My friend and I (and our husbands) visited Murray's Flowers & Fun Finds for the first time just a…read morecouple of days ago. When Lori Murray invited us to today's Pollinator Census Party, my friend and I (Kathy & Kitty) were excited to come back. What a lovely and fun experience it was! Lori was well prepared. She explained the pollinator-counting process perfectly and guided us through our 15-minute observation period. She was continually available to answer questions and even offered to help us submit our results. Lori had her adorable air-conditioned "She Shed" set up with delicious Italian and turkey sandwiches, cookies, candy and the most delicious green tea with honey! Her plants are absolutely beautiful and reasonably priced. My friend bought 4 plants during our first trip. My husband and I plan to return on Tuesday to work with Lori on creating a beautiful full-sun arrangement for a 20 inch pot we have in our backyard (hopefully with a tall "thriller" in the center and beautiful Purple and Fuscia Penta fillers around it that will attract the butterflies and bees like the ones we counted today. I'm looking forward to getting Lori's advice because she clearly knows her plants! If you love gardening, flowers, pollinators or simply supporting a wonderful local business, I highly recommend Murray's Flowers & Fun Finds. We're so glad we discovered this little gem! Thank you, Lori, for making our first visit (and our first Pollinator Census) such a memorable experience!

Nice, local, family run garden center in SW Ocala, close to 200 & 484. Friendly, knowledgeable and…read moreno hard pressure sell. stopped in to see w what they offered and was pleased when they asked if I had any specific needs. I described what I thought I wanted to do, and they showed me several options. A lot of other plants caught my eye, and they were able to explain why or why not it would work in my area that I wanted to plant. Prices are close to those of large box stores. They have a small garden accessory store with planters, trellises garden flags, plant supplements, etc.. they offer specialized classes on plants from time to time such as pollinators, so you know which flower plants would work for which butterfly or bee. gave it a 4 because of single lane driveway gate, small parking area and while nice variety, small selection.

They'll zip up the ramp, grab your hay (and bags of feed--I use the Releve Concentrate), weigh it on the scales by the office and carefully load it right into your truck's bed. Take the weigh slip into the office and you'll be on your way right quick. They've got several different kinds of hay; I prefer the 3-string Timothy for my horses. Nice people work here and they take care of customers fast. Highly recommend buying your hay and feed here.

I do not even know where to begin to describing this incredible experience at the Quail Ridge Farm!…read more The drive was very long, but it was worth every mile! After a Google search, I have came across Quail Ridge Farm. I called the place and inquired about Bob White Quail. A very polite gentleman informed me that I can come by on Tuesday. When I arrived, I was literally in shock! INFORMATIVE:: A very cheerful lady with a big smile welcomed me to her sanctuary. She showed me the tiny baby quails that I intended to purchase in her garage. Then, we talked about a bit, since I wanted to purchase more birds in the future, but because I am very new I did not even know where to begin. She full full of very useful information. She welcome to call her at any time if I have any questions and then she escorted me to the bird inclosure (aka bird farm) BIRD HOME: I went inside of fenced-in inclosure with the birds. The enclosure was well protected. I knew to predator could get in. My jaws dropped right at the entrance. For it was not just the bird farm, it was a bird sanctuary. The place was spotless clean! I mean, How one can have a such clean place with so many birds? But yet it was!! It was a way cleaner then any zoo! The place did not smell of bird waste at all. Inside, I saw cages with birds and tons of birds just free ranging. The huge snow white peacock screamed loud to welcome me. The birds looked very healthy and not stress out at all! I was followed by a curious Turkey. It was like visiting a fair tale. Immediately, I wanted to purchase more birds! And I did! I did not even planned to! PRICES: Very affordable! I have purchase 4 pheasants. I would have purchased more, but I did not have the inclosure built yet to host more birds. But I will definitely return to get more birds from Quail Ridge Farm! As soon as I build more homes for the birds! What an incredible experience! I highly recommend
