I was shopping there recently and picked out a beautiful black flowering plant but as I was walking out of the greenhouse, a woman staff member chased after me and snatch it out of my hands.

Their broccoli starts that are established in my garden stay alive during the summer, even though some bolt. They also produce side shoots. Some have even wintered over and have grown again. I buy their ready made flower baskets some years and other years I make my own with flowers I buy from them. My strawberries (everbearing) are still going strong after 10 years. I love how helpful...
