But I'm telling you...this place is worth it. It's huge and quite literally, they have anything and everything you could ever want for your garden. Also, unlike every other garden shop in the area, they still are stocked with flowers even after the Fourth of July. All the women who work there are incredibly friendly and helpful. They will help you pick out the flowers that grow best together, look best together, and then show you how to arrange them to make them grow to their full potential. they also have their own specialty baskets that they put together in the shop. Though they are a wee bit pricey, I can only imagine it would cost as much if you went around and picked each flower and plant you wanted individually and put it together at home. Also, they have these awesome things called the "downunder basket." Supposedly, they are the only people in St. Louis to make them and they are basically an upside down plant. It's really cool and an original gift if you are looking to bring something of this type as a hostess gift. They also have quite a collection of fountains and other yard ornaments if you are into that sort of thing as well. So...if you are as disappointed with the assortment of flowers in most of the garden shops around town, it may be worth hauling it out to Wildwood. I certainly thought so.

Wow, amazing quality, service, selection and knowledge on the part of the staff.

Ignorant, horrible, and uncalled for.

We had a need for the project to be completed in a very short window (less than 6 weeks) from the day of the quote. The owner said they could make it happen. Other places we contacted couldn't even start within 6 weeks, let along finish. The work crew was amazing and efficient. Overall our experience was without hassle and done 2 weeks ahead of time of our deadline. I highly recommend.

I know it worked while they were working on our deck because they used the outlet on the deck for their power tools. My husband went into their office twice to tell them about it and called once. Each time he was told someone would be out and they never came. We have gone a year now without porchlights in the back and are expected to pay for the issue they caused. Just beware.

Online reservation --meeting their minimum purchase of $32 required -- was made easily for date & time. Confirmations were sent via email, though we thought we'd get a call to confirm # of guests --we didn't but that's fine. Daughter and 3 friends went on a Wednesday at noon (late as usual, but no one else was there anyway). She had to call because GPS took her behind the store. There were so many scents to choose from. The girls had a great time and each made the smallest ($16) candle. Took 2 hrs 15 min for candles to set -- girls went to eat lunch on N. Central St., a few minutes away, and called to check when their candles would be ready for pickup. Overall a great experience -- highly recommend!
