Tree selection was pretty sparse yesterday, but fair enough, it's less than a week before…read moreChristmas. I did think the remaining trees might be discounted by this time, but no. Trees are not cheap, probably average for the area (we didn't look anywhere else because it was 8 o'clock at night). If you need a tree over $250 there are many to choose from, if you want something under $100 go elsewhere. The younger guy was very nice and helpful. The older guy, who I assume is Dave, seems knowledgeable but also grumpy and is not helpful. I walked up to the counter and started to ask him a question, I got as far as "hi, how much are..." when he answered his cell phone (without acknowledging me at all). The person on the other end (he put him on speaker) said he was sending a family by for a tree, they should be there around 8:50pm (they close at 9pm). Dave let our a long, loud, sigh and hung up. Other than eventually answering my question about pricing for the cute little reindeer, he didn't make eye contact or speak to us once during the entire sales transaction, other than stating the total due. Maybe he was having a rough day (holiday retail sales certainly isn't a beach club in Bali). But when I commented to my partner on how annoyed he seemed, he said, "He was the same last year, remember?". Seems a strange line of work for someone who seems to not like kids, dogs, or customers. (Maybe he's incognito spy Santa with an elaborate cover story?)

7 Day is still our fave for its great customer service, outstanding plant & fruit tree selection,…read moreand a fine selection of fountains and water-features. 7 Day is one of my "Go To's" for special gardening tools. In past years they were the only source for the "Root Slayer" (serrated edges shovel) & the dandelion-weeder with curved metal pry bar. Their Hori Hori and Daiso Japanese wooden Sawyer blades make for easier hand-weeding in the garden. Parking lot is a challenge. But, just go park down the ramp in the nearly empty lot across from Cox communications if you aren't loading big bags or heavy pottery.

I bought a plastic watering can and a small bag of cactus mix here on 8-3-26. It came to $74. The…read morereceipt did not list the items I bought or the price for each, so I found what seemed to be a low tech price sticker on the can for $60, which seemed like a lot for a plastic watering can. There are multiple power tools at Home Depot right now, for example, for less than $60. I returned on 8-7 to the store with the unopened can in its original packaging and the receipt and asked to return it. The staff said I could only get store credit b/c I did not return it within 24 hrs. I said a refund was needed rather than a credit. She excused herself, left with the receipt, and returned saying a 20% restocking fee would apply instead. Then she tried to KEEP my original receipt. I told her she could make a copy of the receipt but that I wanted it back and that receipts absolutely belong to the customer under the law. After some pushback she gave the receipt back to me. I do not think this store understands fundamental consumer protection procedures under CA or federal law.

I asked where the mailbox locks were. He didn't even blink and said it's down this isle right had side in bin number, it's towards the bottom. I was blown away it as exactly where he said it was. I'm so sorry I didn't get his name. I've never had anyone pretty much at any store know so exactly where something was without having to look it up. Clean cut young man with glasses.

We were standing for a while noticing there was no scanner and the checkout guy was completely ignoring us while chatting with another customer. I simply asked him an easy question of "is there a scanner for this checkout" and the guy went on and on lecturing us about being the only person there and that he can only go so fast blah blah blah. We just asked a simple question and he was insanely rude intentionally trying to embarrassing to us. Even the guy he was helping was completely annoyed by him. And this happens EVERY time at this MISERABLE Home Depot. - Train your staff better. I don't like being rude to. Lucky Amazon exists. Never going back after that total jerk. Will post to local community pages as well.

This is by far the best nursery I've ever been to, and I've lived in Santa Barbara my entire life…read more I would drive to Summerland/carp any day for this selection and for their prices. I'm almost hesitant to post this review because I don't want to have it be swamped. Next time I go, but it really is that good. They have a huge variety to choose from and their knowledge and expertise is second to none. Plus they loaded everything into my car for me and they let me take my dogs around as I looked for plans throughout their huge nursery. Service 11/10, selection, 11/10, value 12/10. If anything, I'm under selling this review. Once you go and see for yourself, you'll know exactly what I mean

I was there planning on purchasing bouganvilla shrubs but the owner, Alfredo, was an absolute Son-of-a-Bitch! He lacks solid customer service skills which is absolutely essential when dealing with the public. I had a question about the shrub and he would not even answer it as he told me that his time was being wasted as he is a busy man. In addition, he also said that his nursery is NOT retail but wholesale! Alfredo, you obviously are ONE miserable human being and should really consider another job that does not include people. I really feel sympathy for the workers who work for you as you must interact in the same way with them. As you told me, you pay your son, Freddie, A LOT of money for working at your nursery and quite frankly, you SHOULD! If it wasn't for your son, daughter, and workers, you would have NOTHING because your an ASSHOLE!! So, today, you LOST a great customer because I will NEVER return to purchase from your nursery ever again! And, I most certainly will tell others to never patronize your nursery as there are many others to choose from.

Thank you Nikki for creating this special place... I was inspired with the wonderful wooden kids toys, great selection of kids and local books, local artists in art and jewelry, the unique carp clothing, the throwback candy, And of course, the beautiful Christmas tree, decorations and trees. There were menorahs as well With great candles for them. Many lovely tree decorations ...The beautiful little hearts on the trees would be perfect to top any gift or a bottle of wine present anytime of the year. I also loved the white angels holding a heart ... perfect to add to a get well present too This is tucked away, just a little bit, on the Padaro shopping lane.

The nursery was closed and locked up. I turned around and followed another yelpers advice and opened the large metal sliding door with the open sign above. Inside you'll find an amazing amount of air plants with varying sizes and prices. It took us awhile to choose, but we left with three beautiful hanging air plant arrangements. The staff was friendly and she provided us with care instructions. She also told us that the nursery across the parking lot may open this summer. Definitely a unique stop that was fun to browse.

They would come to my home to die, but this one...this one hits different (-ly). When you KNOW, you KNOW! So I went into my pocket and bought five of these miniature little things in various beautiful colors and put together my own hanging arrangement. Then I took it home with me to live, not to die. I am over the moon. We are going to ride out into the sunset together, little plants. The staff is incredibly helpful. Brian is extremely passionate to a fault, but it is better than someone with no passion. Come here and jump on the air plant train. This concept, trend, whatever you want to call it, isn't going to die any time soon. With our world trying to be more conservative, this right here is the way of the future. Embrace it.
