In the front is a small gourmet coffee shop with a variety of pastries. The decor around the property from building to building gives a hometown country feel vibe. The next building is an indoor shop with tons of trinkets to decorate your garden and living space. Then onto the star of the show! The shrubbery, the trees, the succulents, the flowers. There is an indoor glass greenhouse with a variety of plants that thrive in low light and high humidity. When you exit to the outside sculpted walkway, you'll find pops of color that dazzle your eyes. I don't care if I was a carpenter bee or a bumblebee or a killer bee. I would definitely wanna live here.

They don't allow flowers in ICU, so the Flower Cart put together a small bouquet of balloons attached to a stuffed animal. (My relative loves pigs and they actually had a stuffed pig!) They made great suggestions and my relative received the bouquet within two hours!!! I was shocked and thrilled. Also, the price was excellent! I plan to call and order flowers tomorrow now that she is out of ICU. I highly recommend the Flower Cart. I had an excellent experience and will use them again if needed. --- Called and ordered a bouquet delivered today. They did a beautiful job. Great value for the money. See photo.

The owner and his wife are very nice and friendly, i will say they always get back to me when i reach out. We hired bulldog to redo our backyard, install grass, fix sprinklers and haul out some bricks and debris we have on our side yard. The completed out back yard with the grass and even added some pants and trees for us. unfortunately t something we were told would be done in a week took nearly months to finish. We were having crazy weather but on the days they said they were coming they never showed up and we would be waiting days after to hear from them again. On the days they did show up sometimes it would be till 3pm... they would be there 2 hours and leave again... not to be back for another 4 days, so our project was very very long. The sprinklers installed when they left never properly worked and unfortunately a lot of our grass and plants are suffering now because of it... we are having to reinstall new sprinkler heads on our own. The debris on the side yard is still there. after they finished the backyard we were told in 2 week they would come back and finish the job and collect the debris. Its been 3 months since then. I reached out being very patient asking when they will return and they told me 1 week then 2 weeks then another 2 weeks and just last week they told me they would be there Sunday, and if not Tuesday... Here it is Wednesday and they never showed up. The work that they did do i will say was beautiful, they do great work when its done. I was very thankful that i could finally sit in my backyard and not cringe at how terrible it was... I am really hoping I can come back and update this review and say they completed the job once and for all.

You just need to be discerning and don't have high hopes for nothing but glitz and glamor. We have purchased some fruits and vegetables, which we have not complaints about. We also have purchased some beautiful healthy plants at reasonable prices, as well as some "garage sale" type items that saved us from having to traverse neighborhoods looking for said type items. They do have vendors that sell miscellaneous "junk" and we have bought a few items from them as well. This may not be a place for the bougie, albeit we did see some booths with bougie (in our minds eyes) items for sale. Even though we have been here a few times I still don't think we have traversed the entire property. There is just so much and so many booths. We'll be back again. Your choice, based upon the totality of the reviews here, whether to spend a couple hours checking it out.

Due to the timing, not all the booth spaces were occupied. We spent about a half hour walking around checking out the folks that were there. There weren't many folks shopping. The vendors are on grass and dirt. You have to be a bit careful walking around as there are many dips and holes in the ground. There was one produce vendor. We got some lovely huge radishes from them for only $1. Most of the other vendors were clothing, tools and accessories, jewelry and a couple household items. One vendor had a mix of antiques, junk, and collectibles. I did find a gal selling some miscellaneous items on a side table -- just to get rid of them at 50 cents apiece. From her, I bought a lovely sheesham wood box that had been spray painted silver. I'll use this for an art project. I also got a pretty silver and black bracelet. So, two bargains for just a $1. They're only open certain days. So double check before you make the trip. I imagine in season -- and not after a holiday -- that there are more vendors, and it would be more worthwhile. I'm still glad we got to go. Always like checking out the different markets and thrifts.

At…read morefirst glance, it looks like you're about to hit the jackpot--but once you start browsing, it feels a bit underwhelming. From a distance the shelves look full, but up close there isn't much that stands out. Kind of a "Mona Lisa effect"--better from afar than up close. That said, the staff was friendly. One woman who worked there--short, wore glasses--was especially kind, though I didn't catch her name. The store is laid out nicely, and they had a lot of furniture available. If you're furniture shopping, this might actually be a good stop; the pieces looked decent and reasonably priced. They also appeared to use a color-tag discount system, though I'm not sure if it changes daily. About half the store was clothing, and the other half was bric-a-brac and furniture. I personally didn't find much this visit, but it could've just been an off day. I'd consider checking back in a couple of weeks to see if inventory changes. I did leave with one fun find: a vintage floating pool drink holder shaped like a rainbow, with space for ice and drinks--super cute and only $5. On the flip side, some prices felt off, like used wrapping paper priced at $3 when you can get a new roll at Dollar Tree for $1. Overall, it's worth checking out, especially for furniture, but don't go in expecting major thrifting treasures. Pretty cool that they are open on a Sunday, though. I will give them that. A medium size parking lot right in front. And a big grassy area if you have a dog that needs to go to the bathroom. Check it out? Definitely! Are there better thrift stores in Lakeland? Definitely!
