This review is long over-due... I must give a big thank you to Abbey and Patrick of Everything…read moreBotanical for flying to my Los Angeles home and transforming the cute backyard, perfect for entertaining, into a backyard oasis! Their vision turned the patio into a lounge; the al fresco dining section into a comfortable fire pit; and narrow driveway into an area that is easier to drive, turnaround, and park in. Their efforts enhanced the overall look and feel of my property, while enhancing the value. Friends commented it looked like a movie set and buyers were so taken by their work, the home sold in four days. My realtor received positive feedback on the backyard from everyone who viewed the property, and the buyer said one reason for their purchase was the backyard. I have used Everything Botanical for many years (both flower arrangements and garden design) and am looking forward to the next project they can work their magic on!

Originally when I engaged the services of everything botanical Abbey took a very hands-on position…read morein planting our window boxes and taking care of flowerbeds and rock garden on our estate. Unfortunately in the past two years she's assigned people who would not qualified. Two years ago I met with Abby and reviewed our plans in detail to be carried out. The only part that I was totally satisfied with what wonderful window boxes. But from there everything went down and in the past year and became a total disaster. Not only plans we discussed were not carried out, I had to call for routine maintenance and the people she sentwere totally incompetent (she acknowledged this). My flowerbeds became a jungle. When the person in charge came a second time after my complaint and I informed her that she has done a terrible job in the past Abby then informed me that the woman was hurt and insulted. She should never have been sent since she didn't know what was a weed. e. I finally terminated this arrangement. It is my belief since she was no longer taking as active a role and leaving the work to others this was the result. I would not recommend her and Everything Botanical. Abby and her husband are lovely people but fell down on the job.

As pictured in the catalogue, the mix consisted of mostly pink, yellow and coral, with an occasional lavender or very dark purple. What bloomed was approx. 40 percent black, 40 percent red and a smattering of white. It was the ugliest tulip mix that I have ever seen in my 45 year career. I reached out to them, explaining that I of course was refunding the retail cost of the labor and materials to my client, and asked what they would be doing to make things right with me. This was sent to customerservice@vanengelen.com. I never received a response. I will never buy any sort of bulb from them again. Reed D.

I appreciate this customer service and hope they switch to FedEx for future purchases sent to the West Coast. I will update with more photos when it blooms. Thank you, White Flower Farm. My Fantasy hydrangea arrived completely dehydrated and wilted due to an eight day UPS shipping experience from this company to the West Coast. The leaves were completely droopy and it was in very poor health. I have been nursing it back to health for a month now. All the canes are dead and new growth is finally emerging at the base after a lot of TLC. This company needs to switch to FedEx as their carrier and not use UPS, especially for longer transit. I never have this issue with Garden Crossings for my orders because they use FedEx 2-3 day. Everything arrives perfect from them.

"There was a shopping mall Now it's all covered with flowers…read moreNow, it's nothing but flowers" (The Talking Heads) We wanted to plant some flowers around our mailbox, and ended up at Coward Farms to see what we could come up with. It was my first visit, and I was amazed at the thousands of varieties of stunningly colorful annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, and more. Rows and Rows of beautiful flowers everywhere. We ended up buying four flats of pretty pink and purple perennials @ $2.95/flat. The Raspberry Parfait Dianthus will really beautify our mailbox. They also have a store with all sorts of home decor and furnishings. Note that Coward Farms is open during the year in three distinct time periods - Spring from May 1st - July 3rd, Fall from Sept. 1st - Oct. 31st and Christmas -starting the Friday after Thanksgiving.

My mom is my source of all things gardening, and she told me to go to Story's. I looked up the website (which is great) to see what they had in stock. Under "fruiting plants" in nursery stock, I found what was basically a comprehensive list of all the fruit I could think of...so we just decided to head over and take our chances. When we arrived and walked around a bit, I realized that they actually HAVE pretty much everything on that comprehensive list, because this place is massive and awesome. I don't think I can possibly list all the things they've got, but I feel pretty confident saying that their selection is better than anything you might find in the surrounding area: Trees, shrubs, evergreens, bushes, perennials, herbs, succulents, conifers, flowers, vegetables, vines...you want plants, they've got the plants. They've also got all the garden supplies you need...plant food, fertilizer, seeds, pesticides, tools, a gorgeous selection of pots, and hooks, and garden gnomes, and more. I didn't know I needed netting to keep the birds from eating my blueberries, but they did, and they've got the netting you need. I should note that my mom frowns on netting your berries, as she believes we need to share with the birds...but she's just a much better person than I am.

They offer a few classes, including an upcoming "using herbs in your libabions". Sign me up! This place sits on a lovely spot of land with a creek running through it. This itself is worth the visit.

In a separate greenhouse you will find the vegetable plants. The variety is good especially the tomatoes and peppers.

Plus, the store is closing tomorrow in 2/19/18, so get your shopping in now with their deep discount (it seems up to about 50%). A lot of things in the store are very pretty, but really overpriced. There are no hidden treasures here you're going to overpay for, and some of the items seem to have a few liberties taken with their description. One of my shopping companions, an admittedly self taught glass collector, point out one "hand blown" bowl that was quite clearly pressed, including the makers mark. I wish the shop luck with their new adventure into the online!
