I was going to purchase several hibiscus from them even though they sold me a defective item until I hear them openly bad mouthing me for wanting to return a $60 solar lamp that didn't even work. Definitely will not be supporting this business any longer, and it's a shame because I enjoyed shopping there, but it's okay I won't shop somewhere for inconveniencing someone to do their job.

Ten, ten, ten across the board!!!!!!!…read more So I was passing through Slidell and asked a friend if he knew a good coffee spot that wasn't [insert coffee shop, you know the one]. And in that moment I was reminded why I rarely ask for recommendations because my taste runs a little too refined for most. Nevertheless I turned to Maps and typed in "coffee," and the first option was an immediate no. But the second one, the name alone, told me everything I needed to know. The only problem, it was the opposite direction I was headed and I was already running late. But I couldn't ignore that instinct. I had to see for myself. "Sorry boss, can't come in today. I was on my way to work and then a gentle fall breeze blew me in the direction of my destiny and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world!" Anywho, I'm so happy I stopped. The moment I walked in it felt like home, not in the corny sitcom way, but in that deeper unexpected kind of way. Like walking into a crowded room full of strangers and then seeing your homegirl that instantly makes you feel like yourself again and suddenly the day is yours. Mind you I hadn't even ordered at this point, but that's how good just walking inside made me feel. i felt like a mom that has been saying "you not getting that" all year then christmas day be grinning when baby open that present they been wanting!! Then there's the coffee, I'm still sipping my Beehive Latte now and it's fabulous. And I don't say fabulous often. I was going to go with a vanilla latte but since I sort of felt like I was in Adam and Eve's garden I wanted to try something new. The owner recommended the Crème Brûlée Latte but his wife overheard me going back and forth in my head (out loud) and suggested the Beehive since I like my coffee sweet but not overwhelming. This latte is perfect, pure perfection. I grabbed a chocolate croissant too because they looked delicious and they absolutely delivered. Flaky, golden and brown and no I'm not describing myself. The pastries all looked heavenly. Everything was perfect. Sure, I'm having an exceptionally good day already, maybe because of the weather, maybe because it's Friday, or maybe because I'm an attractive single 6'3 male and ready for eligible suitors. Either way, the service, their smiles, the coffee, the plants, everything was otherworldly. I'd go out of my way to come back. Wanna come with?

To me, this is the BEST nursery in Slidell hands down, and I'll tell you why…read more It's not because they have the biggest and most diverse selection of plants. They often don't, really. But that's because their space is limited, I think. They do often have a very good selection of different species, though, that's for sure. The reason they're the best is because of the amount of care and attention they put into those plants. The reason they're the best is because the lady and her daughter that work there will go out of their way to answer any question you might have about anything they sell and they are very well educated on the plants they sell. In fact, they won't just answer your questions, they'll educate you on those plants as well. And they'll do it very nicely and you will feel as though actually learned something while you were there. They LOVE gardening and caring for plants and it shows. The nursery is located on a residential lot and the whole place just seems like a homeowner's dream garden. I imagine that's exactly what they were aiming for. ;) There is a mighty oak at the entrance and I really wish they sold the kind of tree people faces that she has on it, but she told me it was quite old and can't get them anymore. I haven't needed anything for my garden in a couple years because many of my plants just keep coming back, but when I do require something I will always stop here FIRST. If they don't have it, they will tell you when/if they expect to get what you need and you can come back and be assured that you will be getting the best specimens and that they were handled with care before you bought them. When you walk in, you'll find one of these nice ladies either working with a customer or caring for the plants. Never just sitting around twiddling their thumbs. Always helping out or doing something around the nursery. They will help you with whatever you need. Specific questions, general care of any plant, even if they don't sell it, and they're even nice enough to give advice to you on gardening care at home or about trees or plants that you already have. What I'm trying to say here is, their customer service is top notch and goes above and beyond what you'd expect from a business because caring for plants isn't just their business, it's obviously a hobby and a labor of love for them and that is why you need to start HERE when you need something for your garden.

I called & facebook messaged every nursery in town and up to an hour and a half away to try and find these special plants! The only nursery that replied back with a "We do have a hindu rope plant" was Wild Thymes! And to my surprise they were a mere 30 minutes from my house! I'd heard of Wild Thymes before, at a Covington Farmer's Market years ago my best friend and I had purchased air plants from them. Boy am I lucky that they invited me onto their property to buy some BEAUTIFUL and RARE plants! Not only is the property & greenhouse LUSH and WONDERFULLY GREEN, the owners are incredible and were SO MUCH FUN to talk with! I enjoyed every second of my time in their secret garden! They have an enormous collection of cactus, sanseveria, and quite a few begonias. There are plenty of different sizes to choose from, and they're all special plants, taken care of by people who truly love them. I'm actually sentimental about this place and I plan to go back a bunch!

(I kid you not) He then told him to just go on in the bushes. I am glad that I did not have to go. The farms we usually go to were closed due to the drought this year.

Well, not really a bowl. It's a big open bin and it's always filled with adorable puppies. My kids always ask if we can go see the puppies in the bowl, so that's what I call it too now. That's just too stinking cute not to say. The employees don't mind if you come in and pet and play with the puppies. In fact, they encourage it as long as some kid isn't picking the puppies up by their tail. It's fun for the kids and the puppies. In the spring Double M also has plants and trees for sale and their prices are reasonable for those. The puppies, on the other hand...I once asked about one of the that we were particularly fond of. $850. Yikes! Anyway, you should come play with the puppies in the bowl!
