Greenstreet Gardens ... great variety of plants; provide excellent service; conveniently located; good value

Greenstreet Gardens because of tomato mania and the quality of their plants. My hanging baskets from them are so nice that my neighbor stopped by to ask me where I got them.

Right George! Naturally it is the Exotic Planterium and Comic Collectorama. Just hope you aren't the one in there when the building finally falls over! This is one of the very last original stores left in Del Ray. Once Shepard's Bait and Tackle was gone, so was the funkiness that drew me here in the first place.

How's that place even still open? It can't possibly be safe structurally. It is the leaning townhouse of Del Ray! I don't even like to walk by it....

As I always say,"When the Collectorama goes,I go." It will be a sign that there is no longer a place for me in Del Ray.We buy all our carnivorous plants there.
