I went to swane's for a last minute Mother's Day present. Having no idea about plants I must have looked pretty lost which is when one of the older horticulturists approached me. I explained my situation and she was very helpful asking about my mother's garden, the types of plants she had how much sun it got and how often my mum tended to the garden, she then recommended a couple of plants that would do well. Having chose a plant I took it to the register and was pleasantly surprised when the sales assistant offered to gift wrap it. Although Swane's isn't the cheapest nursery around I am more than happy to pay for the fantastic service they offer, I will definitely be back there again

Approximate cost: $24.99

Great brands stocked but it was very pricey and the staff seemed to have more time to chat to each other about their weekend than help customers. I think the shop was presented well ad they had plenty of customers but don't think they were making the sales they could if they had decent customer service.

Approximate cost: $159.95
