Very helpful and diligent about getting rude people to turn off their bright cell phones and watches. I loved that. The major shortcoming is that they desperately need someone directing traffic at the west exit after the show. It took far too long. People weren't bright enough to use both lanes going out of the lot, so it was very time consuming. This must be improved.

It's incredibly hard not to go overboard browsing greenhouses while you stockpile your own red wagon. An older woman, who I assume is a Henry, was extremely knowledgable and kind when recommending flowers and gardening care. With her help, I found the guidance I needed in picking the right variety of flowers (annuals) and the proper potting soil. She even let us know that it was okay to roam towards the animal pens. Yes that's right...BONUS! You'll find a wide variety like alpacas, sheep, peacocks, chickens, ducks, mini horse, and more. (Note: Do not touch the alpacas!)

The first time I entered Cottin's, I did so with reluctance. I was concerned that as per usual,…read moresome older gent would look over my head to speak to my boyfriend about what he might be looking for today, making me feel invisible and like such a *girl.* Kind of like what happened to me when I used to go into certain chain electronics stores that have since gone out of business (yay!) in NYC. Not only did this not happen, I actually enjoyed my time in there the several times I've gone in. I kid you not! Now, I fully admit that I usually would only go into Cottin's because the K would be super enthusiastic about shopping in there and I can't say I share the same enthusiasm, but oh, OK, they have a lot of awesome garden stuff and hello, are those pink flamingoes?!?! There's a lot to love about Cottin's. They rent cotton candy (COTTIN Candy?!) and icee machines. They sell all kinds of tape. They sell a lot of different colored and sized novelty light bulbs. They sell old school Radio Flyer wagons. It feels like it could be 1950 in there, but with a 2010 sensibility. The staff, all young and friendly, rule the school. As Lydia A mentions below, they are part of what makes Cottin's such an enjoyable place to be. A "place to be"?! Yes! It's an experience! Even getting keys made is kinda fun (OK, well, that's an exaggeration. It is quick and painless, however!) OTOH, you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming into one of my most hated stores ever...HOME DEPOT. Blargh! Here's to the true mom & pop sensibility of Cottin's (check out their cute retro bumper stickers while you're there and slap one on your toolbox) with their fair prices, excellent customer service and the way they make you feel like anything is possible so I'm going to start building that garden shed I've always wanted...I JEST.
