Everything is laid out neatly on tables so it is easy to inspect the plants and read the growing requirements. The prices are inconsistent on the same size containers, so if you are trying to price things out before you check out you'll need to read each price tag. There is a decent supply of trees and shrubs. The staff are very helpful in giving suggestions based on your growing conditions if you don't have anything particular in mind.

We have never had such spoiled birds especially with the Wayne's seed mix - they get into that like nothing else we have ever tried! Stop in and meet the friendly staff, I think it might become a regular drive and stop for you too.

We used Renee for our flowers at our wedding. My husband and I are not big flower people. Our…read moreoriginal plan had been to go to Trade Joe's or the farmer's market and just get some flowers there. I am so happy that my mother in law convinced us to go here instead. My mother in law was the main contact point for setting everything up with Renee. She is much more flower savvy than either of us. She arranged to have boutonnieres made for the guys (special ones for us), corsages for the moms, and flower buckets for the ladies to make their own bouquets with. We gave Renee our basic color scheme and that was about it. When we showed up at the barn for our wedding the flowers were all set out. They were perfect! The colors were just right, there was a good variety, and the centerpieces weren't too intrusive. Renee also took care of the setting up and arranging of all the centerpieces. That was a huge help to us too. Not having to take care of the setup allowed us more time to relax and take photos. The ladies really liked their selection of flowers in their buckets too. They had fun matching their outfits and flowers. Renee's flowers were a wonderful addition to the wedding. I am so happy that my mother in law convinced us to go this route. Skip the expensive florist and check out Renee and her flower farm. 96/100

The first meeting went extremely well and I paid a deposit for the few buckets of flowers I was ordering up and was told that was the minimum order which was fine because it gave me a nice variety of various fillers and such that I needed to complete centerpieces and arbor. I assumed that I would get a generous amount of flowers as this is a one woman show with her own farm and it is nearing harvest season in mid-september so I figured she may be more generous. I arrived and it was a standard amount of flowers which by the way I did love all the selections. they were in fantastic shape and ready to roll. What left me feeling a little less than happy is my final bill was an additional 100.00. This was double what I though I would be paying and for the amount of flowers I got I just felt a little disappointed. I could have easily ran to trader joes or sam's club and gotten several big bunches of mixed bouquets and came out with more flowers and less expense and run around. I try to support local business as much as possible because it is good karma and Renee is a very nice lady but I would make a different decision if I had to do it over again.
