In the summer, I went in with a friend who was looking for plants for a specific area in his yard…read more We were helped by Emma (blonde, unsure if there's more than one Emma working there). She was incredibly rude and dismissive. It was not even particularly busy that day! He described what type of area he had: full sun, well drained soil, no irrigation. She acted like she was completely bothered by the interaction and proceeded to recommend plants that needed the opposite requirements.

And, at a really reduced price because it's at the end of the season, some plants that looked all but dead, might still have some life in them with some TLC if you really want to manage your budget. What I noticed were the amazing large hanging baskets that reached nearly from the hanging bar at the ceiling down to the top of the tables. Absolutely beautiful.

Cool locally owned nursery that grows many of their greenhouse plants, definitely fun to visit…read morebecause not only do they have a nice variety of plants and plant decor but a lot of fun animals - peacocks, pheasants, chickens, ducks, cats - and a chill vibe with friendly service.
