Large inventory, great staff and service.

I absolutely love Ganim’s ! The selection of plants is incredible. Kevin is beyond knowledgeable and took the time to help even in despite of the Mother’s Day chaos. The plant education here is great—I’ve learned so much every time I visit. The staff overall is friendly and welcoming, and the entire place is well-organized. I’ve transformed my yard thanks to their guidance and beautiful plants. Highly recommend to anyone with a green thumb or just getting started!

My family and I have been listening to Lee on WICC for years. He and his family/staff have been extremely knowledgeable and helpful to support me with all things horticultural. Thank you Lee and staff!!

I’ve been coming to Ganim’s Garden Center in Fairfield since I was a child, and their plant selection has always been unmatched. Yesterday, I returned to find a tree replacement for my front yard and, as always, was impressed by the quality and variety available. The staff member I spoke with was courteous—though initially a bit unsure about my plan to purchase a tree and have it picked up separately—but that didn’t deter me. I went ahead and purchased a stunning weeping willow, and my gardener picked it up and installed it perfectly.Ganim’s continues to offer top-tier service and plants, and I highly recommend them to anyone who values quality, expertise, and a garden center that truly stands the test of time.

A big shout out to Ganim’s! Dino was so considerate and accommodating with my broken ankle situation. He selected a few trees for me ahead of time and I got to look at them from my car. Now this is customer service!

21:07 21 Oct 24

Beautiful plant quality- amazingly knowledgeable staff!

20:38 11 Sep 24

Can't say enough about Merrilee and her team. I gave her very little direction for my wedding table arrangements other than colors and I wanted a wreath around candles. The arrangements were absolutely beautiful, more then I could have hoped for. My bouquet was stunning and the arch we rented was perfection. At the last minute we went from 9 tables to 10 but I forgot to tell Merrilee. After they set up all the flowers on the tables she said you told me nine tables there are 10. Well the look on my face must have said it all. Her response no worries we're going to run back make you another arrangement and bring it back and that is just what they did! Wow if that's not service I don't know what is! Highly recommend.

Ladies Night at Ganims what a wonderful experience. Lots of local artists, vendors and people that make Fairfield special. Thank you for arranging this!

18:19 29 May 23

Ganim's did a wonderful job redesigning the landscape around our foundation. Kevin was very understanding of our situation and took the time to walk me through the options and what would work best. My wife and I are very pleased with the results and highly recommend Ganim's. Thank you for all your help Kevin!

19:32 09 May 23

Always ready to help. Great select.

We adore Ganim’s, firstly there is always a beautiful range of plants to choose from. Then there is the family friendly experience.. they always make time for my kids and helping us to choose the right plants and help us to understand how to care for them. They also offer me non toxic options which is hugely important for our family. Highly recommended ****

Visited for the first time yesterday and was utterly impressed!! The place just keeps on going LOL you think you’ve reached the end of their selection.. “but wait, there’s more!!” My boyfriend and I met the owner who was nothing but welcoming and had a great conversation with KEVIN! He was extremely informative and helped us navigate the rows of flowers to what I was looking for. We will be back, thank you!!

One of my favorite Nurseries,knowledgeable staff,big selection,many exotics. Pleasure to deal with them.

01:25 27 May 20

Went in today and spent an hour with Kevin. Let me start by saying this, probably the most knowledgeable sales person I’ve ever met. He explained everything in detail and put serious thought into his guidance for me. I showed him a picture of my landscape, and walked out an hour later, with exactly what I wanted. The best part was, he made sure to stay in my budget, and made sure I didn’t spend money where I didn’t need too. They’ve really earned my business. Can’t wait to see the results in a few weeks.

19:14 24 May 20

I have gotten plants from the big box stores nearby and other smaller nurseries, but Ganin's plants always do the best. Every year now I just go there and I am thrilled with the results. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. Also, they have a great variety. They are marked for one-way traffic and safe distancing for customers.

I am a 2nd generation Ganim customer. My mother started shopping here when we moved to Fairfield in the early 80s. You will not find better service or knowledge at any other garden center! The Ganims know what they are talking about and they have an amazing variety year round! From annuals to perennials to Christmas trees and handmade wreaths, Ganims has it all. Love shopping here!

15:54 21 May 20

22:36 14 May 20

Ganim’s is my “go-to” garden canter! (It’s actually more like my secret home from April through October!)Everyone there is knowledgeable-and they have a wonderful selection of plants that will grow well-and easily in this area!

They are very informative and friendly. They have beautiful plants, trees and floral arrangements. I bought a tree for a friend. They sold me the battery operated lights that are on it.

22:53 23 Jul 19

I used Ganim’s as the florist for my wedding. Merrilee at Ganim’s is so amazing. She is willing to work with you within your budget and even came to our wedding in person to repurpose flowers from our ceremony. The flower arrangements were gorgeous and I fully trusted her with all of the choices.

20:49 17 May 19

Absolutely love this local nursery!The staff here are very knowledgeable and were able to help out a plant noob like me and shared their knowledge about indoor plants. They have a great variety of seeds and saplings and everything Garden related.

Looked all over connecticut for Provence Lavender plants and no one had them, Garmin's did, 8 of them and I bought them all. I will be going back next week for more.

I would like to thank Ganim's Garden Center and Florist for the beautiful sprayprovided for my father's funeral.We had many compliments from numerous guests .Merrilee and her staff are true artists. Gratefully, Jon Ripka and family. ❤

Very knowledgeable and has a great selection. Bought boxwoods and they showed us different types and differnent sizes.

04:44 17 Jul 17

20:40 24 Apr 17

Best customer service around!! We went to Ganims to choose 2 perennials for the front of our house. We asked Kevin if he had "a couple minutes to answer a question." He not only answered the question, but he went into details and depth that provided us with an education on how to continue to make informed choices. He spent as much time and energy with us as if we'd hired him to landscape our whole property personally.

23:48 21 Jun 16

Bought a cherry tree and some tomatoes and all my questions were answered that I had regarding the tree. Much better than the home depot down the street which is a huge mess.

Leslie Silverman

21:10 27 Aug 15

Wonderful experience today and great customer service. Used them to send a rose bush to a friend for a special occasion. The plant was beautiful, they were very prompt and responsive to my inquiry, and pricing was very reasonable. Couldn't be happier.

I have done business with Lee Ganim's for at least 20 years and these are Good Peopledependable knowledgeable and ready to do business their inventory is second to nonein the area.if you have a project or need landscape service you will be very satisfied in choosing themfor the job I recommend you Stop by take a minute to make a new friend buy some plantsmeet the staff and make your yard and landscape dream come true

21:29 03 Aug 13

Being a real professional means that the customer isn't always right. If you ask a doctor to amputate your arm and your arm is perfectly healthy, he or she is supposed to say "no."Whenever I go to buy something and get talked out of doing so by a person who would have profited from my purchase, I'm impressed.Today I was impressed by the professionalism at Ganim's and thought that since they didn't profit from their professionalism, the least I could do was help them with this review.Smaller local businesses need to be supported for many reasons, not the least of which is the professionalism and honesty that one often finds in many (but not all by any means) small family-owned businesses.
