I approached the counter ready to ask about tomato plants but before I did I was explaining my weekend serious health event for the purpose of finding the most low maintenance approach and best plants for my garden boxes considering the health risky heat and late date for planting.....Mary and the other worker were busy with their hands and early in the conversation Mary cut me off impatiently and said " what's your question"....the ladies pulled it together and helped but I can't get over the feeling that I was a bother to them initially. I've spent decades in retail customer service and there's never an excuse to appear too busy to stop and help the customer or act snobby. 2 stars because others have had better experiences that I respect.

This is my favorite greenhouse in Toledo. Very interesting selection. I bought a Plumeria Tree from here years ago and love coming into see their mother plant. Owner and shop cat are super friendly. Wish I could give extra stars just for that! ⭐️⭐️
