I have two very different reviews to leave for this store. The first one is about the garden center…read moreand a woman named Patti. The first time I went to the garden center we had not moved to town yet, we just wanted to see how different the garden was from our home state of AZ. I met Patti that very first time, she was so helpful and friendly that months later after finally buying our property and moving across the country I still remembered her. I've gone back a couple of times now and each time I have interacted with her she is helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. She helped us pick out nine trees for the new spot. All I can say is Patti is awesome, she works hard for her money and she deserves to be recognized. She makes me want to shop there.

We called Sunday and they said that they would deliver materials today the 17th between 1-5 and it's 530 and they still haven't showed up. Our fence is suppose to be installed tomorrow the 18th. This is NOT okay. They haven't not communicated with us about running behind or even apologizing for not showing up last week. My husband is taking time off of work tomorrow for delivery, the city of Oakboro is suppose to come out tomorrow as well and we've had things planned from the beginning, but your employees or whomever is running things isn't doing their job. This is unacceptable. We will be contacting corporate about this matter.
