They have large carts to load plants onto. The carts actually moved along smoothly. A knowledgeable staff member Kenny circulated to answer all of the questions customers had. He was patient and helpful. Purchased: Beautiful deep pink Hibiscus Tree for the Deck Organic Tomato Plants Dwarf Marigolds, Portulocca, and large red Spikes for pots on the front porch. Potting Soil A staff worker packed my car with plants and four bags of potting soil. There was a bee on a Marigold flower, and I asked him to get it to fly away. He did. The large Greenhouses were stocked with blooming healthy annuals and perennials. It was a sea of beautiful floral colors. One of the three Greenhouses had vegetable plants and herbs. They did not have Italian Flat Leaf Parsley, so I will look for it elsewhere. Checkout was organized and efficient. There were three checkout stations!

Their sectiond of annual, perennial, fruit, sun loving, etc., and cute signs plus helpful and knowledgeable employees making shopping here an absolute pleasure. There's also the full selection of pots, soils, mulches, books, shirts, and anything else that one may desire. I was most impressed with their native native plant section. I have been slowly transitioning my yard to native plants, and have struggled to find native species, without resorting to mail order, which tends to stress plants out. This will be my first stop, going forward, for any gardening needs.

We now know that they design hardscapes too, but I didn't find them until we started thinking about adding plants to the front of our house. We had just put in new front steps, a walkway, and retaining wall planters, so the space was pretty bare and lacking any life. I knew it would be a daunting task to research enough plants to cover the 300+ square feet of space, and not only find plants that would meet our needs (partial shade, deer resistant, low maintenance, etc.), but also figure out how to appropriately and attractively arrange them. The husband and I are (sometimes) do-it-yourselfers, and really liked the idea of the two hour consultation John offers. I did a fair amount of research and didn't find any other comparable service locally. The price was right, and we knew it would give us the flexibility to decide afterward if we wanted to have the work done or tackle the project ourselves. We were pretty impressed with all that the consultation included. John sat with us to go through his extensive database of plants, which includes not only the botanical information, but also pictures of the plants as they change through the seasons. The design was completely customized to meet all our needs and preferences, and we were included in choosing each plant variety and gave input on placement. John was extremely knowledgeable and professional, answered every question we had, and wrapped up the consultation appointment by taking measurements before marking the area with flags to indicate plant locations. We were also provided a comprehensive list of all the plants we'd chosen, again including the botanical info and photos, and emailed tips for planting if we wanted to do it ourselves. We asked for a quote to potentially have John do the work for us. There was a brief moment of sticker shock, but we quickly realized that the prices were market value, and it was well worth the cost to spare ourselves the tasks of sourcing, transporting, and of course planting everything. Not to mention the HOURS of research his consultation had already saved us. Side note: I also really appreciated the transparency of the quote. It listed the individual cost of each plant/ tree/ shrub and all materials, so it was clear where our money was going and how the price might be affected if we made changes to the plan. So, we sent the deposit and John was back to do the work about a week later. The project was wonderfully executed, and we really couldn't be happier. He again answered all our questions and gave us helpful advice for maintenance. He even came back the next day to put down grass seed, as it was unavoidable for him to walk through our previously seeded post-construction dirt while he was working. So, we are big fans. We might even invite Land Design, Inc. back next year when we tackle the backyard...
