My daughter and I visited mcauliffes today looking for a pink hydrangea bush. I've always loved…read moreMcAuliffe's because you can tell it's run by someone who truly loves what they do. It feels like it is someone's personal garden that is shared with visitors. Sometimes it can be a little challenging to find things, but it is usually a fun hunt. After spending 20 min searching we finally found a row of lime colored hydrangea and one pink one. My daughter happily picked it up and loaded it in the cart as it was the one thing we came to find and she was so proud she was the one who spotted it. It takes a lot to get my teenaged daughter to spend time with me, but today I was able to bribe her with a stop to Snohomish pie co as this was a belated birthday gift to me and we also needed dessert. We wondered down towards the trees on our way to check out when an employee an up to us asking if we found the pink one standing with other hydrangeas. We confirmed yes and she said it was intended for someone else. I asked to take a pic of the tag and she then picked it up and took it away. We were incredibly shocked and disappointed. Although we had a few other things on our cart after chatting with another team member we chose to not purchase. That interaction ruined our fun mom daughter date. As I was leaving I happened to to see the employee and after sending my daughter to the car with our pup I approached to just share with "Mikayla" how disappointed and upset we were both leaving. I wanted to express that it wasn't just a purchase today, but us spending some of our last years/months together before she is too busy for me with her own life. Mikayla was not empathetic an all and acted very matter of fact in that she had no control over it. The fact is it wasn't sold, wasn't tagged, not on a cart and no one was near them. I asked her name and she was away sharing over her shoulder while rolling her eyes "have a nice day". I was already on the verge of tears and although my intention was not to be mad and just express how it had really dampened our day I felt completely disregarded and chose to seek out a manager. After approaching another team member he let me know he'd grab someone to speak with me. "Mikayla" approached and offered to see when they'd get more in and I shared I could easily look online myself or go to flower world. I was able to talk with Anne who seemed to understand what I was trying to convey. I just needed someone to listen to my perspective five. She also offered that they could keep an eye out, but because I was crying I shared it wouldn't change what happened. It's just a plant at a store, but it wasn't just that for us and someone walking around with a radio disregarding anyone but her list of things she needed to do really broke our hearts. Lesson learned, not all of mccaulifes employee exude the same helpfulness and care as the others.

I googled bamboo and found out there's more to know about bamboo than I imagined. Once we figured…read moreout a general direction to go, we contacted all of the local bambo outfits including one in Portland. After gathering way too much info and comparing, we called Cascade Gardens. George Gearhart was easy to talk to, answered a miriad of questions, then gave us a great deal on two 15 gallon Fargesia Robustas that were already 10-12' tall. There may be bigger outfits in the area but no one knew as much or had as beautiful bamboo specimins as George at Cascade. As the real estate broker, SeattleViewHomes.com I collect A+ vendors, subcontractors, tradesmen and techs. George is the latest top of the list of vendor I will refer my clients to.

If you've ever even mildly fantasized about opening up your own sweet little garden nursery then…read morethis spot is a MUST visit! Located in a semi-remote area of charming Snohomish, Sublime (which is only open once, maybe twice, per month) is worth searching out. Because amongst the beautiful plants, herbs, and succulents is one thing you can't buy: passion. Passion for beauty. Passion for living things. Passion for life. If I was going to start a garden nursery, and had even a mildly acceptable ability to display plants in a pleasing manner, this is exactly what it would look like. While you're there, be sure to pop into the little shed/shop too, where you can buy trinkets, antiques, and even hand-poured candles. Just be sure to check out their hours on their website before making the drive, as they're usually only open one weekend a month.
