My only suggestion would be to expand the selection of anthuriums and other indoor plants. I also noticed that many of the houseplants looked like they could use a bit more care and maintenance. Improving the indoor plant section would make this place even better. Other than that, I had a great experience and would definitely visit again.

Avery knew each of their wide selection of plants and shrubs like the back of his hand. In addition to Houston Garden Centers for regular fare, I regularly enjoy shopping at Buchanan's and Joshua's nurseries because of their unique and native varieties. Today, though, I was introduced to plants and shrubs at TGU that are just as native or unique and that I had never seen in Houston before. Avery was impossibly patient, thorough, and easy to get on with as he helped me pick out good low-maintenance options for my hodge-podge cottage-style garden. Though The Ground Up is set up mostly for plant sales to landscapers and professionals, they also sell to individuals at retail prices (only on Saturdays I believe). Sasha, when I checked out, was very sweet, funny, and very charming. I've been to their Richmond location and can't speak very highly of it, but this Brittmoore Rd TGU was brilliant.

I had to remove the bowl and make sure the tree had water overnight since they had already closed. I went in the next day to let them know and get a refund for the defective bowl. They would not refund the money, and told me I had to call corporate. So I did and they told me I had to bring the tree back so they could attach a new bowl. I don't have a way to put the tree back on top the car and tie it down and drag it back to the store. Moral: put water in the bowl before you leave the store or go elsewhere. Super disappointing since I get my tree there every year. Well, I used to do that.

I had issues with trees in which the PLASTIC "chains" broke as well as the wooden stakes that just split in half. I asked Cathleen (co-owner) if they could come out and re-stake the trees because of the broken stakes/chains. It had only been a few months since they were planted. I also sent her pictures of the broken stakes/chains and showed that the trees were now growing crooked since nothing was holding them in place. She was going to charge me $210 to replace THEIR broken chains/stakes on 2 trees. She claimed that the warranty didn't cover damage due to a storm. I asked what storm she was referring to and she replied, "It doesn't have to be a named storm, could be just bad weather, like heavy winds or rains." What? I told Cathleen I was disappointed, especially since it was well within the warranty period and the fact that I spent a LOT of money there. I had also referred other people there (which I won't do again). Her only response was, "If you'd like me to send you a copy of the warranty, I would be glad to do that. The warranty states that we don't cover weather situations." So keep this in mind if you think you're actually getting a warranty there!
