Great inventory. We had a lot of questions and they took the time to answer and help provide recommendations. Highly recommend! Ivan came out to install the plants and was incredibly friendly

Highly recommend spirit lake garden center for all your plant/tree needs. Ivan was very knowledgeable and his team was great. Prices were very reasonable. Thank you for installing the privacy shrubs for our yard!!

I couldn’t be happier with the customer service and installation. Wife and I went to the nursery and were met by a very knowledgeable employee. We knew what we wanted in terms of plants. We didn’t know there were three or more variations of both plants. Had we gone to a big box store, we may not have gotten the version we needed. After further discussion, we had them install the plants, fabric and mulch. I’m a pretty handy guy but the cost of the installation was so reasonable, I’d be crazy to not allow the experts to do the job. Communication was great, they showed up on time, did a great job and cleaned up the area. I’d recommend them to anyone.

I just started fixing my yard with Lily, Robert and crew as they installed several Palms and Bahia Sod grass. It’s several weeks later and I’m still very happy with the results. Everyone has been professional and friendly and the prices were fair. They took care during the installation to make sure it was done right. I’ll continue to work with Spirit Lake Garden

Spirit Lake Nursery changed my ivy covered dead boxwoods to a flowering wonderland. I wish I had before pictures so you see the transformation. Lily, the designer, is very easy to work with. I’ve had Lily back to transform my overgrown lackluster gardens to a bright garden that you want to sit outside and enjoy. The cost is very reasonable, you get a lot of bang for your buck. I highly recommend Spirit Lake Nursery for all of your gardening needs. Thank you Lily for everything.

Cecilla is amazing every time we come to the nursery for the past 3 years. And she knows everything of the plants that she has available. Her customer service is impeccable and goes above and beyond to assist us. Brian and Nicky

I over love SLGC! I’ve been a customer for nearly 5 years and have purchased all my plants from here. They are by far the best this side of I-4 and you’ll never be disappointed.

This is the best place to get trees, shrubs and flowers! Any plants you can’t think of! Lily and her husband are awesome, they help you find the right plant for the right spot to ensure it grows well. They also installed our neighbor’s palm trees at a very reasonable price. I love how our house looks because of the flowers, shrubs and trees that we purchased from Lily over the past few years. I highly recommend that you visit them soon!

I was looking for a beautiful palm for the front of my house for months. I did a lot of research to find the perfect one online I was unsuccessful. The trees i was finding were very small and unhealthy and very expensive.

While working, I drove by spirit nursery and saw the tree of my dreams! I made a u turn, went in and was greeted by Lily. She showed me all the options i asked for and in less than 10 min was quoted for tree removal, delivery and planting of my new tree. The price was right and it’s already planted looking perfect! Thanks Lily and spirit nursery! ❤️

We have gotten quite a few plants there. The owners are terrific!!!! They have a great selection of plants. The owners quit coming to nursery. We were told twice by an employee that barely speaks english that the owner would be there on two occasions. The owner wasn’t there either time. We asked the employee if they had certain plants that we were looking for. She didn’t understand what we were saying. That nursery is ok for buying plants that are there and not ok if you ask about a certain type.

Drove 45 minutes to come see this garden center to find they were not open. Their hours showed they were supposed to be open and there was nothing listed anywhere that they were closing early. Very disappointing

I went to Spirit Lake Garden Center and it was a wonderful experience! They have everything very nice and organized. The owner Lily was very welcoming, pleasant, knowledgeable and took her time to personally help me, answered all my questions, gave me suggestions, advice in how to take care of my plants and what plants would work better for my yard. Prices are fair and lots of choices. Plants look healthy and well taken care of. I would highly recommend this place to buy your plants and trees. I always feel welcomed when I go there.

Last month, all I could get on the phone was AI. It blocks you AND lies to you. It says ‘ all spirit lakes phone agents are busy with others’ presumably on the phone as well…. No way . Not for a solid hour just now and two straight hours in one stretch last month. Last month I couldn’t get one two second call answered by a real person… so was forced to drive from Lakeland to find a sweet older lady ( only one there)… no other customers present on the grounds ( I had a hard time actually finding even her….) …. And she said she was sorry she didn’t hear the phone. I asked if she had been with other customers in the last couple of hours, she indicated she had not, but was tending plants. She’s out in the field. No one man’s the phones except insulting fake people who robotically say “ I don’t have access to that information “ and hang up on you if you respond to anything besides “ I can take your info or you can call back in ten minutes”. ( that’s what it says over & over) so I called every ten minutes…. The robots apparently lie. The one employee on site has zero intentions of answering their phones. Even if they are there and this apparently a pattern by which the garden is run. If you live 5 min away…. Just drive there. If you want to know if they have a certain flower….and live 30 minutes away…. Just go somewhere else.

We went here to ask about Hedges for our yard not knowing what kind to plant, Lily helped us with everything we needed. She was is so nice, knowledgeable, energetic and explained everything she showed to us, we wound up buying 10 bushes that are beautiful and actually left with 10 more other plants for our yard. Can’t say enough about how happy we are with their whole crew, from Lily, Kenny and the 2 men who delivered our plants 2 hours later as we had no way to get them home. All plants and prices were great!! I would highly recommend Spirit Lake Garden Center for any of your landscaping projects, thanks for a wonderful experience.

All of the plants are very well maintained, and in excellent condition. Tom was extremely knowledgeable of the trees we were wanting, and helped us load them all up. We chatted a bit about how we wanted to take some plants to Texas with us, and he even gifted us a Texas Sage bush when we were leaving. It’s been so long since we’ve met such an authentic and genuinely kind business owner, and it truly shows in the way that they treat their buyers. I couldn’t say enough kind things about this nursery.

Great place. One of the best gardens that we had visit. They have all kinds of plants from banana trees to magnolias. Service is personalized and with a lot of knowledge behind them. Friendly environment and the plants are well taken care off.

Great guy ! Very knowledgable about his plants and after transplanting they thrived immediately. I was even able to to give him the square footage I needed covered and he was able to tell me how many plants I needed. I will be coming back for all my plant needs as well as recommending to anyone I know.

Tom was very helpful in picking out my tree. I had one I had grown from a seed and it bloomed after 4 years. I lost my husband and couldn’t keep 2.5 acres up so wanted one in his memory at my new place. Tom helped me the whole way. Very caring people
