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

- Stacy Herron, January 2023

"Love this place. Great variety to choose from."

"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."

- Jared Eckert, June 2024

"Great staff!"
