Great little local garden center. Great choice of trees in the back of property. Much larger establishment than it looks from the front. If you see something you like, bring it to the register to hold, or it will be gone. If you leave and think it will be there the next day, you also may be disappointed. Like it, Get it! Great choices of annuals, perrenials, shrubs, vegetable plants and especially trees. Well worth stopping and smelling the roses!

Super bright and cheery atmosphere. The staff was friendly, helpful and articulately knowledgeable. The set up was lovely and when I was there, the world felt normal again and I would suggest taking a trip if you're feeling a little wiped out from the crazy hustle and bustle of life.

Beautiful area, little pond and waterfall, the whole shabang. The staff roams around, periodically asking if you need help with anything. Great experience.
