Wasco Nursery & Garden Center

Wasco Nursery is wonderful! I drove 25 miles to buy a type of hosta that is difficult to find in the Chicago area. But they were at Wasco and every plant, shrub and tree I saw was beautiful, healthy and well-cared for. I ended up buying more plants along with the hostas I wanted. So impressed with this charming nursery and the nice people who work there. I'll definitely be back!

LOVED Wasco. From the friendly greeting when I arrived to the helpful staff explaining the layout of the nursery to assistance in looking at plants, it was a remarkable experience. I was asked several times if I needed assistant and each time they were extremely knowledgeable. Advice was freely given on planting and maintaining my purchase. It’s a long drive for me, but I will return.

Over the years living in the Fox Valley Tri Cities area, we have purchased many trees and bushes and have never been disappointed. This year we purchased a Fat Albert Blue Spruce, and to my surprise the warranty was updated to 3 years providing we use Wasco for the installation, which we did. I know of no other nursery that provides this long of a warranty. I highly recommend visiting Wasco Nursery for your landscaping needs.

Wasco is so great to work with and their plants are such good quality. Filiberto and his crew did a fantastic job planting trees and boxwoods during one of the hottest days this summer. They left the landscaping looking perfect. I highly recommend them!

We recently purchased a few trees from Wasco. The nursery itself, for non-plant people, can be overwhelming. That said, we were helped by an individual who was extremely knowledgeable and was able to help us make sense about it all and choose selections that were optimal for our space. 100% Recommend

Great garden center with a large selection. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Worth the drive if you aren't local!

This is one of the best nurseries in the Chicago area. I have purchased many excellent plants for myself and clients. Great, helpful staff. Outstanding customer service.

We purchased a beautiful Douglas fir about 8' to be planted in a common area in Wildrose Springs behind our town home in St Charles. Wasco was able to deliver and plant the fir about 10 days early which was exactly what we wished. The staff that planted the tree could not have been more helpful, they were great. The area where the tree was planted had perennials all around and I don't know how they did it but they did not disturb any of the flowering plants. As they were leaving the site and turned their truck around, they stopped and got out their shovels to straighten the tree which they thought was not quite right and it was greatly appreciated. It was obvious that they took tremendous pride in their work and wanted to please their customer. We won't hesitate to purchase from Wasco again. Dick DeSimon

Hey - If you want excellent garden advice, garden designs, a stunning variety of trees, bushes and plants, and assistance with planting them, we highly recommend you go to 100 year old Wasco Nursery. Matt and Dave Zerby and their knowledgeable crew are terrific at what they do, and reliable and honest to the core.

First time at this nursery today. The staff are lovely and their selection is phenomenal! I’ve seen things here I’ve never seen before. Good selection of natives as a bonus! I would recommend checking it out!

I’ve been an avid gardener for 40+ years and have a yard full of flowers, shrubs and trees. Unfortunately, as I’ve gotten older I’m not physically able to give the time effort needed to keep everything looking nice. I went to Wasco Nursery and talked with Meagan P. about designing a lower maintenance garden. I was very pleased. Her updated design will allow me to continue spending time with my plants while saving me a lot of aches and pain. Also, Jose and his crew did a great job with installing all the new plants as well as moving some already on the property. I appreciate the care and thought he used to relocate some of my favorite plants. I recommend Wasco Nursery without reservation.

We bought a Redbud at the end of the season during Wasco's clearance sale. Great price, great help & service as always. We shop here at least two dozen times a year for everything from trees, bushes & perennials, to landscaping supplies and tools. Matt and his Nursery are great to work with, won't sell you something that won't thrive in our area. Their field stock is top notch, just a little pricey, therefore the sales are when we buy. Installation with a 3 year warranty is offered and is a big help for the trees we've bought. Installation teams are very professional, finish their work quickly and clean up the site nicely. They even prune the specimen so that it looks top-notch and leave you with plant care & watering instructions. Our favorite place to shop for our yard!

Wasco was soo easy to work with. Ordered some trees over phone and set up delivery and planting. They came when they said they would and trees were nicely planted. No mess. Highly recommend! Always friendly!

Always a great experience at Wasco Nursery. We recently purchased a Tulip tree as well as bushes and ornamental grass. From sales to planting crew everyone was helpful and knowledgeable!

Wasco has a huge variety of plants and trees. Thay are knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend wasco.

The plants are so beautiful and happy. There is always a wide variety and fantastic selection of plants to choose from! The staff is very friendly and helpful. I also got the deal of a lifetime today! Yay! 🥳

Summary - Sharing our over the top positive Wasco Nursery customer experience. Our end to end experience was 5 out of 5 and we are “over the moon” with the result: Across a handful visits over a few months with 4 Wasco tree specialists listening to our needs and specific location factors, the objectives accounting for pollinator and hummingbird needs, initial ideas for trees, leaf colors, soil and slope conditions, black walnut tree interaction, and then to their refinement on our initial ideas. Outcome: Excellent purchasing experience. We requested their delivery and planting services as well. They then scheduled the optimal Fall planting event. Homeowner activities: up front activities 1) define your needs and expectations 2) map of the area you are planting 3) sun/shade, slope, soil type and wetnessdryness. Post purchase 4) we marked with supplied flags the locations for plantings, 5) and 1 week prior to planting, we were asked to water the bone dry soil. 6) We also registered a week before delivery with the Before You Dig website to have utilities marked. The delivery and planting crew teams delivered nearly 2 dozen trees and had them in the ground and mulched in less than 4 hours. The crew chiefs looked at each tree flag, made any minor adjustments to the location, and the crews dug the monster holes. They were incredibly skilled and coordinated at moving the 1,000 pound plus tree root balls all across the yard and slopes. They carefully positioned and adjusted each tree, fed them with organic starter for the roots and mulched them. All their efforts led to an incredible outcome of transforming a former cleared invasive tree wasteland to immediate positive impact of a mini arboretum. It makes a huge difference to have a team that cares about what they are doing, and the Wasco crews were courteous, professional, and did quality control of each tree planting. Already the birds are using the trees. We were so impressed with the results and the entire customer experience that we have accelerated a second phase of tree purchases from Wasco and now have more trees to be planted in a few weeks. If you are looking for large trees, a great experience, and for fulfilling your dream of a personal arboretum and botanical garden, stop by the great people at Wasco. They also have a selection of plants and supplies for your garden. Make a trip of it to also grab lunch in St Charles or Geneva too at a local joint.

Matt came over for a design consultation and in the same month executed on plan. His crew lead by Andres could not have been more professional or thorough. We could not be happier with the installation. thank you for the great service and ideas. Our yard looks amazing now thanks to Wasco Nursery.

Great team, assortment and pricing. Native plants & ornamental. I highly recommend Wasco Nursery.
