Slidell Nursery

To me, this is the BEST nursery in Slidell hands down, and I’ll tell you why.
It’s not because they have the biggest and most diverse selection of plants. They often don’t, really. But that’s because their space is limited, I think. They do often have a very good selection of different species, though, that’s for sure.
The reason they’re the best is because of the amount of care and attention they put into those plants. The reason they’re the best is because the lady and her daughter that work there will go out of their way to answer any question you might have about anything they sell and they are very well educated on the plants they sell. In fact, they won’t just answer your questions, they’ll educate you on those plants as well. And they’ll do it very nicely and you will feel as though actually learned something while you were there. They LOVE gardening and caring for plants and it shows.
The nursery is located on a residential lot and the whole place just seems like a homeowner’s dream garden. I imagine that’s exactly what they were aiming for. ;) There is a mighty oak at the entrance and I really wish they sold the kind of tree people faces that she has on it, but she told me it was quite old and can’t get them anymore.
I haven’t needed anything for my garden in a couple years because many of my plants just keep coming back, but when I do require something I will always stop here FIRST. If they don’t have it, they will tell you when/​if they expect to get what you need and you can come back and be assured that you will be getting the best specimens and that they were handled with care before you bought them.
When you walk in, you’ll find one of these nice ladies either working with a customer or caring for the plants. Never just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. Always helping out or doing something around the nursery. They will help you with whatever you need. Specific questions, general care of any plant, even if they don’t sell it, and they’re even nice enough to give advice to you on gardening care at home or about trees or plants that you already have. What I’m trying to say here is, their customer service is top notch and goes above and beyond what you’d expect from a business because caring for plants isn’t just their business, it’s obviously a hobby and a labor of love for them and that is why you need to start HERE when you need something for your garden.
