Discovered this most amazing nursery and garden center purely by accident! Wow! My eyeballs went…read moreinto overdrive upon walking into this glorious greenhouse. So, I am into plants and flowers. And by that I mean I drool at the site of a monumental hanging basket like some people ogle over a good bottle of wine. Something about the burst of colors and smells and the overall smile that flowers bring to your face is special to me. So finding this gem made my day! The prices are average to higher for some items, but the quality is far surpassed by your regular old big box store. For instance, a half dried out large fern at Home Depot will run $14.99 but a gorgeous full fern that is miraculously all green will run you $29 here so as the old adage goes, you pay for what you get I suppose! My haul consisted of two gorgeous hanging baskets (for the moms), several begonias and trailing purple beauties for my front concrete planter, some basil for my herb planter, a large cherry tomato plant (already with 50+ tomatoes on it!) and a few mixed pots for landscaping. Super happy I found this hidden gem just south of Noland Road...5 minutes from civilization!

It was another 4 days after the 3rd attempt that I finally got a response by email. The response stated, in what I feel was a condescending manner, that she could not do what I was asking for in any way shape or form (the flowers are all out of season and impossible to get) but that she would make me something completely different for an oddly high price. REALLY? If that is what you call customer service I am amazed you have any customers at all. No thanks.

I wasn't sure what to expect but it was so fun, that I attended a second time in the same month. The event is held in their greenhouse, which makes the perfect backdrop for this event. You play three rounds of bingo with three cards each round, and each game has one plant prize, so one winner. There's a Plant Bar serving cocktails and popcorn, plus a coffee shop on site with small bites available during the event. Jessica, the events coordinator, is friendly and fun. After all games are played you have time to shop. I went during January and there wasn't an abundance of plants and flowers, but I'm looking forward to spring to check out the greenhouse when it is blooming.

Mo is where we purchased the mower. I contacted Kobalt and received a Return Authorization and was advised to take it back to Lowe's with this Auth #. We took it back to the K.C. Lowe's (along with the Auth#K) because the battery got stuck in the mower, they advised us that we had to contact Kobalt to get our refund. Lowe's said they couldn't reach Kobalt re: our Auth #. Took mower back home. Called Kobalt back-they suggested we try another Lowe's, stating Lowe's should refund our money so we went to the one on Valley View Pkwy. Beth and Derrick were so gracious and were able to figure out how to refund our money, since all Kobalt battery mowers have been recalled. It took them awhile to figure out how to get this done but they did. They were absolutely awesome. Best customer service we have had in years!! So, if you live in the K.C. or Independence area, you'll be much happier if you shop the store on Valley View Pkwy!!
