This hidden gem in the Fairway Park Shopping Center is one of those special places that makes a…read morecommunity feel like home. While they offer an incredible selection of healthy, beautiful plants, what they really provide is so much more than that. The atmosphere is peaceful, welcoming, and uplifting. It's a place where people can slow down, connect, learn, and simply enjoy being surrounded by nature. The staff are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping customers succeed. They take the time to explain proper plant care and share tips that help your plants thrive long after you bring them home. I especially appreciate the community events and educational opportunities they offer. They have created a gathering space that encourages learning, connection, and a deeper appreciation for plants and the natural world. I'm grateful this wonderful business is still here, thriving and serving our community. In a world that often feels rushed and impersonal, this shop offers a little oasis of beauty, peace, and kindness. Supporting local businesses like this is easy when they bring so much value to the people around them. Highly recommended!

Abby was extremely helpful in helping me find a plant in memory of mom on Mother's Day. Mom is a…read moreplant lover and she would've LOVED this place! Abby is so sweet and kind. I told her my needs and the areas where the potential plants will reside and she found these two that should work. She was attentive in my not having a green thumb and even repotted the Pin-stripe calathea for me--very nice touch. She educated me on why my succulents always die to look for plants with darker leaves as they are better at low light vs lighter colored leaves since my home doesn't get a lot of light. She loves her plants! She requested pics of their new home haha. There they are and I promise to take care of them! John

During covid they are not allowing people in the store. The staff seemed very knowledgeable over the phone and in person. They were able to let me know what they had avaliable in regards to brands quantity and price. Upon arrival the person taking orders was able to quickly grab my items from inside the store and check me out. I also consulted with other people who frequently purchase these items and they confirmed that this location had really good prices . They take cash & card. I am so happy they were open

The outside just says Garden Center, but I thought it was strange that it has no windows. I was so wrong, there are no plants inside at all. It's filled with all kinds of fertilizers, hydro/aeroponic supplies and nursery supplies. I'm glad I didn't Yelp this place before going in. I really would not have gone in and discovered that they have just about all the major/minor brands of fertilizers and the prices are considerably lower than the big box stores, local nurseries and the amazon. I don't know how they compare to other hydroponic shops pricing.

I was looking for Maple trees for my landscaping project when I came across MFAS. Barry answered…read morethe phone and was very informative on everything I would ever want to know about Maples. We weren't sure as to the exposure or placement so Barry asked for some photos which I sent him. He was able to tell me that my maple of choice (Fireglow) would work perfect. I ordered a matching set of 6 foot trees which Barry delivered to the house. They looked very healthy with nice thick trunks and perfectly trimmed. He said he would have to come back the following day as he wanted to make sure they were planted correctly and also treat them with SuperThrive which helps the roots take hold quickly and strong. Sure enough the next day he returned with his wife who is also a maple expert and we had a great conversation. He checked the trees, did the treatment for the roots and was very nice and helpful. I am going to be planting maples next year on a hill and will definitely be calling Barry again. Once my trees are leafed out, I will upload some photos. I am sure they will be stunning. If you have any questions about Maples, you need not search any further. Thanks MFAS!

The reply back was, "Yes, we have in stock." So the next day I drive all the way from the Central Valley to check out their Shubunkin stock. To my dismay, I'm told by an older man at the back store that they don't have any Shubunkin goldfish. I told him that I emailed Hank and he said you had them. The man then tried to sell us on Koi, but we told him we specifically need Shubunkin since we have many plants in our pond and the Koi would eat them, that's why we specifically are looking for Shubunkin goldfish. He then directed us to some Comet goldfish but not what we were looking for. Tried to look at the plants and other fish but the thought of me being lied to and driving that distance from the Central Valley was too much, so we left. This company was deceitful just to lure us into their facility. If they could lie about a simple straight forward question what other things would they lie about just to get you to buy something. Would not go back again! Will be searching for a trustworthy Shubunkin goldfish dealer elsewhere. What a way to deceive a potential customer.
