This is my go to stop for all my gardening supplies and questions. If you know Stan, you understand why. If not, go for a visit! I appreciate all the knowledge, info, support and kindness that is shown when I visit this store. They have most anything you need, and if not Stan will find out what is in the product and either find a solution in a similar product or find that product in one of their several other locations.
Also, their shop cat is the bomb!

Selection was extremely poor, but I'm guessing that's increased demand. The biggest drawback to this place is the mysterious and complete absence of prices, which makes shopping guesswork and expensive at the register. People working there were not exactly working hard to help customers and had very little information. Pretty disappointing considering the quality of the bar next door. I would skip it if you are really needing veggie starts, the selection is barebones.

I retract my critical comment. After seeing my rating, they contacted me again and refunded the full amount. Took a little work, but good follow up. Bad experience here. I asked an employee for a DI cartridge for my greenhouse water purification system. He gave me a cartridge, I paid and went home to install it. I finally figured out why it didn’t work, because he gave me a carbon filter, not a DI cartridge. The next day they refused to take the return and refused to refundme because it had been opened. After some negotiation, they gave me back their profit margin. $12 of the $40 returned
