Testimonials

On 6/7/2025 Brian Christopher had this to say:
Very knowledgeable about all plants they sell and they take their time to explain things to you. I bought several plants last year and he remembered me. I showed him pictures of the plant I bought (bought 2) and one of them died. He didn't have to but he knocked the price down from $45 to $20 and he didn't even have to do that. Summers Nursery has gained a loyal customer here! 😄

On 8/30/2024 Charlie Leppo had this to say:
This family owned an operated nursery is the best hands-down. Customer service is top-notch, they have all the knowledge you could ever need with anything regarding landscaping. They took the time to walk through all of their inventory with my wife to help her pick out plants to take care of our front yard, delivered our trees, and provided us with compost and mulch. Right off of the interstate and easy to get to. Definitely the place to bring your business if you’re in need

On 7/6/2024 Kimmy King had this to say:
These guys were SO helpful and knowledgeable! We showed them pictures of our house and told them exactly what we were looking for and they nailed it. Great variety of all kinds of different plants and trees too! Great place!

On 5/4/2024 Jessica Peder had this to say:

On 6/9/2022 Andy Bairby had this to say:
