It is filled with all the planty goodness, of course, but it is also full of fun decor, plant-related goods and more. The plant assortment is wonderful, with an awesome selection of young and mature plants, as well as some rare varieties too. Prices are competitive and affordable. The staff here are what sets Jungle House apart from other plant shops. They're welcoming, friendly, and fun. We happened to come in on my son's 5th birthday (he wanted to pick out a birthday plant). The staff showed him all the coolest plants and pointed out which ones smelled the stinkiest - he LOVED it. They made it a fun experience for us, and when he finally settled on a prayer plant, they taught him how to care for it. Highly recommend for plant enthusiasts and families alike!

The advertisements featured the owners and the local feel. It showed the inventory of the store and how it was all laid out. I was intrigued and had to stop by on my next opportunity. Mothers Day provided me the perfect chance to visit this quaint establishment. They were very busy but they still gave me personal service and helped me with my purchases. I was able to pick out the perfect gift for a dear friend of mine. Don't be fooled by the outside of this store. It is HUGE! There are several greenhouses stocked to the brim with all sorts of different plants. They have invested quite a great deal of time and effort into inventory. Rows upon rows of beautiful plants and flowers. In addition to the greenhouses, there is a sprawling area in back of the store stocked with more flowers and plants. The inventory is not limited to the outside area and the greenhouses, either. The inside store is filled with beautiful plants. They have a large variety of succulents and other varieties of plants. In addition to plants, they have pots, plant coasters, fertilizers, watering devices, seeds, gardening tools and so much more. There is so much it is a bit overwhelming, in fact. The prices are a wee bit higher than you would pay at a Big Box store. However, it is worth a few extra dollars for personalized service and greater selection. Have you ever tried to get help at a Big Box garden store? It's non-existent and the selection of products is poor. The staff was great. They were chatty without being annoying and super helpful. I had no clue what I wanted to buy but they directed me to the perfect item. I never had to wander around the premises looking for help. They were front row and center there helping people. This store also has a playground to keep the kids entertained while the parents shop. Great idea! They provide carts for your big purchases because its so much easier to carry with the carts. This store is easily accessible and they have plenty of parking. There were no problems finding space even though they were super crowded. I have been back several times since my Mothers Day stop and I have received the same service quality each time. One of the most unique features of this store is there are flowers planted on the roof. Yep, the roof is lined with flowering pots welcoming the customers. Great shop.

They wanted me to waste more of my time when they could easily honor that lower price. Of course I complained and another 10 min went by, he finally said he would honor the lower price. When I was checking out he scanned the soil and to his surprise the soil was 29.99. He wasted my time arguing over a price that was the their price. I bought over 150 in soil, no-one offered to help load or even opec the door when I left. F this guy will not be going back. I'll buy from Amazon next time. Earl may is extremely over priced.

Obviously, the array of items available is staggering. They almost always have exactly what I came in for. The store is easy to navigate, it's just huge so sometimes it takes awhile to get around it. They are also great about doing returns without a receipt. My husband looses every receipt he's ever touched so this is a regular issue with us.

If so, there is a fair chance that you will find it at Cottins. I much prefer supporting small, local businesses rather than the large impersonal chain stores. Much closer to our home in Old East Lawrence than Home Depot and Menards, although much smaller, Cottins has a good selection of hardware items at reasonable prices. The thing I like best about Cottins is the friendly, personal attention you receive almost as soon as you walk in the door. If you have ever been to Home Depot, Lowes, and Menards, you know that trying to find an employee to answer a question or help you find something is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The employees at Cottins are not only friendly and helpful, they are very knowledgeable in a variety of DIY topics. A small space by hardware standards, they have an amazing selection of choices in almost every category. Every time I go there, I am greeted warmly and escorted directly to the specific item I need. Employees have spent 15 minutes with me helping me to find less than a dollar's worth of screws, now that's customer service! Customer service is such a rare comodity these days in the retail sector, but Cottins is the rare exception. Well done! CombatCritic Gives Cottins Hardware and Rental 9 Bombs Out Of 10 ...

Not only did this not happen, I actually enjoyed my time in there the several times I've gone in. I kid you not! Now, I fully admit that I usually would only go into Cottin's because the K would be super enthusiastic about shopping in there and I can't say I share the same enthusiasm, but oh, OK, they have a lot of awesome garden stuff and hello, are those pink flamingoes?!?! There's a lot to love about Cottin's. They rent cotton candy (COTTIN Candy?!) and icee machines. They sell all kinds of tape. They sell a lot of different colored and sized novelty light bulbs. They sell old school Radio Flyer wagons. It feels like it could be 1950 in there, but with a 2010 sensibility. The staff, all young and friendly, rule the school. As Lydia A mentions below, they are part of what makes Cottin's such an enjoyable place to be. A "place to be"?! Yes! It's an experience! Even getting keys made is kinda fun (OK, well, that's an exaggeration. It is quick and painless, however!) OTOH, you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming into one of my most hated stores ever...HOME DEPOT. Blargh!
