So I called Gulf Gate to see if they could get an arrangement delivered that same day. They were glad to!

Our experience was not good with Hazeltine Nurseries. First, they didn't call 811 (approval to…read moredig, by Florida statues) and hit the lines which cut off power to our gate podium and gates. After installing the plants, I didn't get the number that was on the quote and I was told that "You got more dirt so we gave you fewer plants". After some discussion, they agreed to add the plants. Be careful with the irrigation added to the contract. We were charged $2,000 for doing absolutely nothing and the comment was that the clock begins for hourly charges when they leave the plant! They were stuck on I75 so w e were charged for several hours. The sales person said that it was less than what we predicted, so you should be happy. This is not the service I expected. I asked for a manager/owner to call me back and never received a call. We will not consider Hazeltine in the future.

Waited quite a long time in their office, finally yelled, "hello!" and someone came out. I asked about my Geiger tree. Her response was, (get this), "leave your name and numb..." I said, "Whoa. I already left my name and number and no one called me back". "Well, I'll call you back" she said, (she sounded just like the first person who told me that). I said isn't there some way you can check to see if one is available, even if it has to be ordered?" Her response? "Give me your name and...." Needless to say, I bought my tree, the same day, elsewhere. Real pros, this group.

Salt Your Soul Gift Co. is truly a gem nestled within South Sarasota. So it's pretty fitting that…read morethey sell gems, as well as plants, trinkets, greeting cards, jewelry, and snarky gifts, most of which are sourced from other small businesses, and all of which are completely reasonably priced. Perusing the shelves alone comprises its own joyful experience, but owner Jen offers a number of interactive activities that can be done within the shop. These include a make-your-own terrarium bar, paint-a-flower pot, glaze ceramic pieces, and even a library and coloring station for the kids. I personally took my 4-year-old here for books on a weekly basis over the summer. Best of all, Salt Your Soul is inclusive, judgement-free, and just an all out, high vibe spot to spend some time. Highly highly recommend.
