Let me just say, I love flowers but I am the worlds worst gardener. Everyone always says, "try these plants, you can't kill them." Well, I can. But every plant I have gotten from Soares has thrived, even under my care. My window boxes are gorgeous - My potted pansies are healthy and happy. And for the first time ever, I grew 3 sunflowers from the free seeds they gave us and they are already about 7 inches tall! My proudest gardening accomplishment. The staff is so knowledgeable and friendly, even when I message them stupid questions. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Nice local garden center. Some plants are well priced but some are smallish and you can get a better deal elsewhere.
