It remains to be seen if we can keep this little tree alive and take care of it appropriately, BUT…read moreour experience in buying it was excellent. The owner of this store definitely seems to know his stuff and was patient with all of our dumb questions. Easy to get to, prices seem appropriate (I have no clue on this, but you can buy a smaller one under $100, which seems like a great gift price point?), atmosphere was pleasant, etc. I would definitely return to buy another in the future!

Great selection, individual tree care instructions. Owner knows his stuff. All bonsai look very…read morehealthy

Virgil's Plant Shop is freaking amazing every time I go in. Today I walked in with just a flamingo…read morepot I'd been holding onto, had a quick conversation with the staff about what would work, and left with this perfect little setup. They knew exactly what plant would look great in it and potting it up for me was seamless. Everyone who works there actually knows plants -- not just the basics, but real knowledge that helps you end up with something that fits your space and actually thrives. Super helpful, no pressure, and you always leave with something that feels special. Support your local plant shop. Virgil's gets it right every single time.

11/29/25 was small biz Saturday so we went to Virgil's holiday party. The party was so fun! We did…read morenot expect to have so much fun as we did. They had free cocktails all day and cinnamon rolls available for purchase. They even had a scavenger hunt which was such a nice touch!! like I still can't get over that idea??! so good!! You finish your scavenger hunt, you get a prize. And if you complete one of the harder scavenger hunt you get 10% off your purchase. Because of the holiday party they were already doing 20% tho. Everyone so sweet and kind. They guided us where to go for the scavenger hunt when it got hard! Everyone was friendly and assisted my friend on picking out a healthy plant. The cost of the plants were reasonable as well. I did not get a plant this time but my friend did and with the discount, I think it was well worth it. :)

I needed pebbles for painting critters on rocks. I never intended to paint critters on rocks, and…read moredidn't get small rocks from my last visit at House of Rocks. I found Randy's Lakeview Nursery and Stone in Lee's Summit. It's a beautiful facility near Lake Jacomo, It is a brown wooden barn and cute. In the back there's piles of different rocks, different sizes. They allowed me to hand pick what I needed, and I paid for it at the cash register. They also have a plant area and beautiful metal work. Landscaping rocks are their specialty. They also deliver locally, which is good to know, not many places do. There's no where in Independence that does this sort of service and have landscaping rocks available. I selected Missouri River Pebbles and will return when I need more.

I love shopping every spring and all summer long at Randy's...they have always had everything I was…read morelooking for, we built 3 large flagstone patios in our backyard, and an entire outdoor kitchen with a fireplace and smoker... this morning my husband just announced that he will be adding a pizza oven! Laughs...so I guess we will be hanging out at Randy's a lot more this summer! Thank you for being wonderful to my husband, me and my 4 kiddos! Thank you again, Emily

I like that they give you the option to purchase and install yourself or they have installers that will do that for you on any of your projects.

BEWARE!!!! I purchased trees with the company through my landscaper and 2 of the 4 died within 5…read moremonths. When I returned to speak with the manager "Mike" he basically said you are out of luck. They don't warranty their trees and his solution was to sell me more trees at discounted rate (why would I buy more trees when you wouldn't guarantee the first one's). Stay away from this place!!! This company's customer service is so poor and they seem to have shady business practices. Buyers be careful when dealing with this company

We had so much fun! And I wish I had taken more pics of their actual tree farm area but it was a…read morerainy, muddy day and I was chasing two toddlers, lol. However, their customer service is amazing! They have pre cut trees in the front of the farm, closer to the house. If you're going down into the farm because you want the experience of cutting down your own tree, make sure to bring your own saw! The farm area is a pretty big and open field with lots of spaced out trees. It wasn't overwhelming at all, and they had lots of different sizes. When you go in to pay they have complimentary hot cocoa and hot cider, as well as wreaths to purchase if you want.

This is a fun, great little Christmas tree farm in Shawnee, KS. Even though it is in a suburb of…read moreKansas City, the farm is located in a more rural setting, which adds to its charm. It is very easy to get to, the trees are reasonably priced, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is a family-run business and the trees (Scotch Pines) are grown on the property. However, they do have some pre-cut Frasier Firs for sell. They also have all the supplies you will need to cut down and haul the perfect Christmas tree, free of charge. There is even free hot chocolate and cider and handmade wreaths available for purchase. Midland Holiday Pines is open 10am to 5pm the day after Thanksgiving, then every weekend until Christmas, 10am-5pm.

I just have to shout out Larry's and their amazing staff. I went in today after meeting someone to…read morebuy a plant. When I went to leave, my car wouldn't start. The lovely gals working scrambled to find some jumper cables. And a nice gentleman that works there (sorry I didn't grab his name - I was stressing too much) came and helped me clear off the terminals and jump it so I could get to the shop. Not a fun experience after driving up from OP to get that serotonin boost, but they helped make it much less stressful than it could have been. Truly awesome people! PS I also got to see Janet for the first time & that put a smile on my face. PS they also have the best plants in KC & frequently rare things you can't find anywhere else locally.

I LOVE the fact that I can find succulents (and others) in 2" pots. That means I can give a plant a go, and if it's a drama queen needing more attention than I will give it, I'm not out much money if it un-alive's itself due to my neglect. Their clematis and hellebores come in so many varieties. And the alocasia plants were plentiful! I was in heaven selecting plants to bring home. Follow them on FB to see their new arrivals.
