Critical: Responsiveness Wanted to buy a bush, stood there for like 10 min and no one helped me or said hello. The people even helped customers that came after me. I'm guessing they pick and choose who they prefer to assist and a couple seems more willing to buy something than one single person. Cool not getting my business at all.

The place is very run down, which is neither here nor there. The owner/manager bothered me. Prices would be marked, but somehow when they add it up it is WAY more than it should be. When they need to split a plant off the stock, the owner/manager always makes sure you get the smallest most sickly flower bulb that isn't in bloom. The hosta you get will be the one that bugs have chewed on. Or, my personal favorite, the plant you want was sitting in the wrong area so it is way more expensive.
