    We attended the Grand Opening and walked away with quite the haul. Everyone was super nice and helpful.

    I'd been wanting to visit this beautiful plant shop for weeks, and when I finally did, my heart was…read morefull. The atmosphere is amazing, and the aesthetics are incredible. I love all the plants, and I especially appreciate that the owner features products from other small businesses in her shop. The owner is AMAZING--her personality and aura are truly special. She was warm, welcoming, and friendly, and on top of that, she's absolutely beautiful. She's created a stunning space not only for her plants but also for other local creators. I also love that she hosts different community events, giving people a chance to connect. Plus, she's extremely knowledgeable about plants. I bought a small cactus for about $6, and it's thriving beautifully. Prices vary depending on what you're looking for, and there are plenty of plant-related products available as well. Plenty of parking spaces in the shopping center. I highly recommend this wonderful plant shop. The intentional beauty and attention to detail are evident everywhere. Overall, a 10/10 experience.

    Abby was extremely helpful in helping me find a plant in memory of mom on Mother's Day. Mom is a…read moreplant lover and she would've LOVED this place! Abby is so sweet and kind. I told her my needs and the areas where the potential plants will reside and she found these two that should work. She was attentive in my not having a green thumb and even repotted the Pin-stripe calathea for me--very nice touch. She educated me on why my succulents always die to look for plants with darker leaves as they are better at low light vs lighter colored leaves since my home doesn't get a lot of light. She loves her plants! She requested pics of their new home haha. There they are and I promise to take care of them! John

    Like many things in life, we thought we could buy bamboo online. What a mistake that would have…read morebeen. The nursery is truly fun to walk around to see all the different types of bamboo. The kids had a blast running through the bamboo forest and playing in the dock near the pond. We spoke to Trevor and told him what our yard was like and what type of bamboo we were looking for. What a treat to learn about the different shapes bamboo could take. Most importantly, the bamboo we wanted for one corner of our home receives a lot of sun, and we would have picked a bamboo that turns to yellow in bright sun, not the look we wanted. The icing on the cake, we were given a very helpful book on bamboo and learned a few tricks on how to cut our buckets in half to get more bamboo for the money. You won't be disappointed to visit here.

    Surprised to find out there was a $15 adult admission fee, this is a nursery not park. Well, since…read morewe were already there, we decided to go in and explore. The bamboo paths and short walking trails were pleasant and it's a peaceful vibe. However, the koi pond was poorly maintained, there were no koi and covered with some kind of water weeds, which was disappointing. Overall, if an admission fee is being charged for a nursery, it would be upkeep better to make the visit feel more worthwhile.
