the quality and selection may be great, but the employees are authoritarian bullies. i observed and experienced mean interactions, degradation and outright rudeness between staff and to some customers. the "managers" treat their employees with disrespect. and for that reason alone, i will not shop there.

I and my sister and friends absolutely love Sid's for their service,selection and quality of plants,tools and home and garden accessories.Sid's also has a program where one can get a free card and earn "Sid's Bucks",which one earns coupons based upon the amount of their purchase(s) that can be used towards future purchases on dates designated by Sid's .My sister and I go to the annual sidewalk sale EVERY year .Imagine getting a $60.00 flowering plant for $8.00 or X-mas ornaments that retail for $20.00 and up for $2.00 .Well, at Sid's getting quality products for rock bottom prices is not a dream but a reality !

Truly my favorite place to buy. Great variety and selection of everything from trees to herbs. Prices are OK, higher than Big Box, but the selection, service and knowledge are worth it. Nice selection of tools and accessories as well as pond plants, fountains etc. Staff is very well versed in the merchandise and plants they sell and happy to answer questions. They grow many perennials in their own greenhouses and can also order specific plants you're hunting. Just be aware that they are closed on Sundays.
