I'm sorry I didn't take photos. The staff is amazing! They try to remember you, which is neat in this Era of faceless shopping. Wonderful selection, and the area around this business is wonderful. One of the best afternoons I've had in a while.

I kick myself everytime I go to Lowes or Home Depot for outdoor and indoor plants without going here first. Best Feeds has such an amazing variety of house plants and outdoorsy flowers and plants. Everyone who works there is so nice and helpful and also and actually know what they are talking about if you have questions with anything! It's worth the nice drive through North Park to check them out!

The service was great considering I made the mistake of going there on the day before mother's day. It was a zoo but still got what I wanted in short order. The staff is always amazing. Helpful and knowledgeable. Also the best deal on propane around. 20 lbs for 20 bucks.
