After asking for driving directions on the phone from the (seeming) manager, asking for assistance re-potting a plant from the employee on the floor, listening as the employee dropped my plant and called for help, watching as the other floor employee sauntered unwillingly towards my destroyed plant, and checking out with the cashier- here's what I have to say about the lot of them:
At best, impatient with my lack of gardening knowledge, ill-informed questions, and need for assistance. At worst, pretentious and intolerant.
As a novice, I won't be back here for advice, assistance, plants, pots, or anything else.

I got all my supplies for my garden here this year, and I had some of the best crops. I recommend getting their herbs - they grow like crazy! And maybe a gargoyle or two.
4Mahoney's is great! Its nice to have a garden center like this in the city and not have to drive out to the suburbs. They have a great selection.
4I usually avoid Western Ave at all costs but my husband asked me to go to Mahoney's this afternoon and what a pleasant surprise! They had a HUGE assortment of flowers and plants and a wonderfully knowledgeable staff to help steer us towards things we wouldn't be so likely to kill. They also have a huge selection of Buddha statues :-)
