Bell's Nursery - Anchorage, Alaska

A A

Oh man,
I absolutely LOVE Bell’s nursery but to the owners: PLEASE pick a different Santa and photographer next year. It was pretty bad appearance wise and the inexperienced photographer. Santa looked about 16 with fake hair and boxes stuffed in his chest while the photographer couldn’t figure out how to focus the camera. It took almost 30 min of refocusing as we were trying to keep a toddler in place who was super excited to see Santa and sat very well with a smile up until the 15 min mark. We really want to support Bell’s and figured you would have the best but it was so opposite that we just had to laugh. We have a very funny pic and memory but maybe next year we can get a nice one.
4 stars because we still love Bell’s!

I end up going back after I swear I will never return. I have to agree with the other bloggers that the staff at both the Cranberry and DeArmoun Rd locations are about the rudest retailers in town. The problem is that they are the only retailers of products that I do enjoy, See's candy being one of them.
I used to take my fuchsias (6 baskets) and begonias (4 baskets) there to winter over. I also used to order annual baskets. I did so for 3 years, paid in the fall. Then one year I went to pick them up and they were hosing them down before they were just left for me to carry to my truck. When I looked at my favorite pink marshmallow (besides the fact that it looked so sickly it should have been thrown away) it was covered, I mean covered in aphids. When I looked at the other plants I found them to be close to the same. I had to stand back in line and was rudely told that "that was why they were hosing them off!! There is a aphid problem this year".
I asked about why were they not treated chemically and was told that they didn't use chemicals. Grrrrrr that is what I thought I was paying for!!!
I was upset and refused the worst of the 12 baskets (I had 28 new tea roses that I did not need to have exposed the infestation) but was informed that I would still have to pay for them.
They did offer to replant the annual baskets that were supposed to "match" but looked as if there was a 2 month growth difference, also insect infested.
I did end up with constant treatment of malathion that year, but for the amount of $$$ that I had to pay I would have expected better service for both my plants and a customer.
Maybe the sales staff should be on commission, they would be more helpful and friendly. Oh... btw, the "back staff" has always very helpful, although it is helpful that I can speak Spanish 🙂

You have such great customer service on the phone to help me purchase my Riedel Wine Tasting tickets over the phone. We had a couple of phone calls back and forth but each was enjoyable with the employee Carol.

Just picked up the cutest box of Sees Candy eggs for Easter. Great selections of Sees Candy.
