Months ago I received an Earl May gift card. A few weeks before Christmas I decided to stop in here…read moreand use the gift card on some holiday plants. Specifically, poinsettias. The two poinsettias I chose didn't have foil wrappers on them, they were just in the black grow pots. I asked the salesperson working if they had any extra foil wrappers, and he explained that their supplier didn't send them with the plants (or ran out, I can't remember which). This was kind of disappointing. I thought for sure Earl May would have a back stock of these cheap foil wrappers, but there wasn't any attempt made to go beyond the explanation I was given or even recommend what I might use in their place. I wasn't going to buy pots. I didn't press the issue because these were for myself. Had I been buying them for others as gifts, I would have put them back, or asked that a wrapper be taken off of another plant. Not sure why I didn't ask about this in the first place, other than it seemed like I would have been inconveniencing this employee. Since I had the gift card and a coupon, I went ahead and left with the ones I had chosen. Their overall selection was pretty skimpy at the time I was there. poinsettias were just on one display near the cash register area. My poinsettias are still alive, though I wouldn't say thriving. Nice, clean store. Nice items for sale. Customer services was fine, but not extraordinary. Few customers and enough employees that I expected better. For selection I recommend Iowa City Landscaping and Garden Center or make the drive to Pierson's in Cedar Rapids.

We looked at other local nurseries and ended up at Shademaster. The other we were interested in…read morepossibly using never came out for suggestions and pricing. It worked out great for us however. Alex came out the same day and took photos and measurements. She went back to the office and laid in representative plantings in the photo of the house. She provided cost estimates and a plan and emailed them for review. We made a couple of changes and adjustments and work began all within a week. The crew came on one of the hottest days and got most of the work done on day 1. They came back the next morning to finish rocking and final cleanup. We are very pleased with the collaboration, ideas, knowledge, quality of stock and pricing. We are quite pleased with the final results! We will use Shademaster again when another project comes around.

So I piss off a few "good" drivers (I'm not one of them) by my craziness and I pull into their parking lot. The girl in the store that helped me was so super, super friendly! She helped me pick out a couple of plants and she suggested a pot too (I know, a sales tactic, but it works when the price is low and the pot is super super cute! and I felt like she wasn't being a salesperson she just thought it would look nice in the particular pot). She even potted my plant for me and put rocks in the bottom of the pot for drainage :) My plant is so happy at work and I love having it here. Next time I drive by this store I am going to stop again! In shops like this the friendliness means sooo much. I am already looking forward to stopping in again on my next visit :) The house plants/succulents/cacti have good prices. I did not look at or inquire about cut flowers while there so I can not speak to their quality or price.
