Never had been to this Garden center before, drove by and decided to stop in. Bought a beautiful hanging purple lavender peony basket for mother in law for Mothers day. Going to take it out of the car when arriving at home later there were deer ticks crawling on it! Immediately my husband and I went and checked and I had a deer tick in my leg and husband had one crawling on his sweater! There was absolutely no ticks in the backseat of my car prior to buying the plant! My husband and I had not been in any environment where deer ticks would have been and they were crawling on the plant!
I called the Garden Center and they did not seem to care about the problem they said ""well we are surrounded by woods but we do not buy plants with ticks on them, you can return the plant if you are uncomfortable keeping it"". Honestly would you put a tick infested plant back into your car, that your children ride in? I tossed it the minute I found the ticks on it.
Definitely recommend not buying any plants from this Garden Center
