We have been wanting to go into this store for quite some time and have stopped by several times but it's always closed . Stopped there today excitedly since it was open and we are doing a large landscape and plant renovation at our house . We were immediately greeted by a woman who asked if we were just hanging out in front of the store ( nope looking at your garden ) . Then she told us we couldn't bring our dog in ( he's a service dog AND has a service dog ID on as well as paperwork with him ) . We told her but her reply is we could take him home and then come back. My reply ? You can imagine what was in my head but I told her I didn't need to come back , there's plenty of places to shop in Austin and this is one to avoid . Oh yeah not to mention disallowing a service dog is illegal and will be making a complaint also .

See response of this business for a self serving explanation of the event . Been there several times during posted business hours to closed doors . When we said he was a service dog your response was we could return without him . Maybe you didn't understand but your course of action was to deny us entry . We know the law very well as I've retired from law enforcement . Not a single ill word was directed, or screamed at you or your business , no physical action was taken toward you or your property , I simply said we did not need to return to conduct business with you and no doors were slammed or tires squealed . My review of this experience at your business stands as true and disappointing. No need to ban me as I have no intent of coming back . As displayed by your response you take the wall building approach instead of the bridge building when confronted with an issue .
