I've never heard of this place before, does anyone have experience buying plants there? They seem to have a nice selection.

There are a number of people here that have gotten plants from Bob, but there have been many more occasions where he is just not answering the phone, filling out orders or even being located. If he is still in business, good luck, you should go into this with eyes open though, he has not been reliable.

And don't pay unless you have plants in hand.

Thanks. I read that indeed he does not seem to have good customer service although his plants themselves seem to be okay. He lives near me so I'm going to try to go pick some up there.

Good luck with that, could you let us know how it goes, as it would be good for all of us to know if he is still out there. :)

I once went to his house to pick some plants after setting up a meeting and I knocked and knocked until i finally gave up. The guy was well  known in the area, but it's not easy to reach him, so good luck.
