DO NOT SHOP HERE I bought $40 worth of plants from here four days ago. I told the associate exactly where I would be putting them (in plant holders next to my mailbox in direct sunlight). She told me to water them every morning, which I did. By day three they started to wither. When I tried to get a refund or replacement, the owner just kept lecturing me and telling me how I was in the wrong. At first he said the soil was too dry. I informed him that I didn’t water them today because I didn’t want a mess in my car when I knew I was going to be bringing them back. When I told him that I followed his associates directions, he then changed his excuse and said I probably watered them too much. At the end of the day, it’s just bad business. He lost a customer over $20 (wholesale) because he thought the customer was wrong.

Such a beautiful little gem! The staff are kind, and it’s clear how much love and care they put into their plants. Their flower selection is gorgeous with so many vibrant mums to choose from, along with other healthy, well-cared-for blooms. It felt so welcoming to shop here, and I can’t wait to come back each season for all my flowers!
