I live a hour away, but had to go to the area anyway so I stopped by. The place is on the smallish side, but their Tomato selection is huge and comparable to a large mega garden center. For being on the smallish side Sweetbay has a lot of different Vegetables and Herbs, but not so many Varieties. For example they have Squash, Zucchini, corn, beans, peas etc, but only one or two Varieties/types of each. Even though the owner was busy, he gladly took the time to answer my questions and did not make it seem as though I was taking up his time. All in all I live a hour away so I would not run back to Sweetbay, but if I was in the area, I would gladly stop by again.

Linda has great landscaping ideas and reasonable prices. We were referred to her through Howard…read moreCounty. She came out and installed a beautiful rain garden for us a few years ago. Now, she put together a plan to minimize the water flooding our backyard and ruining our grass so that we'll have more privacy and NO maintenance for our lawn and foliage. It included installing schip laurel trees that would spread across our back fence to provide privacy. She also installed - or shall I say her workers installed - a groundcover that was to spread across and keep weeds out. She said all we had to do was apply Preen each season, which we did religiously. Unfortunately, the ground cover was overtaken by weeds each of the past two summers and takes hours upon hours of weeding since we cannot mow over it all. The attached photo is just a tiny fraction of the weeds I pulled this mornin Two of the trees drowned within a year. Her team replaced them and now they've drowned again. We did have record rain over the past year. Linda did say even though it has been over a year since the install that she'd replace the trees with a more hardy variety that can withstand the water and revert our lawn back to grass, it has been two months since we discussed that and we're still waiting for it to happen. She cited that part of the delay was that they were really behind between all the rain we've had and a stall in getting her non-U.S. visa workers lined up. It took a long time, but Linda's team came back last year to replace the trees and they are finally flourishing!

We used Village Gardens twice. Once, to create a hardscape flower bed and garden for our front…read moreyard. And then again the following year, to plant bushes along the side of our house as well as a potted evergreen for our deck. The hardscaping came out beautiful; however, when we noticed it starting to crack, Linda Luke and her crew manager kept putting blame on us and then began ignoring my calls and emails. So I went to a local stone store to ask for their opinion and they said the crack was caused due to a lack of drainage. VG did not create proper drainage options for the hardscaped flower bed, causing the stone to crack. We are now left with a dilemma of either leaving the 7' crack as is or spending over $1000 to have the other stone company fix it properly...all because Linda would not take ownership of their work. In addition, our potted evergreen began losing it needles immediately and, once again, they did not take ownership of the issue and continued to ignore our complaints. Bottom line: Be aware, guaranteed work doesn't mean follow through and customer satisfaction.
