What a horrible experience. I returned to visit Peterborough in May 2012 (I went to Trent years…read moreago) and decided to visit Peterborough Square for old times sake. I saw some gnomes at homeology and because my husband collects them I decided to take a closer look. The salesperson saw me coming and came out of the store towards me. I smiled and said hello and she retorted a greeting followed by "how can I help you?" I was surprised but told her I wanted to see the gnomes. She told me that the ones I saw were all they had. Note we were not in the store yet! So I moved forward and she snapped at me, "give me your bags". I was so angry I walked away much to her pleasure. I know from having lived there that Peterborough can be an awfully racist place but I must say I was saddened that after all these years nothing has changed. I just married a white man and he was so angry when I came home and told him he insists we go back this summer and he will have words with them. I find the whole thing humiliating and it has taken me a lot of time to gather my thoughts and post this review. Probably they don't even care, as it's a small store but I was prepared to spend upwards of $300 that day and that's their loss.

I am frustrated with Bennett's right now. I finally decided to buy a proper glass display cabinet…read morefor the collections my late husband and I collected over 47 years. The had a beautiful on on sale and I bought it. It had a sliding door front. After a week or so the door warped so bad that it would not open or close at all. The solution was to take a floor model which I was assured they would check over. It came but I think the guys putting it into the elevator damaged it as it has scratches and nicks on it. So they had no more, plus I wouldn't trust a sliding door again. I talked to the GM who assured me they would do everything they could to full fill my needs. He was going to deal with it but then turned it over to staff. Long story short weeks later the damaged one is still sitting here, my precious memories are packed in boxes, and everything they offer is much more expensive. I am really fed up as I have shopped here since moving to town 13 years ago. It is not the type of service I expected. I need to get my things back on display but I got rid of other cabinet to make room for my new one. Please don't buy a sliding front cabinet from them, and I'm not even sure I can say buy from them right now. they seem to have changed their policy about customer satisfaction Lynda Guest

Under a very tight timeline Charmaine and Kaitlyn at Pammett's were incredible in how they worked with us to create the "look" we wanted in our arrangements. It was how they handled themselves, wanting to make sure that we were happy and that gave us comfort in what was a very stressful time for us. The flowers were stunning. Charmaine and Kaitlyn at Pammett's truly went out of their way to make that happen. Tons of compliments on the flowers. I would highly recommend Pammett's flowers!

I think the cost is moderate, and OK for the quality - good value for the money. If you want cheaper, you know where to go, out on The Parkway... :-) Lots of plants and gift items for sale: cards, the ubiquitous orchids (good luck getting any orchid to survive, and if it does, more luck to get it to bloom again), green leafy things in large and small pots, including coffee plants.
