This was a home 15 minutes from their shop, in Manor 78653--which they very clearly list as being within their delivery area on their website--https://www.aflowerconnection.net/flower-delivery.php I replied to the owner, Carla Glass--letting her know that either her website was wrong or they cancelled my order for no reason. I never received a reply. I took my business elsewhere. Either their website is misleading (and not in an insignificant way), or they periodically will just cancel orders arbitrarily--for no actual reason. ^ both of these things are red flags when it comes to a business I give my money to. It's also worth pointing out that the new owners took over in 2018... So I wouldn't trust any of the reviews before then. And both of the 5 star reviews for this place are from 2017--prior to their ownership

She said she would tell her my daughter wanted one too. I called and she told me $35.00. I told her I thought it was $25. She said no $35. So like a dummy I paid it because my daughter wanted it. What a waste of $35. My daughter had it on literally 10 min and a flower fell off. By the time she got home she had one rose left out of 6? Really? Besides this her hours are horrible who closes at 4pm and is closed on a Saturday good luck with that.

There are a few things that Austin seems to struggle with: pizza for one and Christmas trees…read more I understand that I cannot expect the same quality of tree as from other parts of the country with a more suitable climate. Still... I chose Evergreen because it is a family run business whose patriarch worked for the Department of Forestry. Who would know evergreens better? The atmosphere and experience were similar to most tree farms I've visited. You hop on a wagon or walk to the field of trees. It was a beautiful day so I made the short walk. When I got to the field, however, I wasn't sure what to do next. A wagon full of people had arrived minutes before me and apparently the staff was already helping them, hence there was no one to guide me. After a few minutes, though, I approached someone who looked as if he worked there. He told me that all the saws had been claimed so I just needed to wait a few minutes until one was returned. As I walked through the field I was disappointed to find that very few trees were proportional and pretty enough to be a Christmas tree. After about an hour I just picked one, even though only one side of it was suitable, figuring I would put the bad side against a wall. I didn't feel like waiting for the wagon to return so I dragged the tree back to the main area to purchase. Once I got there though, again, there was no one to instruct me. I finally figured out on my own (and after asking other customers) that I had to drop my tree at the shaker-thing, go inside the building to pay, then retrieve my tree elsewhere. The line inside snaked through the building. Only one cashier, so it took forever. When I got back outside I figured out where to retrieve my tree. The man who helped me (the aforementioned patriarch, I believe) was the only one doling out trees and he didn't seem very happy about it. After twenty futile minutes of trying to do it alone, I finally asked the patriarch if someone could help me get the tree on the roof of my car. A young kid obliged but didn't offer to help tie it, so I did it myself, driving home no faster than 40 mph and still stopping every 5 miles to readjust the tree to keep it from falling off the roof. Up until this point, few issues were the fault of the tree farm. (These places are DIY and rather intuitive, so direction need only be minimal.) But when I got the tree home and cut off the ties, I was shocked to see needles fall all over the floor. We pulled out clumps of needles and dead branches for days. The shaker-thing clearly had not done its job. The tree was more disproportionate and had more spots than I had noticed at the farm. Overall I think we did a decent job hiding them. But next year, we may have to drive to North Carolina for our tree. :)
