Oh and don't forget the train! So fun. Parking is a challenge so be ready for that. We had a wonderful time.

So our group booked one of their plant bingo sessions. The owner, Stacey, is so pleasant. She goes to great effort to make it a fun and relaxing experience. There was delicious jasmine tea, refreshments, and a variety of plants to choose from for prizes. The lighted pavilion is a lovely outdoor space. We were there for two hours, and then we had a chance to check out the shop, which is full of beautiful gift items and teas. You can tell that the whole place is a labor of love.

They have a nice selection of plants, but their stuff is overpriced implying better service and…read moregrace. I am disappointed the store does not stand behind their product. I purchased two expensive trees (among other plants) a year ago, and one of them died over the winter. I requested a replacement, but the service team stated that I missed the one-yer warranty period by a week. If you charge that much for your product, you should back it up. Not coming through because I missed a one-year window by a week is unfair and shortsighted. One would be better off buying from Lowe's or Home Depot a quarter mile north. What does one receive for the premium pricing? Better plants? Nope, mine died. Better service? Nope, denied replacement because of a week. The value is not there.

Mike is a very friendly and helpful manager who listens well to what you tell him you are looking for. In addition to furniture they have a very good variety of plants and a huge room full of pottery in all sizes from little pots to 3 foot high ceramic pots in many glazed colors and textures. They also sell and deliver soil and a variety of decorative rocks. Alex is a member of the family that owns the business and handles the plants. She stocks all the usual annuals and perennials but also finds some new varieties that are very fetching. They also have a large variety of bushes from roses to hydrangeas and tall grasses. I bet you a dollar you can't visit and leave without buying something!

Their Halloween/pumpkin patch season is my favorite!

So after $33, being in the sun for 2.5 hours with no shade, my daughter walks away empty handed and crying about no candy. I will never shop at Greenstreet after this crook activity, going to homestead gardens instead.

My parents had a beautiful wood based chair that they no longer wanted/needed, so they asked if I…read morewanted to take it off their hands. It was barely used and was in excellent condition, but for some odd reason the cushion was sinking. I figured, if I got it reupholstered to the color of my choice and had the cushion replaced, it would be good as new. I took to my handy dandy Yelp app and did a search and Mill End popped up. I'm familiar with the shop, since a family member worked there years ago, but I had no clue they did this type of work. I gave them a call and was told to bring in a picture to evaluate the chair because they didn't want me to be without my chair for a long time. Well, I thought bringing in the chair itself would be easier, since I wasn't in a hurry for it. I was greeted by a very knowledgeable staff member who gushed about how beautiful the chair was. She did an evaluation of what would be needed to repair and reupholster it and then showed me the fabrics that were available in the color I selected. They have a large variety of fabrics on-sight in the store, but they do have options that can be ordered. The one I selected was on-sight. We agreed upon the estimated price, I filled out some paperwork and I was out the door. It was literally that quick and simple. Since they have a pretty extensive client list waiting for their projects before me, my estimated date for the chair to be completed was about 2 months or so. To my surprise, I was called about a month later informing me that my chair was ready. I arrived and was extremely pleased with my brand new chair. The workmanship was beautifully done and the cushion they replaced was perfectly placed. They did such a phenomenal job, my parents wanted their chair back. Lol! Not on my watch! Yes, Mill End is a bit pricey, but so worth it! They're truly professionals. I'm planning to get my dinning room chairs reupholstered in the near future, so I made sure to get an estimate while I was there. I'll absolutely be back in the near future.
