Expertise
Being a landscaping dummy, I was overwhelmed when I stopped in recently to get some ideas for my yard. One employee of Cox's Plant Farm noticed my deer-in-the-headlights look and took pity on me, asking me if I needed help.
I wound up explaining to her what my landscaping desires and issues are, and she took me out to the nursery and showed me several varieties of trees and shrubs that met all my criteria, plus she offered a multitude of suggestions on how to improve my soil situation, which would open the door to quite a few more varieties of plants.
Equipment
After that, I headed inside to their gigantic store that is packed with shovels, rakes, lawnmowers, weed eaters, chainsaws, blowers and parts for all kinds of gardening equipment.
