Great garden shop, where you can find lots of garden tools, plantars, wind chimes, patio furniture and so much more. One of my favorite stops in Ann Arbor. Parking is right on the premise. This place doesn't disappoint, I promise you won't walk out empty handed!

We love getting our plants here - everything has been healthy, no issues with quality. Great selection of accessories for patios or yards too; love the bird houses, seed mixtures, and there is a full assortment of pots/stands. Inside they have hiking/camping items for pets and humans. Love this store all around.

A very small selection of plants. Some beautiful mature specimens. On the expensive side. They have a shop cat.

My friend and I visited the store this week. They have a nice selection of various items but the staff at the cashier counter are not friendly. The woman who rang up my items did not even make eye contact with me, pushed my items toward me on the counter and I guess when I paused because of my shock, she said "oh did you want a bag?" There was a gentleman who approached us to ask if we needed help and he was very friendly.
I think the two women behind the counter were to in to what they were talking about on the computer and I was an imposition. The older of the two then went over to the kitchen shop and began monopolizing the time of the woman who was trying to work in that area. So we decided to move on to Kerrytown.
