My only issue is they stay busy, and it always seems the easier is busy answering questions and or the phone, so the lines and wait can be a bit long. But they are very helpful and definitely take the time. It just wouldn't hurt to have other staff do that vs the cashier.

They are closed during the winter and the outdoor garden plants seem to happen later here than at other garden centers; the plants arrive in full leaf and beautiful in mid- to late May... but some plants fare best when transplanted while they are dormant so do your research depending on what you are shopping for. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Pricing feels high, although they do have a good selection during summer so it's worth a visit. They always have huge beautiful flowers.

In addition to the plants, they have pots, garden art, a whole wall of different kinds of potting soils, and right now (September) they have Halloween decorations to make your garden spooky. They even have hay bales! Staff was friendly. Prices felt on the higher side but it was worth it to me for the hard-to-find flower colors.

When I talked to John the owner, he offered me 1 5 foot pine tree. When I mentioned that wouldn't fill in the bare space left by his mistake, and that I wanted the open space filled in.

When I moved into the neighborhood and cleared an overgrown raised bed in my front yard, the staff helped me to select a range of plants that would alternately flower and add color from spring through fall, and grow to the right height for where I wanted to place them. Planters, plant food, bird feeders, pots, hoses...literally everything you need for your gardens. Why shop at a big box corporation when you can support a great small business in your own community?

I know I can always find a quality gift item for my garden-loving friends, a unique perennial for that odd spot in the yard, or a funky planter to make the perfect table setting. My most recent garden problem was finding a nicely shredded mulch that didn't leave behind big chunks at the end of each growing season. Lavocat's to the rescue! They have a wonderful hardwood fine-shredded mulch that's just perfect. If you're like me, and have a smaller garden - bagged mulch is what we need - whole truck loads just don't work. The knowledgeable and very helpful staff at Lavocat's will load your vehicle and you'll be very pleased with the results in your garden.

We were referred to Peter Burke of Gaelic Clover Landscape Design by our landscaper. As we entered…read moreour final phase of landscaping which had (eventual) patio elevation, sun/shade areas differences and drainage concerns, we needed someone that could tie these along with the deer and pests present in our neighborhood into something that would not only be beautiful but grow and flourish. We realized we needed someone familiar with all these factors and the characteristics of shrub, tree, and "pests" we would ultimately consider. Our initial visit was more extensive and detailed than expected, and we knew we had found someone that could overcome the challenges we faced. After review of the project scope and our tastes, which included some Japanese/Oriental plants and shrub considerations, we began the process of viewing and analyzing dozens upon dozens of plants, shrubs and trees. As a result of our meetings and changes, Peter designed a backyard patio and surrounding gardens that were beyond our imagination. We have come to realize that since the project was completed in early June 2022, his knowledge of plant sizes, spacing, bloom times and colors has truly become apparent. While meeting and indicating "Yes, we like that, and that would work...," it wasn't until we have been living with the results of his vision and brilliance that it solidified just how talented he is. The various shrubs and perennials (we did not plant annuals) have begun to bloom and display colors throughout the summer season and have been a true joy. We cannot wait for the fall foliage to reveal itself. The watering and care we have shown has allowed us to witness the growth firsthand and has left us in awe of just how beautiful it looks. In summary, we would without reservation, fully recommend Peter Burke as a landscape designer, as his design ability, creativity, knowledge and patience is well worth any investment. Thank you, Peter!
