I finally got to stop in and I was thoroughly impressed! They have great plant selection as well as bee handling, home goods and decor, house plants … I met a fellow customer and had an awesome conversation about mason bees! I also found some trees I have been having a hard time finding in the surrounding area!

Good selection of high quality gardening supplies and plants for both indoor and outdoor garden and growing. Excellent service from the staff. Need beekeeping supplies or pond supplies? Native plants, seeds or bulbs? They have those as well. My favorite garden store in the midvalley.

In 2020, my husband and I eloped quietly due to pandemic constraints. Shonnard's put together a bouquet, flower crown, and boutonniere for us. We were so impressed with the quality and professionalism from Shonnard's that we decided to use them again for our belated wedding reception with family and friends in June 2025. They went above and beyond to make our experience magical. The flowers were gorgeous and matched our theme perfectly. The florist, Ashlea, was fantastic to work with! The kindness and care that she puts into her work is palpable. She is a great communicator and very quick to respond. When she learned of our mother's passing, just one week before the wedding, she showed us so much compassion and took care of us well. Would HIGHLY recommend Shonnard's for any event flowers!

Seriously, every plant I've gotten from here is thriving. Just LOOK at this stunning Marble Queen I picked up today! Queen Elizabeth has found her home. There's this huge philodendron something I'm thinking of going back for next weekend. If you're a planty person, don't miss this incredible place!
