They basically have everything you could ever desire as far as gardening goes. And they are cheaper then their corporate counterparts.

"May I help you find something?"…read more (What are words you rarely hear in the gardening areas of Home Depot or Lowes for 500, Alex?) You will be helped at Perino's. So yes, walk in to the huge nursery but don't feel overwhelmed. There will be a well-informed employee there to help you. And you don't have to go hunting for them. Perino's is paradise at this time of year when most of our minds are geared towards making our outdoor spaces beautiful, even if in a month or two we will be hiding inside from the heat. Perino's has it all from annuals to perennials to shrubs to trees and everything in between. Yes, you're paying more for things than you will at HD or Lowes, but the quality is profoundly superior to what you'll get there (sidenote: it's depressing to see the wilting flora at the big box stores, clearly due to lack of watering. Then they put them on sale but c'mon). Perino's has sales at times, too. Proof of quality: I see in my last review 12 years ago that I mention buying a star jasmine vine. I still have that vine and it made it through two cross country moves!

I have passed this place soooo many times and admired the large boulders out front…read more After Hurricane IDA did away with much of my garden, it was time to get busy on renewal. The flowerbed/Alter originally had a wood border and it was looking shabby. I decided to invest in a rock border. On trip one , I bought 11 Colorado rocks as a nod to my Father's home state. This would give me a gauge on how many I needed. Trip 2, 22 more. All in all about 150$ spent for the border. The pond was another story with several trips until I realized I needed both base rock fill ins and the flagstone topper. I also purchased some water grass and a beautiful purple lily. Super happy with this family run biz and their help in consultation and loading. Easy to shop, grab a cart and start loading, from one rock to a truck full. no rock too small or toobig. I'm sad I don't need anymore rocks, maybe I will one day.....but dang if my yard don't look gorgeous because of them!!

This business rocks!!! No pun intended. They have a great selection of sediment, gravel, and rocks…read moreat great prices. I went there with the intention of taking care of some landscaping projects. The owner was very helpful with listening to my plans and providing recommendations of rocks based on capability to drain and aesthetics. I made about four trips in my truck to pick it up but had I known how much I really needed ahead of time, he would have delivered it for me. So yes, they will deliver. Regardless, he was kind enough to wait till I finished with my project to pay him at the end instead of making multiple payments every time I went there. Since that first time, I've actually gone back for other project needs and recommended him to friends and family. They have not been steered wrong by this company either. Definitely go check them out on Airline.

Take me back! I love it here. Buddy helped my mom yesterday and she couldn't stop gushing about how…read morehelpful they were. We came back today and got help from some other sweeties including Buddy and Wayne. Everyone was so knowledgeable and eager to assist. Wayne approached us so warmly. Made us feel so comfortable! They were so charming that I'd let them sell me anything. *opens purse* We'd been shopping around for weeks and decided to outfit our lawn with as much as we could get from TPG, thanks to Wayne. The Plant Gallery is so expansive, beautiful, and organized. There is inspiration abound. They really put so much care into the aesthetic. Most plants were labeled with name, care tags, pricing, their sun/shade situation, etc. I'd visited before and felt a little intimidated. When you approach, it seems like you have to park on the street, but if you pull inside the gate there is subtle parking available. It's sort of like street parking, where you can park along side some of the plants or sculptures. If you're unsure, ask some of the friendly staff and they'll help you.

I'm not officially a plant person. I tend to be a foster parent for plants, or an adopter of…read moreplants that have left behind or propagated by others, but I don't often head out in search of actual plants to buy for myself. Occasionally new pots or potting soil, but very rarely am I out and about for plants. I rent, it's always dark in the shotgun, the yard is just a jungle gym for the dogs, so I don't really plant anything. Just assorted pots on the porch and a few limited light tolerant plants inside. And then I decided to pick up a few for my classroom. I usually just have a little vase or some mini-daffodils in spring, but I'm trying to encourage more plant life in my classroom so that my students can enjoy it, and so that I have time to enjoy it. The problem is that I'm not as good at indoor plants as I am my outdoor ones. So I went to TPG because my mom gave me some ideas, and it popped up as a nearby location to where I was out shopping. 1. This place is way bigger than I expected. I pulled in and there's a shop, greenhouses, landscaping plants, you name it. 2. The staff was so helpful and knowledgeable. I got ideas of what to get (sturdy enough for students), ways to take care of them, and knowledge about which ones were air purifiers, low maintenance, or whatever given my classroom conditions. 3. I spent more money than I had been anticipating, but I was having such a great time, and enjoyed learning about the plants that I decided to just buy a few more. The lady in the greenhouse wrote out my bill, I got to use my Yelp! check-in discount, and I went into the store to check-out. They had so many great goodies there that I really wanted to keep shopping, but I knew I had already spent my budget with the extra plants, so I stayed good. Now I know for next time and I look forward to going back. BTW -- the new plants are thriving and new shoots are already appearing, so apparently they really did lead me in the right direction!

They have: mini starter greenhouses, timers, sticks, clips, lights, meters & cloth pots of various sizes. There are a variety of different insecticides and I know if I get a bug that I'm capturing it to be brought here. Hydroponics are the specialty, so much is dedicated to the preppers that grow food indoors or without soil at all. When I was leaving I noticed a fridge and there was a lady there examining, weighing, sorting and packing farm fresh eggs. When she put some stuff in the fridge, there was another surprise- beef. There is a variety of grass-fed sausages and steaks. Talk about awesome. It looks like they ate winding down in the brewer supplies and they are currently 40% off now. If you grow and need specialized help, this is the spot!

Of course they have all the basics, but also multiple varieties of each type of fruit tree, including some less common tropical varieties like longan. There were bonsai starts and supplies, super hot peppers, a seemingly endless variety of landscape plants and pollinator attractors. All of this lovingly tucked tightly together in a way that didn't feel busy, but lush and inviting. Inside the store was no less impressive. There was a wonderful selection of pond/aquarium supplies, small animals, and fish. A young man working on one of the indoor ponds spent a lot of time talking to us about ideas to improve a pond that we have, along with recommendations on fish for it. He, and the owners, seemed quite proud of their wonderful place, as they should be. I look forward to visiting again soon!
