Mahoney's Garden Center

Okay, so Mahoney's is a little pricey, but they have nearly everything you could conceivably want to grow in Massachusetts. This location is massive. It's like plant wonderland. I learn about a different kind of plant every time I visit. Every worker I've interacted with over several years worth of visits has been pleasant. There's usually always someone strong around to help lift the heavy stuff, too, which I appreciate when I need a bunch of bags of soil or mulch. This plant store makes me happy. I almost always come out with more plants than I planned to.

Wonderful Place for relaxing and shopping flowers and more this place very clean and wonderful staff, I can recommend for whole family

Keep an eye on the plants you pick from the mini plants section. I realised the 2inch Maiden hair vine plant I picked up was infested with aphids. Examine well before you pick up anything. I was too excited to find a wish list plant of mine and didn't do my checks. Spent the last couple of hours washing if off with water. Let's hope the aphids don't come back or get on my other plants.

The other kalanchoe I picked up is healthy. Edit- I noticed webbing on my maiden hair vine today and it's spidermites. Try not to buy anything from this store unless you want an infestation. Contemplating tossing the plant out.

We just moved and were looking for some plants to bring life to our new place. Mahoney's is easy to get to on the bus (literally stops right in front), and we were pleased that's it's a decent size with a fair amount of variety. It did seem understaffed, which is why I gave it 4 stars, and most employees were pretty busy so it was hard to get someone to answer our questions.

The first person we asked didn't seem interested in helping us, but the second was super-friendly and potted all our plants (pretty good deal for the $ if you don't want to turn your apartment into a mess of dirt) Just note that shipping in the area is a flat $40, even if you're just having a few plants sent to Allston, but at least they offer shipping, and it's worth it on larger orders

Amazing place! Great selection. So many varieties in so many colors! It's always a treat to shop here, and help and advice is always present. Only problem: the flowers sell so fast! One has to make a few visits to discover the full potential of this place.

A good place to buy plants. It is pretty big and the people there are very helpful. I was trying to find cat pawl there, they are out of stock, but they are nice people. They have a cat sleeping in the front door, very cute.

LINDA in the florist area was terrific. She was able to find a cemetery vase, arranged a bouquet Of flowers, and even added water. Wonderful experience

It's a pretty amazing place this time of year. The indoor flower area is intoxicating. Everyone is really helpful and honest if they don't know an answer. I was able to ask specific questions about the plants I was having trouble with. Absolutely worth the trip. I wish they had more selection of the Muck Chores boys in my size, but i think I got there late for mud season.

Mahoney's outdid themselves when we ordered our funeral arrangements and casket pieces from them in November. The arrangements were spectacular, and easily less expensive than almost any other place you might think of. They were beautiful works of art easily 2' wide and 2' tall, and we can't thank Nancy and the Winchester team enough for their kindness and attention to detail. Stop thinking about Winston's- these were every bit as gorgeous! I hope more people will realize that Mahoney does these kinds of flowers, and does them well.

Your Greenhouse is a wonderful place to "walk through" on a cold, windy January day. Beautiful plants are a sign Spring isn't too far off. Bought 2 pretty, colorful Primrose plants and some seeds to start indoors.

Beautiful place, but super over priced. I got a string of lights that was double what I paid for the same brand at Target (and when I brought them home half of them didn't work and the extra bulbs were missing.) I was easily able to exchange them, thankfully.

Giant gorgeous tree, check. Tons of xmas themed accents, check. Playing the grinch over the loud speaker, check. This places checks all my boxes! And i hear later in the season there might be reindeer?! 5 starsssss!

Wonderful store with knowledgeable staff and excellent selection of plants, pots, and plant furniture. Particular praise goes to Amanda (I think that's her name), a young employee from Arizona. We brought in 2 pieces of cactus from a large, years old plant that our cat knocked over. We came just seeking advice, but Amanda did so much more. She carefully repotted the 2 cactus fragments.

She scored the base of both cacti, applied rooting powder, made a soil mixture appropriate for the plant, and advised us on a watering schedule. She reported a particular interest and knowledge about cacti, growing up in Arizona. WOW!

Beware of pestsI love Mahoney's and have been coming here for years, but lately they've been letting a mealybug infestation run amok in their greenhouse. Check your pileas/pepperomia/creeping fig plants really carefully before bringing them home!

It's a beautiful place! A garden full of variety of flowering trees and herbs and big trees. I love the place. There are plenty of free parking space.

Decent overall first experience at Mahoneys. Main downside was that the staff seemed very reluctant to help customers. Prices seemed okay not great for what was being sold and so far no issues with what we bought

The Mahoney's in Brighton is hit and miss. Many of the staff members can't answer simple questions about plants! I was there the other day and tried to ask a woman when they might expect a new lettuce shipment (since their selection was not very desirable) and she snapped at me and said "I don't know" and then kept walking. RUDE. The Mahoney's in Winchester is generally pretty good, although a lot of the staff members there seem a bit on the miserable side and a little cranky. Seems this is a garden center thing!

****WARNING**** Mahoney's does not stay true to their word on their 30-day policy. AVOID WASTING YOUR MONEY. I was reassured over the phone that my dead plant (lasted 5 days) would be refunded or exchanged without a receipt if I bought it under my account. I bought my hydrangea and within less than a week of purchase it died. When I brought it in to exchange, at the register I was told to go to the indoor part of Mahoney's to retrieve a new hydrangea for an exchange.

I was met with a female employee and manager at the door. I was asked abrasively what happened right away without even helping me find where to locate the hydrangea. The first time I bought the hydrangea it was outdoors. The manager who is extremely rude told me I killed the plant and didn't water the plant (which isn't true) and no refund or exchange was possible.

He then reached over grabbed the leaves of the plant and crunched them and said "Look its crunchy, its dead, you killed it" in front of everybody in the store. As a woman, I feel like no other woman should be treated like that by a man in front of anyone regardless of the circumstances. I asked for his name because I believe this "manager" needs to be reviewed for his behavior.

His method of handing the situation is to belittle the customer and say they're wrong & to not abide by the stores policy. He choked up when I asked for his name and he said it was "Juanito". I honestly do not believe that was his real name just by the way he responded. So, I went back to the front and asked for his real name and found out its Gilbert.

So here we have a manager who is extremely rude, giving false names because he knows he's wrong for what he did. This place is a joke. I will never go back & after reading previous reviews it seems as though I am not the only one having this same issue. This place needs to be investigated.

Me and my lady like to go here on nice weekends. It's bright, open and spacious, with a huge variety of healthy plants. The staff is pleasant and during the pandemic all safety precautions are being responsibly taken.

They do not stand behind their products. Their 1 year warrantee is worthless. Very unhelpful management.

Just back from the garden center - made a special trip to head there. once again the staff are so unhelpful and seem MISERABLE. Will just keep shopping at Winstons.,,

(My photos are from August btw) I haven't been to all the Mahoneys locations but this one is HUGEEEEE! It's 3 greenhouses big: 1 greenhouse has outdoor stuff & planters, other 2 are houseplants! Lots of hanging plants and big adult plants. They also have a grey tabby cat wandering around too, she's friendly but not a huge fan of pets. she just likes independent exploring and hunting chipmunks as seen in my last photo!

I and my wife totally love this place. Store has wide variety of healthy plants (tropical, indoor and outdoor) and gardening supplies such as soil and other things you may need for your plants. The Christmas trees are always beautiful, their indoor garden collection is nice and they always have the right plants for the occasion! During Christmas season, store was sparkling, colorful and festive mood with Christmas decorations. Highly recommend it! Truly, this place is Plant lovers paradise! Check out the pics :)

Amazing selection of tropicals and herbs (I came mostly for the houseplants). They've got Fox Farms/Coast of Maine/ Black & Gold soil, big bags of perlite & vermiculite, insecticide, many pots (both decorative and Terra cotta), fertilizers of all kinds, but no coco coir.

The plants and supplies here are so nicely priced. You can find good quality plants for your home without breaking the bank. The store is organized with arrows on the ground to enforce social distancing and limit the traffic. The staff is pretty helpful in answering questions and are always wearing masks. And transporting your plants is easy since they give you cardboard holders to take with you. Free parking lot for the business as well!

It was a bit of a wait to get into the nursery due to COVID, but I'm so happy with all of the plants I got! This is a great place to go if you're looking for a good selection of house plants at a fairly reasonable price. Some plants definitely looked more healthy than others, but not a problem during shopping if you know what to look for.

Staff was being rude and not friendly and the price is not cheap. You can find the same plant in Home Depot for better price.

Unbelievably horrible and brash customer service. I bought 2 dozen small outdoor plants. 4 didn't make it (within a week or so). I was hoping for an even exchange (even Home Depot does that!) I spoke to a extremely nasty and abrasive manager who said it was my fault, plants don't die on their own and refused to make the exchange. I asked if customer service meant anything to him (as I showed my multiple receipts from my purchases) and he literally said no, he didn't care!

He walked away and when I asked for his name, he wouldn't give it to me and told the cashiers not to either. I have never been dissed so bad by a "family" business. BTW, can't seem to find a company customer service email or phone number so I guess they really don't care.

DO NOT GO HERE. The general manager (John, Josh, James?) was extremely rude. When I explained my plant died after a few weeks and I wanted to exchange, he complained I didn't take care of it properly and gave me mean comments. Other staffs were nice and I feel bad they have to work for him.

I think this is by far the highest quality, best selection, most helpful garden center in or reasonably near Boston. They have great plants that are high quality and guaranteed, which I find very valuable. The staff here is amazing and kind, they always help my mother and are friendly with her. They have great seasonal options. The succulent section is massive and diverse.

The orchid are some of the best I've seen. There are some great outdoor stuff too like pots and statuary. I've gone for 4$ succulents and for getting 60 feet of hedging for my house, or even for 20ft tall bamboo! Great place to kill a hour and spend 100$.

Just had the worst experience at Mahoney's, don't think we'll be going back. My wife and I wanted to buy many pots and plants for our farmer's porch. The two cashiers were really friendly and got someone to help us. The woman who attempted to "help" us was extremely rude. Upon meeting us she stated that there was a truck she needed to help unload, I asked if someone else could help us, she said no, and that she would in fact "help" us.

I started asking questions about which pots and plants would work in our space, she stated that they don't do design work at this location, that we should go to Winchester. There were also lots of other rude remarks about them being understaffed, it being July (guess we shouldn't shop in July), etc. We ended up thanking her for her time and we left. Think we'll be going to Wagon Wheel from now on. It's a shame, I've had better experiences at Mahoney's, but won't be going back again.

If you're a plant lover like me, this is yo place! Mahoney's is a huge complex that sells an extensive collection of both indoor and outdoor plants/flowers. My friend and I came here to buy some new succulents but easily spent over an hour ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the overwhelming amount of plants sold here. And it is not just the plants/flowers that are impressive, they also a collection of decorative plant pots/containers for sale as well as a section where you can find all your gardening tools/ necessities.

This is the one-stop place to go for all your gardening needs! The hardest part is definitely restraining yourself from buying everything (the plants are a tad on the pricier side), but it just alludes to the high quality of the plants sold here. Can't forget to mention that this place also serves as the perfect background for some aesthetic pictures since every corner of this place is absolutely a plant lover's dream! Definitely worth checking out :)

This place is HUGE! Of course, it is July so I understand it would be more barren in other seasons most likely but this place exceeded our expectations. They have so many plants with various indoor and outdoor plant options. We were on the hunt for indoor plants and had more than enough to choose from. Mid sized plants ranged from 13-30 dollars with very larger ones exceeding the 160 dollar range.

Thought the large cacti were overpriced overall as I have seen some at other shops that are cheaper and come with a nice planter (these all come with just the standard plastic pot, but they do sell lots of planters which are quite pretty but can get pricey quickly). Overall the place was still great and would recommend for standard indoor ferns or midsized plants most and also for small succulents as they had many. Depotting a small plant into a pot we purchased was $2 (the guy didn't mention the price when we asked if they depotted. just handed us the paper with the charge which was strange but he was overall very nice except for that instance). We will be back as they had so many options and a vast parking lot.

I was raised by a tree-lover, so Garden Center's were a regular stop for me growing up. I am impressed that such a large facility is able to exist in the dead of winter in Boston, but that being said, it very clearly was the dead of winter for Mahoney's. Inside is your run-of-the-mill greenhouse, but outside was a graveyard of dead plants, knocked over garden materials (it basically looked like a dump).

We made our way in for some succulents, and thankfully there was a good selection. Unfortunately, the employees we had questions for were not too helpful when it came to green thumb starter advice. For the basics, this is a good stop. For the expertise, I'd recommend a larger commercial chain (Home Depot is amazing!)

Easy and mid sized parking lot, with snow it was easy to miss the entrance but do keep eye out for their big ENTRANCE sign so you don't hit the curb or anything. I am easily intimidated so I didn't really mind the employees not greeting me or asking me if I needed help. They seemed friendly to the other customers that needed help. This location is in Brightons so there's that city people thing.

I was here for succulents and cacti so I can only speak to those. I would say good collection, they have gollum jades for $5-$6. Ovata jades. Cacti looked good but I'm not really into cacti. Saw maybe one or two Ming things. Didn't see anything cool like astrophytums. Succulents: the lithops were in bad shape, and only one head in each pot. Forgot to check prices.

They had these extra big echeverias and haworthias in fancy pots. Showstopper stuff. They have smaller succulents like sedum, pachyveria, echeveria, one fuzzy gray kalanchoe. Some pink edged aloes. Aloe veras. I picked a haworthia cymbiformis $3.98. No pests anywhere, no webs no mites. Nice pots too, they have glazed ones and unglazed normal ones. (They have more variation in sizes for the unglazed normal ones than big box stores or craft stores and I appreciate that when it comes to potting succulents) Go to their website and sign up for reward membership.
