I visited Plant Land for the first time in early June (noting that for selection reasons). A friend…read morerecommended I check it out! Overall I was expecting "more" from the shopping visit. I came with a particular need in mind, shade annuals to plant in a specific area. I assumed going to a local business rather than a chain would entail more of a personal touch but I didn't get that. The two employees greeted me but didn't ask if I needed any help so I figured I'd just roam around and see what I could find. I didn't think the types of plants were labeled very well, so I ended up back at the register to ask for advice. After I interrupted her reading a magazine, the lady gave me a couple of suggestions and pointed to areas I could look but it would have been nice if she walked me to the spot and helped me look for what she recommended. She also mentioned they were out of the options that may be a good fit so I guess, come earlier than the first week of June for a full selection. We aren't all garden experts and I was hoping they would be. Anyway, I figured out what to get by reading the markers in the plants. I can't say for sure, but I feel like I was also overcharged for the plants I selected. You'll see in my picture but their pricing for most items is based on the size of the container. How do I know the guy who rang me up picked the right price? My receipt didn't provide details so I couldn't verify later. Anyway, I like the plants I selected but I don't think I'll return. I get more of a personal touch with plant advice from my local hardware store (though they have a limited selection).

We were able to see all 3 domes in an hour: Show Dome, Tropical Dome, and Desert Dome. Compared to the Desert Dome in the Omaha Zoo, these domes were smaller. Nevertheless, these domes have varied plants from different parts of the world which were amazing to see. The Show Dome has a small short bridge and a gazebo which were nice areas to take pictures. A small gift shop sells some small plants, magnets, shirts, jewelry, pins, etc. Overall, it's a good place to visit.

Not sure what is reasonable or pricey for a plant, but most of them seemed fair to me. Although I did have to put back a string of pearls succulent. A little pricey, and I know I would kill this beauty. It was nice to just wander about without anyone trying to be overly helpful. Took my time and found some new plants for my apartment. Which will not die on me!! The staff, at checkout, were very friendly and efficient. I will definitely go back. Great succulent selection which I have a soft spot for.

Being a novice to gardening, I stumbled across Shady Acres when searching for family-owned area…read morenurseries and am I glad I did! Shady Acres is very nicely sized. You can see their entire selection from one end to the other, which is laid out exceptionally well with clearly marked sections. All of the plants are in alphabetical order throughout wide aisles. I am not one to trek through acres & acres of plants, only to get confused & tired. Plants are very competitively priced for the size and outstanding quality. They provide 2 sizes of wagons for your selections while you shop the well-kept grounds. They offer a nice selection of garden ornaments and their own gardens are very nice to walk through to get some great ideas for your own place. The staff are all very nice, helpful and pleasant. They listen to your needs and will direct you to all of the proper plants that are right for the areas you want to beautify. A special shout-out to Anna who always has the best advice for my very-pale green thumb. No matter if you're in the area or not, it is worth the drive. Highly recommended!
