Lovely plants and knowledgeable staff, However, I will not shop here again. On my last trip there I over heard the owner correct an employee rather harshly and then quiz the other two employees to make sure they knew the procedure the other had missed. All of this was done right in front of me. She was incredibly indiscreet in how she handled a very small issue with an employee that had actually offered me some delightful customer service, and this sweet woman was clearly embarrassed and rattled.

Read moreDrove here during a week day to buy some spring plants and switch it up from my usual garden center, I try to keep to local places only.

Went back to Fairview the next day and got everything I needed and some with tons of assistance and selection. Hope you guys can find more employees soon....

It feels good to spend my money supporting a...
