As an avid Gardener and honest reviewer of EVERYTHING, I will start off by saying that NO ONE pays or gives me anything for my reviews..
So,
I changed upon Malaria Gardens one day as I was traversing my bike uphill on Oberon Rd. I immediately stopped because one, "Don't threaten me with a garden center" and two, I was winded!
The first thing that caught my eye was the little white house on the corner. How quaint I thought. I was greeted and welcomed immediately by two super friendly young ladies. As a guy who knows his flowers(thanks Grandma!), I was immediately blown away by the selection.! But what really caught my eye were the Daturas(Devil's Trumpet)! Having been a life long fan, collector, and grower of these exotic looking blooms, I said "thank you" aloud. Finally a true Mom and Pop shop that not only knows their plants but, steps away from the gratuitous choices often found in those "Blue or Orange" ubiquitous mass retailers...
I love Malaria Gardens so much that I seriously want to work for this loving, family owned business!!
