Also, the owner was probably the nicest man I have ever met, he made sure I got what I needed and gave me some supplies for free to encourage creativity. Such a genuine guy!

I went one day a few weeks ago and I knew I needed to come back to make a terrarium. I made an…read moreappointment for a Saturday afternoon and it was such a great experience. We got the $25 special and it comes with 2 plants, a vase, dirt and rocks and $5 worth of little items to decorate your terrarium. I went a little overboard and wanted to get some extra items to decorate so I paid a little extra but it was so worth it. The ladies working were so nice and helpful , they walked us through the process effortlessly. I loved to see my terrarium come to life and my mom also enjoyed how hers turned out. I will be coming back since I love the little Knick knacks and small items they have seasonally for example I one time bought a succulent giraffe type pot and haven't seen it again so I'm glad I got it when I first saw it.

Gator Hydroponics is one of the many, many great things about living in Gainesville; in this small…read moretown we have a very well stocked hydroponic and exotic organic grow supplier. How cool is that? I cannot imagine another town smaller than Atlanta having such a wonderful resource. The resource is not just the variety of liquid seaweeds, and Mycorrhisals, and exotic sprayers available, it is the ready easy knowledge of the kids that work there. I have access to faculty in the Horticulture Department at UF, but they have better things to do than spend all day answering my questions, and they go into theoretical complexities that I do not need. The kids working this lovely hydroponic supply outlet do not have better things to do than spend all day answering my questions. And they are so well educated, knowledgeable, and experienced that they should be teaching and giving seminars. Yes, they are a little expensive relative to online, or even the big box stores like Lowes, but if you want this type of resource to continue in towns this size you will not just by your nutrient solutions there, you will buy your coco coir there as well. Come on people; don't go to Lowes just to save a few bucks on the common stuff, by helping this great business thrive you will help your plants thrive, and when your plants thrive, you thrive. Forgive me for adding this, but when you thrive we all thrive. LETS THRIVE!!!

Not too far from home, we made the drive out here and it has everything we need. The employee working, Mikey, was extremely helpful and gave us all the information we needed.

We're extremely happy that we found this store and will continue to come back here to complete all of our other projects!
