This nursery and store is exceptional at finding uncommon/rare plants and veggies. You can also buy chickens here too! The staff is amazing, and they respond to text messages promptly. The are through when sending messages over txt. Definitely a high-end quality store. If you want cheap/generic there is always the Walmart & Fred Meyer Garden centers! Other great local shops (of this caliber) are: Jungle Fever Exotics, Wild Thyme Nursery, Portland Ave. Nursery & Watson's garden center. None of the other stores I have listed stock live chickens!

They have baby chicks in once a month! Went in today and got a rare blue beauty! Great customer service. Chicken supplies a little pricey but they do have Rare breeds!
