Lots of cool and unusual plants here. They even sell some corpse flower (Amorphophallus), living stones, unusual cacti, natives I don't often see! Prices are honest and the plants are all quite happy. We got a Jerusalem sage, a big mature specimen in good health. They also sell a nice selection of seeds. The staff are friendly and helpful. I really like this nursery!

Small neighborhood nursery full of big surprises. I found a number of plants un available at the big box stores. Went on a weekday, had the place to myself. Spent over an hour just exploring the surprising selection, from potted vegetables to beautiful fruit and specimen trees. I promise next time I go back I'm taking my truck! Can't wait.

Took my first succulent to them becuase some leaves were falling off. Shane was super sweet. He helped me get better soil, get the small leaves into a new planter to get new growth and helped me find a few new ones to plant with my daughter. The place is gorgeous, pricing fair, and there is lots to see and enjoy. I'll be back for more.

The shop has lots of variety and very helpful staff. I came in with cuttings I needed to plant and duck-shaped pots I wanted to fill with plants. Dena walked me through each section of the shop and helped me with every one of my plant needs! I ended up leaving with a cute hanging plant too!

I bought 2 bags of the plant foundry soil in the ziploc bags; they mix it themselves and within weeks this yellow mold fungus started to form on the soil of just the plants I replanted with the their soil mix. I called and it was like without pictures I can’t tell, or I can send pictures or come in with pictures, well even with pictures I wouldn’t be able to tell. I will never buy from them again. I will say the people other than this experience are generally nice.
