Rooted in Success: How Our Customers Grow with Platt Hill Nursery
I think the best part for me is that our kids are spending time outside, engaging with nature and learning something a long the way. Additionally, the kids eat more natural things while getting a little dirty. This has been a great excuse to get the kids out of the house and off the screens.
I like the fact that the employees are always willing to help as much as possible. I go to other places and it feels like the employees are too busy to talk with me. Not my friends at Platt Hill Nursery, they go out of their way to make sure we have everything.
It has been some work, but with the right advice, I can figure anything out. Even after everything has been put in the ground, I have called several times for more advice and how to keep it alive.
