Just got my card and was referred to The Giving Tree by a friend who goes to the N. Phx location. I like the fact that it's out of the way, tucked into a business park, but not hard to find. The center was very clean and nicely decorated. I guess I was expecting a smoke shop atmosphere, so was pleasantly surprised. The staff was great. They are true professionals, friendly and they really understand their products. I went in there not having a clue, they spent time finding out my symptoms and making helpful recommendations. They gifted me with a nice indica blend preroll for being a nube. I recommend paying 5$ for their "frequent flyer card" or whatever they call it :) It gives you points towards discounts and even has a handy little grater built right into the card. Totally pleased with this place. The only time I felt uncomfortable was walking out to my car alone with my bag of goodies. Don't know if they have cameras out there, but it would be nice to know someone was watching the parking lot. All in all, I give them two green thumbs up!!
