Tired looking staff on a early spring day seemed highly agitated by a visit by us while they were OPEN. It felt as if we were being perceived as we were trespassers as we were just looking at plants in the newly opened winter storage green houses. From the outside, in the aisles. Within view of the store front. I've been a landscaper for 28 years and have several jobs with a need for specialty plants already lined up. But this fellow in his haste turned us away with his agitated behavior. The 2 elderly women, at the counter inside, then attempted to ignore us.

Read moreI heard about Storyes from a coworker cuz I was looking for a dwarf Japanese maple tree. I called them up asked if they had one.

I went up 2 days later they had them but they were $260-$290. The guy that asked from across the nursery if we needed any help came walking over not wearing a mask. I felt as though they catered to the rich. I did not feel welcomed. Anyways good news is my boyfriend found me a the tree at Walmart for $15. Bad news is it was a wasted day when I did t have to travel all that way...
