Sherbondy's Garden Center

We stopped in to get an idea of prices for our upcoming projects & just browse through the beautiful plants.Their store (from the outside to the greenhouse to the 'storefront') were tidy and easy to navigate. They seem to have a good variety of annuals, shrubs, trees and perennials - beautifully cared for and everything appears to be healthy and strong. My favorite part, however, was the fact that I felt at ease having my toddlers run around. They had some birds on viewing in a little aviary, a little ride-on toy, and several sturdy (aka not easily broken) toys for them to tinker with. As we checked out for the day, the woman at the counter even invited them to grab a free little trinket animal. They're a very family friendly stop, and I trust that the rest of the staff exercises wonderful customer service as well. They also had a good selection of tools, fertilizers, soils, mulch etc. !

Wanted to get some fertilizer for the yard, and since the website said this store sold the brand we were looking for, we stopped by on our way to the park. Lots of parking which I always love. Walking in I immediately saw the pretty birds in the 'aviary' up front. It was nicely decorated and featured a type of dove, finches and another type of bird. They're so colorful and cute. Lots of gift items and accessories for the garden distracted me. So he went in search of the fertilizer while I looked around. Adorable pot holders im shapes of owls, rabbits and frogs amongst other. A blinding array of seed packets. A little corner of clearance items. Wind chimes, metal decorations and so many other things I didn't have time to see. The greenhouse area had different types of plants, seedlings and soil. Unfortunately they were sold out of what we were looking for but it was fun to see all the other things. Sorely tempted to swing by and pick up some of the animal shaped pot holders. Which I don't need as I kill plants.....

I love Sherbondy's. I've been there a few times in the past month and I each experience was a good one.The prices may be a tad more compared to the big box stores, but you get a 1-year warranty with most of their trees/shrubs/plants, whereas the big box stores don't normally offer that. And it's great supporting local business!My only criticism is that I can't ever seem to find someone outside or near the plants to ask questions; which isn't a huge deal but still.All in all, Sherbondy's is my go-to for plants and anything garden.

Such a treasure in Council Bluffs, IA! I was shocked to find Drift brand rose plants and lots of Proven Winners plants and such a great variety. All plants have plenty of space and air, not just smashed together in an overgrown mess of dying plants like big box stores. Plants are very organized and seem happy to be alive, well cared for such a large garden center. Great variety. Lots of different plants. The vegetable starts did seem to be very short on stock, but COVID likely increased demand this spring. Tomato trellis were out of stock and seeds/shelves seemed a bit picked over. No radish seeds at all. It is difficult to know where the store ends. Can you go in the green houses? It's hard to tell. Aisles were swept and tidy. Shelves had been dusted. A large white bird greets customers with a "Hello", which is super fun for kids. More birds are kept near the checkout, which is lovely to see. Plenty of shopping carts and the staff gives you plenty of space to shop and enjoy browsing. I was happy with the selection of fertilizer and plant foods. The tools seemed picked through and needed reordering. Generally, I feel big box store are well stocked comparatively, but plants are way more healthy and happy here! Will shop again and again!

This place has some great deals and very nice employees! Just wish there were more of them as they are usually busy helping someone else.The hours are a little short, sometimes.

Fantastic family environment, love that it is a local family owned business. Lots of varieties of items for purchase! Will shop again.
