My only negative is that I wish there were more areas to sit down and take in the scenery.. I was happy to discover a shaded area with a table and some chairs near a chicken coop where I was able to enjoy Mother Nature. There also are stations to get food to feed the animals like the chicken, duck and fish. Also, when you enter the botanical garden, they give you a wristband that allows you to leave and re-enter for the day which is great especially because there are a couple of fun places with activities and restaurants right in the same area as the garden!!

The lights, music, activities, vendors were all good in general which is why I'm giving 3 stars. Except for the items that follow, this would be a very wonderful experience. The part that decreased the rating is the Christian nationalism. Nothing says "birth of our Savior, peace on Earth, good will to mankind" like the juxtaposition of the manger scene across from the American war and killing machine, complete with tanks and paratroopers and the police. And of the 10 songs they kept on loop, 2 were nationalist songs. One of the songs was literally the military recruiting jingles from the 1980s recruitment commercials. The second song was the Toby Keith Trump campaign song "Proud to be an American" . What does that have to do with Jesus, Mary and Joseph? The 10 songs looped every 30 minutes. That means every child there heard those two songs about 4 times in 2 hours. Christofascist propaganda at its worst directed toward children. The USA is the largest human rights violator on the planet, the literal antithesis of Christ and his message of peace and love. The last thing there were small animals without warm accommodations. They should put down some clean straw maybe more enclosure for the babies, or put them up at sunset. The Bible also states that we are to be good stewards to the animals on this planet. https://lightsatthefarm.com/

I went to a personal shopping appointment on December 28th and picked out a lovely monstera. We went throughout the rest of our tour and noticed palettes and palettes of dead plants. Crotons, herbs, etc. There were several heart leaf philodendrons and pothos that had been left for dead too. My friend, who was at the appointment with me, commented on it, and I justified it. "I'm sure plenty of nurseries look like this behind the scenes too. Not 100% of the plants make it 100% of the time. This is what behind the scenes looks like." But then I had to intervene twice with the pothos I got. I got it home and it began to yellow, no doubt due to the most compact, overwatered soil I've ever seen. I dug her out, inspected the roots, trimmed away some yellow leaves, and combined her with another pothos. To make a long story short, through a local FB group, a handful of women and I were able to connect over our declining monsteras. Each of us had purchased a monstera from Abby Lee Farms at around the same time and were having identical problems. We were all experiencing black/brown spots surrounded by yellow. All of us have multiple happy and healthy house plants, including other monsteras. All of us were stumped as to what this could be, as were other experienced house plant owners that we convened with. After going over our various conditions, we discovered the only commonality was where we got them. We reached out to the president and founder via email, and were met with some of the worst customer service skills. His initial reply to us was helpful in tone (he even offered a smaller replacement), but that quickly faded as we poked holes in his theories. He purported that my problem was that I used neem oil to shine the leaves. That's a common practice of plant care, none of my other plants have similar damage, and the propagations I took from this monstera shortly after I got it home have zero damage. Another woman's problem was that she severely underwatered hers. He was rudely adamant that the varying conditions of our homes were the cause. He wouldn't even consider the fact that something had maybe gone wrong while at their green houses, even though he admitted to me in an email that they make mistakes all the time (ya know, just definitely not this one). His emails got increasingly antagonistic. Eventually it became that we needed to return the monsteras we purchased, which we all found to be a ridiculous request considering we had all done the work of removing the infected leaves. What was left of the plants were the healthiest leaves that we could salvage - all of which have incurred no damage since being removed from the soil/mother plant. You would think that if our conditions were the problem then those trimmings would continue to decline too. All this to say, we are very upset with the lack of customer service skills we were given. The founder and president is too close to the situation, as it's his business, to be responding to customer service emails. We all feel he took things too personally and was unnecessaril y rude. We are all reasonable women and we know that things happen and that businesses have problems/issues, but what speaks VOLUMES is how problems are handled when they arise. This is probably one of the poorest experiences I've ever had as an adult. As far as I'm aware, none of us have any intentions of returning to this establishment or recommending it either.

I feel so sad to give a local nursery such a low rating. I've been to most nurseries in the valley…read moreand I have to say I won't be returning to this one. There are a few reasons for this poor review. I want to start by saying I am not new to plants. I have a large collection of successful plants that have been thriving for years. I grew up gardening and owning indoor plants even as a young girl. I purchased a heart leaf philodendron which was clearly over watered which I rehabbed and is now doing much better after a change of soil. I also purchased a Tradescantia zebrina which seemed happy at the time but as time went on declined rapidly. Any time I even would touch this usually hardy plant, large branches would fall off. This plant is not hard to grow by any means it's one that I commonly recommend to my friends who are new to plants. I went into the soil and realized that it was not established what so ever In the soil. It had no roots at all. So it was clearly just chopped from a mother plant and placed into soil. Which I actually wouldn't have minded if I was told this along with my purchase because I would have cared differently for it. Now the part in which I have a 1 star. My friend and several other people I know of have gotten monsteras from this nursery and all their plants died within less than a month. They had to chop and prop. When they reached out to the nursery the man was incredibly rude as I saw the emails he sent. Blaming them for the decline of all 6 of their plants and continuing to bully them and tell each of them they cared for their plant carelessly. The experience I had paired with these other 6 woman is unacceptable. The customer service on this end is not something I or anyone else should accept.
