What’s one thing your customers don’t know you do behind the scenes?
We love to put up birdhouses and bat boxes all around the farm. Our customers might not be able to see it, but the nursery is home to many different species of birds, owls and bats.
What’s something you do that seems small but makes a huge difference?
Always coil up garden hoses after we use them. It’s a simple, small practice but it encourages everyone to make sure the garden center is tidy and free of tripping hazards.
If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing instead?
Selling hammocks in Costa Rica.
When did you open (month & year)?
August 2023
Describe your business in three words.
A true destination.
What’s something your business does differently than anyone else?

What’s one thing people often say when they first walk in?
I had no idea this was all here!
What is your most popular service?
Our landscape design division helps our customers select the perfect plants for any project around their property.
What is something you wish more people knew about you and/or your business?
We’re not just a garden center, but also a market, florist, gift shop and coffee bar.
