I was trying to find a nursery to find plants\bushes for my backyard so I took a ride, they have everything I want and need, bulk top soil, stones and plants, plants. No Citronella though, but once you turn off the road onto the grounds, very peaceful and the staff welcoming, helpful, and friendly

Have issue with waterfall water level dropping. I have spoke to several landscape and waterscape companies but with never a call back. Bill called me back the next day even though they are the second farthest away. He pleasantly discussed probable causes and effects and is currently trying to fit me into his already busy schedule. Obviously, when THEY do the work I will update my review. As for plants they have become a regular stop of the only eight nurseries statewide I use for my eclectic plantings.
