My one star is mainly for the work environment. Most of the females that work there are unfriendly and unwelcoming. I felt the most uncomfortable by one of the “lead” caregivers. Management is not friendly, compassionate, or helpful at all.

I just picked up my gorgeous poinsettia, and as always, Wilson Commons did not disappoint. This is my third year purchasing from them, and their attention to detail and care in delivery is unmatched. Their poinsettias are not only stunning but also long-lasting—truly a holiday favorite!
