Caldwell Nursery

I have driven down from north Katy several times, not a short distance, but this was the last. Almost every time at Caldwell's I have felt VERY unwelcome, Cay Dee seems quite put out to answer questions. If she does stop to show you something, she walks 10 feet ahead, heaven forbid you take up her time. The last straw today was over a palm, which was my reason for driving all the way down there to begin with. I found a plant I liked and was told by the man there (him, Cay Dee referred to), 1)he wasn't sure what it was 2) it was a texas sabal 3) it wasn't for sale 4) it was a 'special' variety. I guess it's the midwesterner in me, but, not only should a customer be treated like they are valued, they should also be accomodated. He obviously didn't have any idea what he was talking about, nor would that single one gallon palm have been any great loss to Caldwell's had he sold it to me. Finally, when I walked back up front where he and Cay Dee were talking, I overheard her say "just mark it a real high price". Very nice, I'm going back to Cornelius.

This is the finest nursery around rating at least a ten star. If you are looking for rarer plants at great prices, you will be able to find them here. This is a MUST nursery to go to on your list. My VERY favorite.

I would rate this nursery a 10 star, but since the max is five, then 5 will have to do. My favorite nursery in Houston.
