Green Thumb Intl

Green Thumb is my #1 plant source. They have huge selections of pony packs, including perennials and ground cover! They have extremely knowledgeable staff: people who actually know about gardening and specifically for the climate of the SCV.\r \r Inside there's always fun seasonal merchandise. I've been shopping here for years.\r \r 1/12/09 Update: Green Thumb is still my favorite. This past December I checked out their Christmas merchandise for the first time (who is really gardening in December?). I was amazed at their huge selection of UNIQUE items. They have a huge Dept. 56 section and tons of ornaments and decor that's different than what you see in other stores. Right before Christmas they offered a 50% discount on the seasonal merchandise and that was upped to 70% after Christmas. I bought beautiful gold star ornaments that looked like they were European and several small birds. I will definitely go back next Christmas for gifts. Pros: Plant selection, Knowledgeable staff more

I love Green Thumb. Unlike the national Home Improvement Centers, Green Thumb gives you personalized service. The staff is knowledgable about planting in the SCV and the selection of plants and trees is great. The plants are well-maintained and I've not had any problems with stuff dying. The cost isn't that much more than the Home Centers and it's worth paying a little more to get quality plants and materials. There's also delivery service available. Pros: Great Selection, Informative Staff, Relaxing Atmosphere Cons: Can't Buy Everything! more
