There are two fitting rooms and the worker was very friendly in getting me situated. Items can range in price, but they do make sense given quality of the products. I walked out with two tops and was interested in more items, but they did not fit. Would I go back? Yes.

I asked for a couple hardware items and they said "downstairs" which is a cave of miscellaneous items. I looked for 10 minutes for two common items, but couldn't find them. Finally, I left. As I walked out one man asked, "Did you find what you wanted?" Obviously not as I was walking toward the door. I replied, "I'll buy it on Amazon. It's a lot easier." And I did. No wonder brick and mortar stores are going out of business. Lazy.

I have thick skin, so I don't mind the obvious air of superiority. However, I visited with a friend yesterday, and the way an older blonde woman approached us was incredibly disrespectful. She asked, "Are you girls looking for something?" When my friend mentioned that she wanted to sell some fancy crystalware, she was met with dismissive excuses like, "We can't take that much; our store is small." The interaction felt discriminatory and selective--the kind of attitude I don't want to see in my community.

He was very kind and welcoming and encouraged me to tour the garden which I did! G A R D E N It's large and super varied in plants and had many sculptures that were available for purchase too. There was even a small pond with koi fish! A very peaceful quiet place to enjoy nature, go for a walk, read a book on the various benches and tables in the garden, or hang out with a friend. E V E N T S They also have an event schedule online with sunset yoga and plant trade event but most events seem to require paid tickets.

A man with a vision! Hiring Keith Stover, (Nature's Design), to beautify the front area of my house…read morewas an amazing experience. He already works on my mom's garden, which is breathtakingly beautiful, and for my birthday she split the cost with me to have him work his magic at my house. I know very little about such things so I really trusted him and his vision, and I am so grateful. He was very attentive to my tastes and listen to my ideas. He often gave me options to choose which I liked best. Very quickly we were on the same page about all of the little things that would make me happy. When the first estimate was a little higher than my budget, he pared it down and we focused on the most important areas - and he was still able to make it totally beautiful. Keith was a pleasure. He has a quiet demeanor. He and his assistant were super respectful and it was clear right away that they really care about doing everything right. He stuck to the schedule, he worked super hard and it was immediately evident that he is someone who is very proud of his work, regardless of the size of the project. I'm actually saving money so I can hire him again to add some of the things that were outside the scope of last year's project. They installed an irrigation system and showed me how to program the timer, but honestly I haven't had to touch it. It just works. Everything grew. Everything still looks healthy and gorgeous. It's really the gift that keeps on giving. I'm really proud of my garden, and it really is the result of Keith's vision, Keith's design and Keith's implementation. He's SO GOOD! You should call him and get on his schedule because I imagine he's pretty busy making magic happen :-)

Raman, the owner, was easy to communicate with. When an earlier job unexpectedly ran long and he needed to reschedule our original appointment, he gave us several hours of advance notice, was sincerely apologetic, and made a real effort to find another time that worked for us. No big deal - things happen, and I really appreciated how proactively and professionally he handled it. On the day of the job, his associate showed up right on time. I was impressed that he arrived having anticipated what the project might require and brought all of the materials he would need to complete the job. He got straight to work, did a very neat and professional installation, and cleaned up everything nicely afterward. We're very happy with the end result and will hire them again for any future needs.
