What recent reviews say

Jun's team and the landscape crew execute design builds with care, clean up thoroughly, and explain aftercare clearly. Jun herself leads projects with professionalism and flexibility. The retail side-flowers, workshops, gift items-draws consistent praise for variety and staff warmth. However, two reviews flag poor plant choices, partial mulch coverage (too thin for weed suppression), and incomplete weed screening after being called out; one customer experienced billing pressure before defects were resolved.

Workshop attendees consistently rave about floral arranging sessions and bouquet classes. The flower shop stocks healthy plants and seasonal arrangements at reasonable prices. Staff names appearing positively: Jun, Matt, Will, Erica Pinto, Megan. When the landscaping team executes to spec, results are strong; issues arise when scope corners are cut or communication falters under project stress.
