Hello Lance. Thank you for the kind review. Please call us when you can. We have someone interested in re-homing a Cichlid. Thought you might be interested.
Positive experience: We had fun with our project. I think it was a little over priced, but I am from a big city.
Hello Karrissa, we're glad you had a fun time at our workshop. We're sorry you felt like the project was under value. We try hard to stay competitive and yet offer the student the freedom to create the project as they choose. We hope you will join us again sometime. We would welcome a contact from you with regard to how we could improve your experience next time.
Fantastic experience: I love everything about this nursery! If you have not been in you need to check this one out! Lots to choose from! Everyone is very friendly and helpful! I give them 5 stars because I truly can’t think of one thing I was not happy with. We have a newly built house on three acres and the yard has been very overwhelming. I am not good with plants so I brought pictures and drawings in and Andy helped plan out the landscape, even down to where to plan everything. I am very pleased and happy with how it all has turned out so far! I am looking forward to spring so we can get started on our next project!
Thank you Jaceleigh! We appreciate it very much

Thank you for the kind words Julie. We would love to visit with you more so we can learn what we can do to be worthy of a 5th Star.
Fantastic experience: This place is wonderful, so much more than I hoped I would find in Williston. Also it's much larger than it looks from the road Sadly the look from the road is a bit worn down and not very attractive, but as soon as you walk in it all changes, the plants looked healthy and the decorations and how it's all put together it's a wonderful place to be. I talked briefly with a very nice lady, possibly the owner, she was gracious and helpful. If your looking for plants, decorating ideas or just want to go shopping this is an excellent place to go.
Thank you for the wonderful review, Gary!
