Hermosas plantas.

Good P.

We have been shopping here for about 5 years and always enjoy smelling the flowers! I have to take a moment to hopefully give everyone reading this a little time to reflect on life and what we have in our communities available to us. Small businesses like this are fighting an uphill battle against the big box hardware stores and grocery stores who are trying to do what Hoffman's does on a much smaller scale, with cheaper prices and in the end inferior products. Owning a small business in our current economic climate is an amazing feat. They are providing jobs and an atmosphere with a casual vibe, yet professional set-up and customer service.

Referring to other reviews, there may be days where things might not be going their way, and they are dealing with small business woes or other daily operation issues. Stay positive, take a step back, and remember what they are trying to do when everything in the economy is pushing against them as a business to keep going year after year. Cut our community friends some slack, smell some flowers, or even try another day if you are having one of those days.

We have purchased all kinds of plants, hanging baskets, vegetables, and supplies from them and realize it MIGHT be priced a little more in some cases. Remember, though, you are buying better quality plants being taken care of by people who love what they do and not some slacker employees who really do not care about the plants at all. That shows in many places, but not here.

As an FYI, they recently added a larger parking area to accommodate the traffic during holidays and the busy season. They have a cart return near the lot, so please, like other places, help them out by returning your cart. When we pulled into the new lot, we saw a cart and took that with us as we walked back to the flowers.

This is being written right before Mother's Day, and they have their buy-one-get-one-free baskets, which we take advantage of every year as gifts.

You will see by the photos and video that everything is easily labeled and the racks and tables are loaded!

Remember, this is a flower and vegetable plant nursery, and they do not have as many tree or shrubs as other nurseries, which do mainly trees and shrubs. Just go one day and smell the flowers and listen to the birds. It is great for the soul and will brighten your day! The colors are so beautiful and you can learn about and see a lot of plants that maybe you have never heard of.

Great nursery! I saw a lot of different plants i haven't seen anywhere else! Great prices! Some of the veggies even had things blooming already! I came here 5 years ago and all the veggie plants I planted did Great! In the past years I've always purchased plants from the hardware store in fear that the nurseries were a lot of money. I was so wrong! My only problem is that I spend too much at nurseries because I can't decide!
Absolutely love the plants I got! Great condition. Will definitely be back!
