Merrifield Garden Center

Nice array of plants, but I went in there a WEEK before Halloween, hoping to get some Halloween decor or at least Fall decor. And the entire decoration section is filled with Christmas stuff! I would've bought Fall decor if it was appropriately stocked for the current season! And it really cheapens the feeling of Christmas to have it rushed so far in advance like that. So soulless and corporate.

Merrifield Garden Center continues to outshine all the rest. Amazing selection of both indoor and outdoor plants with stock constantly coming in. A seasonal area (huge, both indoor and out) that is an experience in itself. A wild bird department filled with feeders and seeds. All this, topped off with helpful, knowledgeable staff, makes it the best nursery in the DC area.

Merrifield is the Best because of people like Victor and Pedro! Quality Customer Service, Quality Customer Service and Quality Customer Service. We bought an high quality hose caddy which somehow had a problem with the garden hose connector. With HD and/or Lowes, we would have tossed it in the garbage and winced at the cost. With Merrifield, they fixed it with a blow torch and a smile. Thank you Victor and Pedro. Merrifield Forever!!!

I am very disappointed with my experience at Merrifield Garden Center in Falls Church. In 2024, I purchased $670 worth of shrubs and had them professionally planted. Within a couple of months, the shrubs looked burned and began to die. I returned with one of the plants and was told they had not been properly scored before planting. However, when I first purchased them, the roots were extremely compacted and hard as a rock in the containers. I was given a credit and decided to try again, but unfortunately the same issue happened not once, but two more times. Despite having lived in my home for 30 years with extensive landscaping and a full irrigation system, every attempt ended with the plants dying within a couple of months. I understand their one-year replacement policy has expired, but I am very disappointed in both the quality of the shrubs and the response to my recent call. Merrifield was not open to any replacement, and the only resolution offered was to transfer me to the Plant Clinic. After three failed attempts, I cannot recommend their shrubs or their customer service.

Bought our first real Christmas tree here today and could not be happier with the great service - from carrying the tree to get trimmed, to the rolling it out to the car and strapping it to the roof all within 10minutes. So easy, so fast and friendly, which when with a toddler, makes life so much easier. The trees are about double what we paid at lots in the past, but I would still come back for the good service ($190 for an 8ft tree). Looks good in the stand so far too! Hoping it lasts a month :)
