They confirmed they didn't treat with BT and even had monarchs within a screened area on-site that were maturing. Literally the moment I fed a leaf of their milkweed to my 4 hungry growing monarch caterpillars, they all stopped eating and started being sluggish. The biggest caterpillar wouldn't eat through a leaf even though it was previously eating leaves from my yard down to the stem and left a weird brown residue on the leaf surface from this nursery's plant. Then it's next poop was red. All very odd and sad things to see since they were all so active and had huge appetites when I fed them the same species of showy milkweed from my yard. They've since all died, within ~3-4 days of feeding them milkweed from here. I don't know what they treated their milkweed with if not BT, but everything I've read online indicates these were classic signs of the guts breaking within the caterpillars from BT and killing them from the inside. So disappointed that I fed their plant to our monarchs. The one was probably a day away from chrysalis and was really big until it stopped eating.

Each time I ask about a product, more specifically along wall of plant products, not once have one, two, or three staff on duty been able to answer questions regarding products. I realize this may be asking too much, to have knowledge on a wall of product, but there must be a way for mngmt. to help them learn enough to answer questions(Mngmt please write basic info about groups of product, figure out a system to help customers : ). I had tried something for indoor plants, used this for a month until almost empty, did not work as directed. Went in again to buy another product similar. I took a new bottle off shelf of the one I had been trying, to show two employees and ask questions as to what I might be doing incorrectly. I also brought to counter another similar product to buy. Staff was nice, although knew nothing pertaining to what either product does or how to use it possibly differently than what I was doing. They put both items next to each other and read the ingredients. Maybe I should have brought the empty container/receipt and ask for refund, not sure. Could be a brand issue but I needed help, so I bought similar and hope it works but would have appreciated insight/suggestions on the two product(the used one and the new one). I also realize I can do online searches and figure this out. The End.

I asked if they had any 10/10/10 fertilizer and she said "we have 5/5/5 which is basically the same". I asked if she knew the difference, and she did not. (The ratio is the same, but 10/10/10 is definitionally twice as strong, so not a great suggestion really.) It's not the first time I've had a poor experience here. The staff generally seem mad at people and each other whenever I've been.

Gone were the seasonal parties and sales, gone was the fun and whimsey of the place. And the people who worked there, the real stars were mistreated by the monster and some left. Now the monster is gone, but this place hasn't come back to what it was. It seems that they don't have the same energy and vibe. But the plants aren't as vast as they were in the past. I will try them again. I was touched by the stories of people who took plants home to care for them when the monster closed the business. I'm glad that Annie is working with a group of employees to get the business back up and running. It's just that now, they are a promising shell of a once great business. I'm pulling for a better experience on my next visit. I'm confident that will happen.

I told Max he didn't need to interrupt his break, but he insisted he was happy to help. He wasn't convinced the first option would work, so he kept testing different ideas and talking through possibilities. When Feliciano came by, the two of them compared notes and agreed on the right connector. They were absolutely right. We installed it when I got home, and it works perfectly--no more leaks.

Founded in 1948 by visionary ceramicist Edith Heath, the brand is an icon of California modern design. The items here are undeniably expensive, but the timeless design and constantly updating of color palettes make each piece feel special. In 2003, the company was revitalized by husband-and-wife product design and business team, who thoughtfully reinvented the brand. Heath is a great example of how with a good steward, classic design can be successfully revived and made modern. I find Heath to be a good spot for finding special design focused gifts.

I stopped by today, with my mom, to buy my sister some gifts for her wedding. I loved the new colors I saw - they had some yellow bowls and bulb vases that I was seriously tempted to buy, in addition to the other items. What I didn't love was the lack of customer service. I don't expect or want to be waited on hand and foot, but a simple acknowledgement would have been nice, rather than having multiple employees just watching us the entire time. I ended up purchasing from the seconds section and buying less than anticipated due to the overall vibe. I try to be understanding, and perhaps something was off for them today. Regardless, I was so uncomfortable in the store that I waited outside while our items were gift wrapped.
