First went to Lurveys as part of a benefit for Wright Way Rescue in Morton Grove. I came back the next day with my husband because of the great sale that was being held, and we left with one large plant, and 4 large pots. Would definitely come back in the spring for more purchases.

Love this plant nursery. They offer so many kinds of plants, and they are maintained beautifully. Most of all, they have several people on staff just to answer your questions, so it's very rare that I need to wait when I want to ask questions. Also, they are SO knowledgeable!!

Lurvey’s is completely worth the 20-25 miles you may travel to get here. The selection and quality of their hard and soft scape is remarkable. Super helpful staff, very knowledgeable. If you want something unique for a space or whole yard, you’ll find it here. Highly recommend!

Above and beyond!I love to shop at Lurvey❤️❤️❤️They have everything you want for your garden; flowers, plants, soils, rocks, pots, outdoor furnitures, etc. Furthermore, their staffs are very helpful and knowledgeable. They can help you find flowers and plants you want. They can explain how to take care each flowers and they also can recommend good plant that suit your needs.All seasonal flowers are available both annual and perennial. Literally any flowers you want they have them all.I like to buy my plants and flowers here. The price might be a little higher than other places but I’m confident that I get good and healthy flowers. I noticed that the roots are much more healthier than other places. It’s good for replanting in your garden.I highly recommend to apply to be royalty member. You will get update emails about all the promotions and tips how to take care your plants. I always get discounts here and there when I shop there.

Updating my review to 5 stars because Lurvey has knocked it out of the park when it comes to their service. No more concerns about grumpy people at checkout for me. Everyone throughout this store is helpful and pleasant and kind.I love this store! I find myself there at least twice a week to buy perennials, shrubs, houseplants, and even early this season I purchased trees. Without a doubt the quality of the plants are exceptional. My only concern is the grumpy older woman who is a cashier. I've had the unfortunate experience of getting her three times in the last month and she has the personality of a thumbtack. The first encounter I asked for two cardboard trays for the several plants I purchased so they could sit upright in the car. She told me there weren't any. I could clearly see there were several made up trays on a table but she told me I could only have a plastic sheet. When I explained the trays would prevent the plant containers from tipping over, you would have thought I was asking for free money. She begrudgingly gave me two boxes. She is so unpleasant that the next time I will wait until another cashier is available just so I don't have to encounter her again. The other cashiers at least know how to engage with customers.

First time at your garden center and was pleasantly surprised! Not only were there more plants to choose from that I have not found at other garden centers, but the prices were even better.

I had the pleasure of working with Paula. What a sweet, kind and patient woman to help me on my first run to Lurvey. She was very knowledgeable and helped me choose which flowers to buy! Thank you Paula!

First time I tried Lurvey. Pleased with service and delivery. Had 100 impatiens delivered. Waited a month to post this review and have to say I’m disappointed with some of the product. I plant these every year and one color batch just isn’t doing anything. I’ve tried loving them but I’m not getting the love back. Bought other flowers and those are all okay. But will have to reconsider if I’ll try having flowers delivered. So mixed review.

Lurvey's is a must for any homeowner who wants high quality plants and hardscape bundled with the friendliest staff around.We were relandscaping the entire front of our home and Lurvey's was our one stop shop. We got advise on shrubs, sunlight needs, and even how to protect new plantings from the lovable cicadas.We are extremely happy with the outcome and much appreciated the service and selection at Lurvey's.

This was our first time shopping at Lurvey and it will be the start of a long relationship. They have everything for making your home beautiful inside and out and their customer service is outstanding! So glad we made the decision to buy our flowers from them.

I was gifted a very generous amount to Lurvey from my daughter. I was like a kid in a candy store!!I was there for hours looking and choosing. So much fun! I came home with three flowering bushes and a ton of smaller perennials. I couldn’t wait to get my hands dirty in the garden, and had them all planted the same day. This was early spring during our warm spell. Two months later, everything is thriving. Not a single dud. I will be back!!

Purchased three Alpine Currant shrubs. They were all nicely developed and are doing well so far. Lurveys was one of the few places to have these in stock. Staff was also very helpful!

I was looking for an unusual perennial plant - sure enough they had it to my delight. They are very helpful and knew exactly the plant that I was looking for, led me right to the assortment of that plant and put a smile on my face. I'll definitely be back.

Michelle hand delivered a gift certificate to Lurvey’s for our daughter in law Stephanie in Park Ridge IL so that it would reach her in time for Mothers’ Day 2024. We live in Ripon WI and could not get down to Park Ridge for Mothers’ Day and Michelle made it possible for our daughter in law to have her gift in time. Wonderful service!Mary Kaye and Brian SmithRipon, WIMay 19, 2024

Love this place! Great selection of plants and flowers and their indoor area is beautiful. The help is top notch. My only complaint is the loud rock music. Takes away from the otherwise enjoyable experience.

Lurvey's is fantastic and is super efficiently run given the volume of business. So far our sod is doing well. You can really tell the freshness of Lurvey's sod compared to the chain stores.

Several years back we had a bluestone walk installed and recently I ran out of the bluestone screening that we used to replace between the stones when we needed it. Lurveys no longer carried it at the Des Plaines store, but Dave, from the hardscape desk, made arrangements to not only drive it from the Gurnee area to the Des Plaines store, but also delivered it to our door in Arlington Heights, at absolutely no additional cost. If I could give Dave 10 stars I would. Lurveys is amazing, and Dave deserves a raise. Thanks Dave!

I had a question regarding a plant that was mistagged at another Nursery. Lurvey’s went above and beyond in finding the information for me and also sent links regarding the plant.
I have gone to Lurvey’s for year and have seen how much it has grown, I will continue to get my plants and needs at Lurvey’s!

I found out about Lurvey's a year ago when I won a raffle gift from there. The staff is very helpful and the greenhouse is top notch. All the plants are so healthy and beautiful. I often go here to just look around their store and I always walk out with something! It's worth the trip, check it out...
