This place is so special. The best part, small local business with unique plants and a gift store! A separate area for garden sculpture!! The big box stores don't have specialists who know their stuff about our area/zone and how to have real success in you garden. Akins does. Like I said, this place is special, and I go there anytime I want success in my garden. 5 stars, real, local stars.

Ordered a plant for a birthday gift to be delivered as I am out of town. Paid 80.00 dollars for it. Was delivered in a cheap container with a small leafy plant and a few small flowers. It was not even attractive. When I called them about it, I was basically hung up on. Very rude customer service. Will not go back as this is not the first time I have had a bad experience. Way overpriced.

Omg such a cool plant nursery!!!! So much selection you don’t normally see at Walmart/lowes. Staff was very friendly and took great care of all the plants! I can’t wait to come back. Prices were a little more than I’m used to.
