"Great plants and gifts! Beautiful rose bushes! We bought 20!"

- Stacy Herron, January 2023

"One of my favorite places to get plants! The people there are always friendly and helpful. They are pet friendly, so I always bring my dog. She can be a bit much to handle in public, so I don’t take her out often. BUT whenever I go to Bath the people there always help me out with her! Every time I go to Bath I leave happier and with a new plant!"

- Gaia Bachar, April 2024

"I love this place. Their customer service is absolutely outstanding. The staff has a great amount of knowledge. Anytime I have an issue with a plant, I pluck a leaf off of it put it in a ziplock bag, and then take it in. The staff easily assesses what the issues are and educates me on how to tackle the issue."

"Love this place. I now have a lovely birdbath in my yard. Friendly staff and they are helpful too."
