CANNON'S GIFT & GARDEN CENTER

WHEN I ASKED WHERE POTS WERE, I WAS WAVED VAGUELY OFF IN A DIRECTION. I FINALLY FOUND THEM, BUT COULD NOT GET TO ALL OF THEM AS THEY WERE BLOCKED AND HEAVY. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND WENT OFF TO LOOK FOR ANNUALS. NO SIGNS. I FOUND THE KINDS I WAS LOOKING FOR, BUT ONLY IN ONE COLOR. HOWEVER, LATER I FOUND MORE VARIETY IN A DIFFERENT PLACE. THEN I ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY BORAGE. I WAS GIVEN THE RUDE 'HUH?', SO I EXPLAINED IT WAS A FLOWER THAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED A HERB. I WAS TOLD HERBS WERE IN THE FIRST GREENHOUSE. I STUMBLED AROUND A BIT MORE, SINCE WHAT THEY CALLED THE FIRST GREENHOUSE I WOULD HAVE CALLED THE THIRD, BUT I MANAGED TO FIND THE HERBS. NO BORAGE. THEN I ASKED IF I COULD ORDER BORAGE SEED, BUT WAS TOLD NO. SO I JUST BOUGHT MY FLATS, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME I FOUND THAT THE SOIL IN AT LEAST TWO OF THE FLATS WERE BONE DRY AND SOME PLANTS HAD WILTED. I HAD NOTICED EVEN AT THE GREENHOUSE THAT A LOT OF THE PLANTS LOOKED PEAKY, PROBABLY UNDER WATERING. BUT THEY DO HAVE A GOOD SELECTION!

THE STAFF AT CANNONS WAS VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE WHEN I WAS CHOOSING AN ARRANGEMENT OF FLOWERS. THE FLOWERS WERE DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND THE COST WAS REASONABLE.

THE FLORAL SHOP HAS AN EXCELLENT ASSORTMENT OF FLOWERS AND PRE-MADE BOUQUETS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO HAVE GARDENING NEEDS AND A SMALL SHOP CONTAINING ODDS AND ENDS. IT'S A RATHER LARGE BUSINESS AND IT IS FUN TO WALK AROUND AND SHOP THERE.
