What's a fact about your business that most customers probably don't know?: "We wanted our customers to have a great experience, so we decided to think outside the box.  Our dear friend Martin will be here every other Saturday to BBQ.  The interest in our furniture was overwhelming so we have vintage furniture and collectables for sale by another dear friend Jo.  We carry a wide range of floral displays for your front door and unusual gifts from our dear friend John with JMG Design.  And last but not least, the place wouldn't be special without our furry friends...pet bunnies (Tucker and Woody)."

What do you want your business to be best known for?: "We are particularly proud of our eclectic style.  We offer a large variety of unusual plant material that isn't easy to find elsewhere.  The gift shop is full of decorating ideas and wonderful gifts for the gardener."

What's your most popular product or service?: "The large selection of unusual annuals and colorful pottery seem to be the most popular products. Our custom design and potting service is a hit with our customers that need a little help."
