Not sure what has happened here over the last 2 years but the quality has really gone down. Purchased over $100 worth of petunias and got home to plant them, took them out of the plastic and the dirt was dust. Immediately planted and watered and here 3 weeks later there still look dead.

A garden center as it should be. Organized, all the plants well tagged with planting information and the greenhouse well laid out and constantly being restocked. They even provide a convenient cardboard tray to carry the plants home. Well done and will return next year!

Purchased over $100 worth of petunias and got home to plant them, took them out of the plastic and the dirt was dust. Immediately planted and watered and here 3 weeks later there still look dead. We plant in Miracle Grow Moisture Control. All the flowers we have bought from them for two years have had this issue. We won't be returning.
Response from the owner · 3 months ago
I’m sorry to hear this. We are using the same soil and growing practices we have always used. We pride ourselves in having the highest quality plants. Please bring in your plants and let us try to figure out what went wrong and come up with a solution or replacements for you so you can be successful again. Call or come in and ask for Aaron.
