Awesome selection of products, but there is a serious staff issue. Staff will never greet you or proactively ask you if you need help or have any questions. I've also noticed they'll avoid eye contact in the hopes that you'll avoid asking them for help. Too bad - such a nice place.

I wish I could leave less the one star. The people working here have an attitude problem. I came here with my Grandmother to ask some really simple questions about some trees they were selling and the whole time we were talking to this women she was trying to tell us to go ask the other person in the garden area but there was no one there & she wouldnt believe us, she was actually arguing with us about it but we simply just wanted to ask some questions. As we were leaving before we were even out of ear shot she says to another customer sorry about them as if our simple questions were such

Thanks for helping me create the perfect garden! I was happily surprised to see that you carry 420 grow supplies and loved being able to ask for natural pest control solutions from the knowledgable staff!

Expensive. Salesperson did not offer to order an item in where at another nursery they offered to graciously! Could be more appreciative of customers.
