We had the most amazing time here. We saw so many different plants and learned so much. The staff was so informative and friendly. We had the pleasure of learning a lot about Mr. Payne. My daughter is doing a report on him for school that's why we came. We bought a lot of great items in the store. We are coming back again soon.
