My favorite go to garden center. I have said a hundred times, “I’m gonna run to Ellis and see what they have”. I usually get out without my wallet cause I was only LOOKING. Yeah right!! I always end up with 2 arms full, looking for the nearest buggy, loading it up and going back to my car for my wallet. The workers laugh at me, or with me and they all know me cause I go a lot. I love that place and it’s close to home. They have great prices on seasonal plants and the after Christmas sale is phenomenal. See ya there!!
