So many beautiful houseplants both inside and outside of the greenhouse! We chose two Mother-In-Law's tongues and a beautiful pot for one of them, which is a gift for my grandma. The lovely owner and her staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and HELPFUL!! The BEAUTIFUL Golden Retriever Lily greeted us and walked with us around the facility. On the way out, I was tempted to take a photo of Lily, but she looked so peaceful sunbathing at the greenhouse entrance, that couldn't dream of interrupting her chill. :-) This was an awesome experience at a lovely nursery that we will surely be back to!

By day three, the roses had wilted so dramatically they looked like they'd just come back from Burning Man and needed to "find themselves." For clarity, we did everything properly. Fresh water. Trimmed stems. Clean vase. They were treated better than most houseguests. And yet, here we are. For the price, I expected romance. What I got was a botanical countdown clock. I would genuinely have been better off buying roses at Trader Joe's, and that's not something I say lightly after spending what I did. When you pay premium prices, you assume the flowers will last longer than a long weekend. It's disappointing because the arrangement was lovely and the presentation was great. But at this price point, durability should not be optional. Three days feels less like "Valentine's bouquet" and more like "romantic rental."

This place had everything I hoped to find! They've been in Torrance for a year and I'm really happy…read morethey relocated here from Manhattan. I originally came in just to look for some decorative pots but spent most of my time admiring their entire selection of plants. First off, the pots. They have a LOT. They probably have 1/4th of their space dedicated to these products. They have a wide variety of colors, sizes, and materials. I've never seen a wider selection in my years of indoor gardening. As for the pricing, I'd say they're decently priced. The larger ones certainly ask for a higher price than I imagined but the quality is there and how many times in your life do you buy a big pot? lol Now for the PLANTS! OH MY GOODNESS. It was a dream to see so many amazing plants in one place. They have succulents and large indoor plants as well. The ones that stood out to me (and will one day purchase) are their philodendron white wizards (they had 5-7 of them), alocasia stingrays, alocasia frydek, alocasia polly, and alocasia regal shield. They have a variety of monstera and zz plants, if you're into those. If you're looking for a 4-6 inch potted plant, then the pricing is reasonable. The larger ones are priced closer to 50-100 dollars. Not bad if you're good at taking care of plants. If you don't have a green thumb yet, then buy a smaller plant and learn! The service was helpful too. The gentleman who rang me up helped me carry it to my car given I had to carry my kids.

I booked the truck online with the Home Depot app that morning for a noon pickup, and everything was ready when I arrived at the rental area on the north side of the building. They even had some twine in the truck to tie it down. Even with the usual terrible traffic on the 405--if it wasn't bad, that would be the news of the day!--I was able to complete the move in just two hours. The truck ran great, was clean, reliable, and had no mechanical issues at all. Everything fit in a single trip, which made the move quick and easy. I topped it off with $15 worth of gas before returning it and even cleaned the windows. Overall, the rental process was simple, convenient, and hassle-free. I'd definitely use Home Depot truck rental again.

I had a party planned for this weekend and the delivery came in 3 separate deliveries and were delayed numerous times causing me to have to hire someone to drag the heavy boxes inside each time and missed my arranged time with my assembly man. Lidia came to the rescue and arranged to pick up the boxes when they were finally delivered and have then assembled and returned to me in less than 48 hours. Her communication skills and customer service skills are excellent . She kept in constant contact with me and updated me so that I knew she would delivery on her promise. Having managed Customer Service departments throughout my entire career, I would have hired Lidia in a heartbeat. Bravo!
