Buckle up, folks, because if you think you’ve met a salesperson, you haven’t met this guy. He’s the ultimate Chad Broski, a brotein-powered plant maestro who’s here to pump up your garden game like he’s bench-pressing a truck.
From the moment I walked into the store, I knew I was in for something epic. This guy strutted over with an aura of sheer bro-confidence, wearing a “Sun’s Out, Guns Out” tank top that showcased biceps the size of tree trunks. His handshake was so firm it probably realigned my spine, and his jawline could cut glass.
He doesn’t just sell plants—he’s the alpha of the plant world. When I told him I was looking for something low-maintenance, he let out a hearty laugh that shook the potted palms. “Bro, low-maintenance is my middle name,” he said, flexing one arm while effortlessly lifting a 100-pound bag of soil with the other. “Let me hook you up with some sick gains for your garden.”
This guy didn’t walk me through the store; he led me on a tour-de-force. He plucked a succulent from a shelf, gave it a little bro-fist bump, and said, “This bad boy thrives on neglect. Just like me in college.” Then he flexed again, and I swear the plants grew taller just to get a better look.
But the pièce de résistance was when he invited me to his “Bro Greenhouse.” Imagine a place where plants pump iron and flowers flex their petals. Vines climbed up in intricate patterns like they were training for American Ninja Warrior, and every leaf shimmered with an unnatural glow of pure vitality.
“Check this out,” he said, as he bench-pressed a couple of large potted ficuses, his muscles glistening in the ethereal light of the greenhouse. “These babies are tough, just like me after a triple-protein smoothie.” He then tossed the plants into the air, and they landed perfectly in their pots, standing straighter than before.
His plant knowledge was mind-blowing. He showed me a cactus that doubled as a blender for post-workout smoothies and an herb garden that allegedly whispered motivational quotes at dawn. He even demonstrated the motivational herb garden by setting up a mini microphone next to a basil plant, which promptly whispered, “You got this, bro,” in the tiniest, most inspiring voice.
When it came time to check out, he didn’t just ring me up; he loaded my car with the efficiency of a pit crew at a Formula 1 race. “Bro, you’re gonna crush this gardening thing,” he said, slapping me on the back so hard I nearly face-planted into my dashboard. “Remember, plants are like bros. Give them sunlight, water, and mad respect, and they’ll grow strong.”
So, if you’re looking for plants and gardening gear, and you want to be guided by the absolute Chad of the plant world, go see this guy. Just be prepared for a journey of epic proportions, bicep curls, and enough bro-energy to power a small...
Read moreI have been to this store many many times. I’m all about supporting local small business. But I’m going to have to find another place to support. The past two times I have purchased something I have been over charged. Not like a couple of dollars. The first time was $27!! The cashier was really bratty about it too. “Oh what, did I over charge you?”
Just a note about their seeds and greenhouse. The seeds have very very low germination rates. I kept meticulous notes about germination, harvest, and yield and every single pack I bought here did terrible. I know they get seeds from outside suppliers but I would recommend purchasing your own online from seeds now or baker creek. Also, the brassica starts I got from the greenhouse had tons of pests!!
Today.... I have been waiting to get a certain variety of chicks all spring. I checked the list. I called multiple times to make sure. I was assured they wouldn’t be sold out the same day. They arrive at 10:30 AM. Sure enough I make the trek out to Rockin E and there is not one single chick there. Clearly no one that works here has any idea about what is going on. I’m done wasting my money but also my TIME at this...
Read moreDO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. For 2 years in a row I have spent $200 each year for their big hanging plants. They are gorgeous at the nursery, but will not last you longer than 4 weeks. Both years I bought them in early May, with the PROMISE 2 YEARS IN A ROW that they would last all summer. They grow out very fast, the ends dry out and they die. Now I have wasted $400 and don’t have anything to decorate my porch and balcony. They will not replace them with new flowers or return them. I bought some other smaller planters at Walmart the same week, that are in the same spot these were.... and they are...
