The place is very nice. My son did his spring, summer and fall work. The fresh vegetables and fruits was the best. Also the stuff was awesome and simply amazing.

I have had a wonderful experience in my first dealing with Linda at City Natives and collected my peach tree yesterday. I also learned, most interestingly, that City Natives also conducts a plant exchange for perennials in the spring. I have a number of perennials that I intend to replace and hate the idea of throwing them out, so this is the perfect opportunity.
