it was time for me to take the test again. I did, and was accepted into The Christmas Village. Since then, my life has been what you might call perfect sensual bliss... truly! Plants and crystals and love surround me, as well as herbs. I love it here, now. I give this village a 3 star rating because the test should not require a perfect score. That is all!

Amazing variety and helpful staff

Swansons has an excellent selection and very helpful staff! I have purchased a number of houseplants, herbs, and vegetable plants here and have never been disappointed. Their appointment system for COVID has been great and you never have to worry about there being too many people there at one time.

Great selection and nice staff. Always around to help.

Super friendly and helpful staff willing to help with gardening questions

Incredible variety of plants and honestly the most helpful and knowledgeable staff in Seattle.

Of course it’s a great nursery; look at the reviews! But what I really like about Swansons is it’s indoor plant selection. Definitely outshines other popular nurseries in the area. There’s also a great selection of cache pots!

Love Swansons. Great selection. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Grounds are well kept. Very neighborly vibe. Coffee shop, and bakery items. The clearance items are good to check out in addition to what you came in for -- its rare I dont pick up a clearance item.For COVID-19, they have implemented a shop by reservation system which works very well. Every single customer I observed was wearing a mask, and was very observant of distance to others -- as opposed to the big box places like Lowes an Home Depot.

Sam helped me pick out the perfect Atlas Cedars for my small city backyard. He spent time listening to exactly what I needed and showed me several options. It was such a fun process for me!They fit in perfectly with all the other plants that I have purchased from Swansons .Jeff delivered the trees on time and put them exactly where I needed. He was gracious and kind. They were heavy for me but it wasnt a problem for him!Swansons always hires the best people and put customer service first. Beautiful plants and people, what a great combination!!

Shopped at Swansons many times - this place is the real deal. While you may find cheaper places to buy house plants, in my experience, the plants from Swansons tend to do so much better and live longer. They have an excellent selection and very helpful staff. Cant recommend this place enough.

Amazing place to go to. Huge nursery with every kind of option of plant you could think of. If you dont have money, thats okay too. Swansons is perfect for walking around and appreciating the beautiful plant life.

They have a nice, expansive collection of plants. Customer service is good. Prices are a little on the expensive side. If you’re buying something in stock, you’ll have a good experience.HOWEVER, if you’re placing an order for something not in stock, expect a lot of frustration and following up. I bought a Dracaena plant from them about a month ago. I wanted 2 of them but they had only 1 on hand. They said they can place an order and get me another me that’s similar in about a week or two. So I bought the one. Two weeks later, no call. So I followed up and the rep told me the shipment was delayed but it will be arriving the following Wednesday and they will call me as soon as it’s in. Two weeks later, no call. So I call again. This time, they say they can’t find my order and that they receive 1000’s of orders. I provide all the information about the plant I want again and I’m told to wait 2 more weeks (and no guarantee about if/when it will arrive). I wish I just didn’t buy the plant in the first place and looked elsewhere. I’ll update this if they actually follow up on their word and get me one but I have no hope.Update:They found a variety of Dracaena that very closely resembles what I had purchased. They let me return the one I had so I can buy two that are identical. Pretty happy now :)

Mine was a poor customer service experience at Swanson’s. I returned a small plant to Swanson’s that I’d received for Christmas but wanted to exchange. Although I had the gift receipt, the Swanson’s cashier, supervisor, and store manager initially refused to give a refund but would give only in-store credit even though there was no suitable exchange plant and I did not want to hold an in-store credit to a very geographically-inconvenient store for me. I was told my refund request was elevated four levels – from cashier to supervisor to manager to controller to the owner (on a Sunday morning?). All for a $44 return! The refund was finally approved.

Swanson’s Nursery has a wonderful selection of indoor/outdoor seasonal and year round gardening variety including tools and gardening decor. Everything always looks lush and healthy.They also have a knowledgable staff who can answer all your gardening questions. Plus they just LOVE their customers four-legged companions who come to visit their establishment as well. Our cats are always pampurred whenever we visit their beautiful massive koi pond beside their charming cafe with a decent selection of good eats and novelty gift shop to delight anyone who loves unique gifts.

LOVE this place, regularly drive up and pay Seattle prices for the selection and staff!

Beautiful nursery to explore and buy plants and garden accoutrements!

You will find what you are looking for at Swansons

So much variety and beautifully arranged!

Love their plants... So healthy and cute

Great selection, wonderful customer service. They even had haskaps!!

Their staff is very helpful and friendly.
