One recent Google reviewer brought a leaf from a 40-year-old rhododendron into Scenic Roots Garden Center because the plant wasn't looking well, and Scenic Roots diagnosed it and gave a solution right then and there. The same reviewer mentions local cheese and produce alongside the plants. In 2022, bostonglobe.com reported that Scenic Roots Garden Center in Sandwich launched a virtual landscape design business and started selling produce from a nearby farm. A 2023 capecodtimes.com mention called it a family-owned and operated business in Sandwich offering a wide selection of Balsam and Fraser firs from Quebec, plus wreaths, roping and cuttings, and capecodtimes.com wrote in 2025 that it also offered a fresh-cut service once you find your tree, with free netting and loading assistance. According to gardencentermag.com in 2026, about 85% of sales are garden and nursery plants, with the balance in ancillaries like mulch and soil. In a 2024 review, newcomers to the area said they showed up with only a vague idea of what they wanted and left with a plan for the space, plants and instructions to properly plant them. There are complaints about how the owners treat people. A 2026 reviewer who had two negative experiences found the owners unhelpful and unfriendly, and said that when they asked for gift recommendations she answered "no" and "you can see what's flowering." In a 2024 review, a customer said one of the owners was very rude when addressed, while calling the staff wonderful. In 2023, a customer whose wife is allergic to dogs objected that the store had started allowing dogs.
“As IGCs elsewhere wind down, Scenic Roots sells annuals, hanging baskets, vegetables and herbs through July. About 85% of sales are garden/nursery plants, with the balance in ancillaries like mulch and soil.”
“Scenic Roots Garden Center also offers a fresh-cut service once you find your tree, as well as free netting and loading assistance.”
“She’s noticed her customers at the Scenic Roots Garden Center in Sandwich, Massachusetts, often pick up two or three.”

“This family-owned and operated business in a beautiful slice of Sandwich offers a wide selection of Balsam and Fraser firs from Quebec, as well as plenty of wreaths, roping and cuttings.”
Always a wonderful experience. All seasons of the year with the best product!
I love scenic roots! They are a fantastic locally owned company who supports community. The knowledge of all of their staff down there is incredible. I brought a leaf of my 40 year-old Rododendron in because it wasn’t looking well. They diagnosed it and gave me the solution right then and there the selection is outstanding and you can also get local cheese and produce.
Two negative experiences with Scenic Roots, both times found the owners to be unhelpful and unfriendly. Too many better options on the Cape. In response to the owner’s reply, these questions were not asked. Was simply looking for gift recommendations & met with unfriendliness and she literally said “no” & “you can see what’s flowering” when I asked. Not helpful. Would have been open to anything, no limitations at all. I guess that’s a problem for these people. Had a similar experience a year ago & gave them another shot. Looks like others with similar reviews about Donna, so I’m not taking personally. Highly recommend the Green Spot in South Yarmouth - super friendly and found a beautiful gift!
Best plants in town and extremely helpful staff!!
My favorite owner ever! They are just so kind and helpful! I could kill an air plant. Yet the plants they recommended are thriving! I also love all the local options! She’s also how I found my tea lady!
