My wife and I went to Hawaii a few years back and she fell in love with Plumeria's. We bought our…read morefirst house and the back yard needed a lot of work, needles to say we eventually wanted to add plumeria tree. So for her birthday I decided to find one but had a hard time doing so. I stumbled on Mike's page while searching and there was a tremendous selection.

The variety of plant options starting from seed, to transplant ready, to productive trees is astonishing. The staff knows the ins and outs of all the different types of plants they carry and how to care for them, as well as very nice and easy to work with! We were given excellent recommendations and took home a heritage raspberry plant and highland blueberry plant. Both have been great and productive for my home and I'll be hopefully coming back again soon to pick up more!

Since I wasn't sure what to expect, I thought I'd help others that may want to go here too! First of all, bring a truck if you can. The soils and rocks are in piles, and they have equipment to load 1/2 to 1 cubic yards of stuff into your truck! If you don't have a truck, bring your gloves! They let you shovel bags of dirt/rocks to put in your car. The bags are big!

I believe Jenn was the one who helped me out and she was so nice and helpful. One recommendation to the company - I would double check the number on Google search. That number sent me through a loophole that might be disconnected or in need of some help. I couldn't get a hold of anyone, so I called the number listed here on Yelp and it worked great!

I noticed people left bad reviews mainly bc the place was not open. I simply avoided this by calling to confirm she was open. Too bad they missed out on this incredible place.

Anyway, for his 70th I decided to get him a bonsai. I remember when I was a child, him getting one from Japan when he went to go practice Zen. (Again, don't know if I said that right.) I thought I rekindle his passion for the practice of bonsai. Being very undereducated on the practice Cindy was extremely helpful and informative. Her selection is as beautiful as she is. It was a pleasure doing business here and I would recommend it to anyone. I parked on the opposite side of the house next to the citrus trees. I had to jump the curb in my truck. And I entered to the left of the house though the open gate. Call before hand.

Bryan listened to my concerns, asked about my equipment setup, and recommended the exact right combination of intakes, pump, filter, and UV light. Rather than do the DIY thing again, Justin came to my home and completed a totally perfect removal and replacement, and almost immediately my water popped clear. The system has been running over a month, and with a bit of spot-on consultation from Katy, I've never enjoyed my koi pond as much! I'm adding some special-order hybrid water lilies that Stanley recommended, and can't wait to see them in my pond.
