My hubby and I bought a grow light that is far superior to the little ones they sell online for only $25. Cost a lot, but well worth it, I promise. The reason I don't give this store 5 stars is because it is so small! Not a whole lot of supplies and besides, common garden supplies like mulch cost a fortune here. But all in all, this is a great local business that has knowledgeable experts to help you select what to buy and explain how to do it right.

I'm a nervous introvert, and not super confident when it comes to planting and growing and what not. These guys are so helpful and comfortable to talk to, and I left feeling much more confident in my gardening endeavors. Absolutely would recommend
