Best plants
by lolardz
OK, if you want a awsome looking plant that will last you for ever then this is the place to go!!!
The sales people are very attentive and always suggesting the right choices that would look the best... they also have work shops on Saturdays that they are a must do if you want to have plants that thrive. Perfect place to bring the kids on a Sunday afternoon.
You spend a little more but you get a lot more.
- Pros: Service, location, quality
- Cons: parking

Great service and selection, bit pricey
by khancock0
This nursery has a great selection of plants, particularly native plants, and excellent service. Most (but not all) employees are well versed in the plants they sell. Those who are less sure of their knowledge are honest and will refer you to someone who is more experienced. A few problems: plants are rather pricey and they do not guarantee the plants. I know several places that will replace plants, but this nursery is not one of them. I took back some plants the same day, after I realized I had bought shade plants for a sunny area. They agreed to replace them, but told me this was not the normal policy. That seemed to me rather strict.
- Pros: great selection and service
- Cons: pricey, strict return policy
