Pass this one by

by kipper

I would like to say positive things about this store because it is not a chain & is really cute but overall I don't think it is a good shopping experience. The plants are expensive & the staff is rude. One staffer even yelled at me for walking into a greenhouse which was staff only but not marked as such in any way.

With Bachaman's one block away why bother with this place?

  • Pros: Cute, locally owned
  • Cons: Unpleasant staff, hard to get to

Disease and root-bound

by gardenlarry

Don't mistake good marketing for anything else than that. I have repeatedly seen stressed, diseased and root-bound product. . . with no warranty.

Buyer beware! Pricey and very poor quality!

Go to a more reputable vendor!

  • Pros: Neon yellow? . . . Hey doesn't yellow attract insect The owner must have a market (not horticulture) degree.
  • Cons: Diseased, stressed, root-bound plants.
