  Beautiful healthy plants here and priced reasonably! I will definitely recommend over any big box store. I will definitely be returning to this nursery.

  Laurie did 400 sq feet landscape designs for my front (April) and back (July) yards. Vince, their landscaper, did the planting. I have had blooms from April thru currently, mid Oct. My yard has been transformed. The plants are beautiful and thriving. We are very pleased. I highly recommend the Growing Place!

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars – A Gardener's Paradise! (September 2025) I stumbled upon The Growing Place while searching for unique native plants to spruce up my backyard, and wow—what a discovery! This isn't just a garden center; it's like stepping into a living, breathing dreamscape. The sprawling displays of perennials, shrubs, herbs, and organic veggies are so thoughtfully arranged that I spent over an hour just wandering and getting inspired. They had exactly the pollinator-friendly natives I was after, which you won't find at the big-box stores. A friendly expert spent 15 minutes chatting with me (a total newbie) about soil prep and companion planting without making me feel rushed or silly. Their knowledge is top-notch, and the family-friendly vibe—with play areas for kids and wagons for hauling pots—makes it a fun outing for everyone. Sure, prices are a tad higher than chain nurseries, but the quality and selection make it worth every penny. I've already recommended it to all my friends. If you're in Naperville, skip the ordinary and head here—your garden (and sanity) will thank you! Can't wait to return for their fall events. 🌿✨
