Great selections and varities. Rude guy on counter. I see you snickered, you could have informed me. As if I know carts are not allowed near the counter. Also, realized when I got home, the prices on receipt are wrong. He probably forgot there are 4" beddings that are sold cheaper than the usual price. Discounted they say, but not when you go to the counter and paying. Inconsistent pricing and NOT well-informed worker.

I didn’t catch his name, but the young man at the counter was very helpful. He educated me on keeping my plants from freezing outside in the winter, and was just overall informative and friendly. I came in for peppers(duh, out of season), but left with some beautiful plants and more knowledge than I came in with. Very affordable too! Great business.

This nursery has the best selection of healthy African Violets and they are labeled as to the variety and already set up with wicks. I came home with 2 beauties: an AV and a streptocarpus, plus their store brand of special African Violet fertilizer (only takes 1/4 tsp to a gallon of water). The store owner Ken is so knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Also the lady working with him was friendly and helpful, too. She very carefully packed my plants in a box with shredded paper to avoid any leaves breaking off on the trip home. So if you are in search of some special houseplants, this is the place to go. And of course, they have all kinds of other plants, too.

Nice plant selection, however, you must wander around on your own without any expectation of staff assistance. Upon arrival, and while there the entire time (each time), there is a serious lack of customer support or acknowledgment, even plant knowledge. The only person that was remotely kind was the owner and one young man who helped us place our plants in our vehicle. We expected more from a nursery located in such a prime area. Who knows, maybe the third time is a charm? We may never know, since there are other friendly staffed and stocked nurseries around. We thought we'd give this place a chance...Hopefully, this place turns around. A positive change is in order!
