One Friday I was at home thinking about plants, as one does, and decided today was the day I get…read moreone of my wishlist plants, either a Hoya Kerri or a Hoya Hindu Rope. I called & facebook messaged every nursery in town and up to an hour and a half away to try and find these special plants! The only nursery that replied back with a "We do have a hindu rope plant" was Wild Thymes! And to my surprise they were a mere 30 minutes from my house! I'd heard of Wild Thymes before, at a Covington Farmer's Market years ago my best friend and I had purchased air plants from them. Boy am I lucky that they invited me onto their property to buy some BEAUTIFUL and RARE plants! Not only is the property & greenhouse LUSH and WONDERFULLY GREEN, the owners are incredible and were SO MUCH FUN to talk with! I enjoyed every second of my time in their secret garden! They have an enormous collection of cactus, sanseveria, and quite a few begonias. There are plenty of different sizes to choose from, and they're all special plants, taken care of by people who truly love them. I'm actually sentimental about this place and I plan to go back a bunch!

I've been coming here for three years and bought dozens of plants here, and driven up from Mandeville just to ask them questions about things. They're always helpful, if they're busy, just wait a minute and ask them, they're generous wIth their time, the owner has been super helpful and gone WAY out of his way to solve some problems with my roses. I really can't say enough about this place. And I would definitely rather give my money to a local business then to the big box, and people at the big box have no idea of plants and growing, they're just clicking on a barcode. Yeah, I'm biased but I love this place

Whoever came out asked if I had a landscaper's license which I do not. I asked him if there was anywhere nearby that had a large selection of plants. He said Lacombe or Covington without giving me names of places. He said "i'm busy" and shut the door in my face. What he didn't ask is if I had a vendor's license which allows someone to purchase wholesale. Totally rude jerk representing your company, but it was probably the owner.
