About Strader's Garden Center

Strader's Garden Center offers a diverse and unique selection of plants, pots, and accessories. This location is referred to as the "flagship" of Strader's and has a massive variety of plants for every occasion, season, and preference. It is much larger than most common nurseries in or near Columbus and is comparable to Oakland Nursery. Customers can generally find the supplies they need, as the store aims to meet most gardening needs. While the store is generally clean and organized, with a friendly store cat and dog-friendly policies, customer service experiences have been mixed. Some customers have reported helpful and knowledgeable staff who check in to offer suggestions and answer questions. However, there are also reports of rude and unhelpful staff at times. There have been issues with the availability of certain products, such as soil, and concerns about the quality of the plants. Some customers have found pests like mealybugs and have expressed a desire for better fragrant rose bush options and less common orchids. The store's return and refund policies have frustrated some customers as well. Overall, Strader's Garden Center provides a decent shopping experience, but improvements in customer service and plant quality control could enhance customer satisfaction.

    Massive location with tons of options. The staff I have spoken to has only ever been friendly and helpful.

    Itโ€™s impossible for me to go here without spending money.

    (Note that the photos shown are in my apartment, but are all pots Iโ€™ve purchased from Straderโ€™s. They look lovely in my home!)

    If you haven't been here before, go now! Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars, just go! I don't even like going to the Strader's on my side of town after going here. I would love a garden like Strader's. Just go.
