The other staff member came over so that the three of us where all about 5 feet apart. The original staff member explained that I was looking for a plant and the new staff member did not acknowledge me and told the other staff member that the plants were sold out and "she should've planted those plants in the ground already; they won't even take now" in a scolding tone (yes, she was aware it was me looking to buy). She was offensive, she wouldn't look at me or speak to me - the paying customer, and I stood there mouth agape. She didn't care or notice because she never looked at me, of course, and just walked off. After a moment of processing the intense dismissive snobbery, I walked away from the rest of my cart and left. (Please note: I work two jobs and managed to buy the plant elsewhere and had a wonderful harvest despite the timing not being ideal. - Also, I heard later that the rude staff member was related to the owners, but cannot verify). Another time before the one above, I had gone to grab some plants and asked the staff member at checkout about a specific type of bush. She had no idea and wanted to radio in to someone else working that section. It was taking him a bit to respond, so while waiting, I said, "no worries, I'll come back another time, I don't have the time now." She ignored me and kept radio-ing, I said, "really, now is not good. No need to call him." And she continued to ignore me and call on the radio - while not ringing me up. In the end I said, "you know what, I don't need any of these items" and she finally faced me saying "Oh, are you sure? Ok. Have a great day." Just - what?!?! Most staff do not know about the plants or care, they just work there, so a heads up if you're looking for that highly knowledgable service. Driving in/out and parking is a nightmare unless it is empty. Scratching your car to fit two cars on the road is almost inevitable. The energy here is all weird. They are always frantic on the radios as if they are all always annoyed at each other or annoyed to have to do their job, the majority of staff members I have met don't respect their customers (they seem to avoid them), and it is a very cramped shopping experience. While yes, this place is overpriced, I'm happy to pay a little extra for a local business and not a big box store. That said, this isn't a little extra and they don't treat their customers well at all. We all arrive at garden centers smiling and excited for the warmer weather, it is odd to have such poor treatment when the buy in is there from the start. That points to leadership, but who knows. No longer a place I frequent or recommend, but still might go in a pinch with very low expectations.

I love swinging by to check out what's new in stock, explore the pot selection, and be greeted by friendly staff. It feels like a real community of plant lovers. The folks here have been wonderful about offering plant advice both by email and in-person. Here's a recent example: Last week, I had a plant crisis: my favorite plant -- a gloriously large begonia I purchased in honor of a dearly departed friend -- was dying and mostly gone. Despite my best efforts to save her, the fungal disease had already taken over. I was desperate to find a way to at least keep some part of her alive. So I reached out to Bark & Vine for help with emergency plant surgery and received incredible support. Isabella and Mariah talked me through how to propagate cane begonias from stem nodes, and were more than happy to advise. Then the next day, knowing how much sentimental value this begonia had for me, Christine reached out to me with a miracle: by chance, a stem from my original plant had actually fallen off and been propagated at the store into an adorable 4 inch beauty, which I could come by to pick up. I was overwhelmed with tears and joy at this news. Isabella, Mariah, and Christine, you really came through for me - Thank you!! I won't forget the kindness I received from you. And Thank you Bark & Vine staff for all the magic you bring to your customers!
