H.J. Benken Florist & Garden Center

Everything was great except the arrangement I received I would expect to pay $60, as opposed to the $130 it costs.

Ordered the flowers 5 days in advance for my wife's birthday. There's different options you can choose for shipping; I choose the Timed Delivery. This is supposed to mean that you pick the date and time (which you pay extra for) for the flowers to be delivered. I said I would like them delivered May 18th between 9 am and 12 noon. I wanted them to be delivered earlier in the day because she was leaving on a business trip later in the day for a few days. 1 pm rolls around and I still haven't heard anything from her about getting flowers. Obviously, I wanted them to be a surprise, so I didn't want to spill the beans and ask her if the flowers came yet. So I decided to call the company. Talked with a nice lady there who told me that there was no indication on my receipt of the day and time, or that I even paid for the timed delivery. I'm not sure how this happened because on my receipt it clearly said "TIMED DELIVERY - Specify time, next day or after" and under that "May 18th - 9am to 12noon" for the time to be delivered. On top of that I was clearly charged extra for this in the "Shipping" column, as well as in my bank account. So at this point I was told that I would be called back when they figure out what was going on. Two and a half hours go by and I haven't heard from they so I called back. I get put on hold again and she comes back and says that the flowers where just delivered. At this point I had to tell my wife about everything so she ended up having to wait at work later to wait for the flowers. So an extra charge and 4 hours late. Flowers did look great, though, but I will definitely not be going there again and I will not be recommending them to any one else.

Excellent! They were flowers in the flower arrangement!

, wELL, i BELIEVE.UNABLE TO CONFIRM ALL THREE.

They were very professional and the flowers were gorgeous.

I visited HJ Benken's website, along with a few others, and found Benken's to be the most easily navigated. They also provided more of the type of arrangement I was looking for, something for my friend to keep throughout the season and plant in her yard if she so chose. The website displayed beautiful photos of a small and very reasonably priced basket, but I chose to send the larger basket that did not have a corresponding photo. I was hoping it would be appropriate for the price difference. After filling out the online request, I accidentally omitted the delivery date. Their call to me to verify delivery was prompt and courteous. I also received an email verification of my entire order for my review. When my friend called to tell me she received the basket, she was overjoyed. It was absolutely beautiful with large, bright, cheerful and seasonal plants. She sent me a photo, and I was very pleased with it and so glad I chose to send the larger planter. It was fabulous!

They did a very good job. They were really terrific.

I buy my plants there a few times a year. Good selection of indoor plants.

It went fantastic! Definitely satisfied!

COMPARTE PRICING - I'M SURE THEY WOULD WORK WITH YOU.

My shopping experiences as Benken Garden Center are always enjoyable.

John has some very good ideas, as to what to put in the garden. They were putting it in, in very hot weather. So it took them a little longer, because of the heat. Which was fine. I love what John did, next season it should look even better, hoping it will fill in. I would have them back again.

They were wonderful, the flowers were beautiful, as well as delivered on time too.

Everything has gone great. They are friendly, easy to work with. No issues.

I always enjoy my expeditions to their nursery and often find unexpected treasures.

The flowers arrived on time and were great however my wife commented the next day that they were dying. She called in, Benken was extremely apologetic and responsive, asked only for the old arrangement to be left out so they could assess the problem while they dropped off a new arrangement. The new arrangement lasted well into the new week and she loved it. We're prone to use businesses in the neighborhood and we'll continue to do so for flower arrangements and their greenhouse for hanging baskets and perennials/annuals around the home. Benken is pricier than alternatives but we appreciate the quality of the product and their responsiveness.

We had trouble getting someone to come over for our estimate, but he was very helpful when he came. Our appointment was scheduled later in the year than we had hoped. They arrived on time and worked hard to get everything done. They cleaned up completely, both our yard and any of their things. On the expensive side, but very good work.

We have used them in our business, but not at our home. Overall it went fine. They are very good. I don't have a lot of comparisons for their price. We have an ongoing contract with them, so we will continue to use them.

The planter was beautiful. The others that chipped in couldn't believe the size of the arrangement for the price we paid.

We have used Benken for landscaping for several years, beginning with creating four beds around the house and installing bushes, perennials, and small trees; we lost some small bushes and plants in the hard winter so hired them to replace some plants and add annuals. It took several weeks for them to schedule this work but they came when promised and did a good job.

I've been very pleased with their work. They're very trustworthy and they always do a great job. I feel very comfortable with the people who work there. I would highly recommend them.

They came out twice to consult and find out what we as homeowners were interested in doing. What I really appreciated was they came up with a very detailed work plan so we were all on the same page before the work even began to avoid miscommunication (this was in the fall). Since we planned this work out a few months before hand he also let us know that if one plant wasn't available at that time what other plant would go in. They had very good follow through and they were definitely professional. They clearly have been doing this work for years. The approximate cost listed was for the tree removal, planting, bed work, etc. which was a large project.

We love them and our yard looks great! They incorporated our existing trees and plants in order to save some dollars and were extremely enjoyable to work with. When some of the arborvitaes ended up with insects, they were replaced at no charge. We continue to visit Benken's greenhouse on a regular basis!

HJ Benken always has great quality plants, flowers, and trees. It's a pleasure to visit there. It's worth signing up for their monthly email to get the coupons. Their prices may be a little more, but the variety and quality are unsurpassed.
