Why You Might Consider Alternatives
While Garden Scents offers a lot, keep these points in mind:
- Seasonal Availability: The reviews mention looking forward to the "season to reopen," indicating that the operating season might be limited.
- Location Considerations: While it's convenient for some, its location "in the middle of nowhere" might require a dedicated trip depending on where you are located.
