I learned about it from a small air plant seller - Airplantation (actually it's the seller's home, not far from here) in 2023 - yes, all my purchase from Airplantation are doing well. This nursery suffered from the hurricane and are still recovering from its effects. The office is at the end of the road - everyone should go there to check in first. The young lady in the office said that this was a hobby her stepfather had started around 50 years ago. There is a long snake skin pinned on the wall, near the ceiling, that he brought back from Peru. I told her about snake banquets each autumn in Hong Kong, which I miss very much. They also sell beautiful driftwoods. Oh, the dusty road is unavoidable.

When I pointed this out , the problem was not properly addressed and rather than try to correct the weed overgrowth, they belatedly just sprayed the heavy weed growth , leaving it otherwise untouched, When I asked for weed removal the response was to discontinue both properties for future service This company is ok to use UNLESS you expect to have any complaints properly addressed

I asked Javier, who was mowing my neighbor's yard, if he could just edge my sidewalk and driveway…read moreand how much it would cost. I told him I did not have an edger right now but if he would be able to trim it, I could clean up the mess. He charged a very reasonable amount and not only did he and his employee edge, they removed the excess grass growing over the sidewalk and blew the sidewalk and driveway clean and even mowed the front yard. I'm going through a very tough time right now, emotionally and financially and he has no idea how much he helped me with his kindness. And my yard looks fantastic! Thank you so much!
