I’ve been shopping here since a friend introduced me a few years ago. Not only is their selection top notch, but the customer service is always 100%. I know they must be working on extra hard on curbside orders currently. Thank you!! Placed an order online and the turn around time was quick. Will be nice to have a bit of green thumb therapy right about now.

Great Outdoors surprised and elated our gardeners at SDF Community Garden in East Austin by donating AND delivering a bag of Happy Frog soil amendment for each garden plot! we are SO grateful as we know this is high quality stuff. Thanks so much, and I recommend Happy Frog for veggie gardeners throughout Austin!
