I look forward to Anne's opening every spring! I am an avid cactus planter and most places only carry a fairly standard variety. Anne's not only carries all the standard beauties like veggies, herbs, stunning perennials, but they also carry a very happy and healthy variety of cactus. In addition to the variety of plants, the staff there, for lack of a better word, amazing. They are extremely kind to me each time I'm there, even if I can't get a lot. They are knowledgeable, and are always willing to take the time to discuss best care practices, exciting tips and tricks, and share the schedule for when to expect even more little beauties. The lot is easy to access off the main road, and though its smaller, its more intimate, and I've never had a hard time getting parking. Its extremely customer friendly in the setup. Not too much distance to walk, shaded for those who can't handle too much sun, and there are wagons for carrying things around if you are hauling too many precious babies. They are a little more pricey, but the experience and quality of the plants is worth it, even if I can only get a few at a time. The picture I've added is 3 different cacti of the same family that I got from Anne's, 1 for each year I've lived in Freeport!

We have been going to Anne's locations for years now and will always continue to do so. They have a great selection of fresh plants and beautiful flowers with extremely kind and helpful staff. We've never been disappointed with either their product or their prices.
