Report
I stopped in looking for zinnias and sod. Only one color of zinnias and the young man who helped me find them warned me the rolls of sod were soaking wet, weighed 80 pounds and would destroy my car because the water would seep out of them, seek the lowest point & destroy electronics in my vehicle. Needless to say, I bought nothing. Now I need to go looking for everything someplace else. Way to go to retain customers! (not)
