- Potentially Higher Prices on Some Items: Some shoppers have noted that while the prices are generally good, hanging baskets and some other items can be more costly compared to other greenhouses.
- Smaller Size: The location is smaller than other greenhouses like Kuhlmann's, which might mean a more limited selection, although the hanging baskets are exceptionally beautiful.
- High Demand: The popularity of Brenneis means popular items sell out quickly, particularly early in May. Make sure to visit early in the season for the best selection.
