My wife was looking for some native plants to plant in our yard. Poor Boy's Garden Center had quite…read morea collection of these. What I liked: *Huge selection. We easily spent almost an hour walking looking through their various offerings *Great information. The plants had thorough written descriptions with them that allowed us to know exactly what we were getting. *Competitive pricing. I didn't feel like the prices were any more (or less) than other garden spots we've visited. *The koi pond. My kids were along and they were entertained by the koi pond. This helped as we weren't constantly hearing "I'm bored" as we were trying to make final decisions. All in all, very pleased with our experience at Poor Boy's Garden Center.

As long as I've lived in the Parkville area, I've never thought to check out Poor Boy's. However,…read morewith my recent garden obsession I decided to pay them a visit to see what they had in stock. I was blown away with the selection of house plants and all of themat a very good price too. Considering the astronomical price tag that some plants have today. For $9.99, I couldn't leave without buying a new plant. Poor Boys has all of your needs to tend to your plants and garden. From soil and neem oil to planter pots and worm castings. They carried a good selection of annual and perennial plants for your garden as well as a smaller selection of herbs, greens, and lettuce, given the major gardening season is starting to come to an end. They even had different types of fruit trees with fruit already on the limbs. The young guy working in the garden center was really nice and answered the various questions I had. He even helped me bring my items to the car. If you've got a green thumb and are in need of some new house plants or new items for your garden, then definitely give Poor Boy a visit.

Asked the cashier where it was located and she politely told me. I was looking for it in the aisle. I didn't see it. Asked another worker who was stocking in the same aisle and she located it immediately. I was overlooking it. Shame on me. The price was $11.99. I am hoping this does the job. I went to the cashier to check out. The cashier was also polite. This was an easy, quick and fast process. Thumbs up to the employees. They even have security on site. She welcomed us as we entered.

I tend never to adjust reviews but when relevant clarifications are provided, you should be open to…read morejust that. Hence this review. This review is based on the estimate process, so I can not give a grade on the actual quality of the work. And generally I do not take the time to grade based just on an estimate. Some prices will work for both parties, some prices will not. You move on, no big deal. However I felt the need to make an exception in this case. I gave this company a try (as far as the estimate) based on the few reviews available. I called the # for this company, and spoke to I am guessing, the owner. He came out when I was out (spouse was there), and provided the estimate via email. I do not fault anyone for looking to make money, that is the purpose of having a business and commerce. However the estimate here was egregiously out of line with the other estimates received by a factor of ten. Hence me informing him very simply, yet straight forward and politely, no thanks. It did initially strike us as a hail-mary, gouging price, hence this review. To honestly help inform others, as Yelp has always been very helpful and informative to me, in making my commerce decisions. However after discussing with the contractor he pointed out these were not apples to apples comparison. His scope of work included more expensive options (such as sodding opposed to seeding) . I did point out to perhaps offer more tailored estimates, or a range of estimates to be more in line with his customer's respective budgets, to avoid potential sticker shock. But after speaking to him, I am satisfied this was simply a miscommunication, rather than a padded estimate, and nothing malicious was meant. And my adjusted rating represents this. Hopefully this review will be useful to someone, both customers and contractors, in making sure both parties are on the same page regarding budget, before working up estimates. Thanks for your time in reading this review.
