Let me start with this: don't let the husband's grumpy energy kill your vibe. If you can brush off…read morehis scowl, you're going to fall in love with this little woman owned neighborhood nursery.
My boyfriend (the green thumb) sparked my interest in gardening, so we went hunting for a local nursery spot and found this gem tucked inside a charming little house. At first glance, it's like stumbling upon a hidden speakeasy...a nice spot in a very unexpected and weird location, but it works.
The owner, a sweet curly-haired redhead, was all warmth and knowledge from the second we walked in. She's got it all here: propagated starter plants perfect for newbies, bigger statement pieces for indoor and outdoor gardening, succulents, pots, and even cute accessories that make you want to redecorate your patio. It's small, but it has heart.
Pricing is a bit of a mystery. Very few plants are labeled, so you just have to trust her when she throws out a price. Everything seemed pretty reasonable and affordable, though. I grabbed plant food, a pot of Cuban oregano, and another medium-sized plant all for $35. I liked the price but I couldn't tell you exactly what each item cost. Personally, I didn't mind, but a little transparency would go a long way.
Back to the husband: he's a bit dismissive and he scowls. He doesn't greet customers. But my two cents? Sir...If you don't want to deal with people, maybe hang out somewhere else during business hours. Customers come for the plants and the experience. Not to feel like they're crashing your day.
But the nursery itself is adorable, the plants are healthy, the prices are reasonable, and the owner is a delight. There are some ridiculously cute dogs on site (just don't let them sneak out the door when you come in).
All in all: a quirky, welcoming local business that deserves support. Just smile, buy your plants, and pretend the husband's scowl is part of a sitcom, part of the charm, I guess...
