Hey.
I think that some kind of background would make it look better. Since it looks a bit empty.

Looks very clean and simple but it is lacking something.
First I would suggest using a garden sculpture image instead of the tree in the header. The tree although likely found in a garden seems out of place for the site.
The mouseover is nice but there is too much space between the bottom button and the mouseover images. If it were just a bit higher the whole menu would fit in one screen
A couple of suggestions for you. Try a watermark in the text area, maybe a shadow of a sculpture? Also how about small pop-up windows for the product images?

Thanks for your comments. I will probably do some pop-up images in time. I just havnt had time. It was for a friend so it was more of a side thingy. But thanks for your opinions and i think i'll add those pop-ups soon. I think that would be better. As for the tree, thats what he wants and all he wants. So thats up to him. Thanks again! Any other comments?

The only comment I have is...
1) The menu buttons arn't spectacular. I would make them look cool since they are one of the few graphics on the page. I don't really like the rollovers either.
Overall the design and layout are nice and simple.

Nice and simple, I actually don’t mind the logo. But I agree that the navigation could use some enhancement. Some “product” photographs on the front page would also help. I’d make the table a bit larger and specify a font. You also do not have a title.
Nice order form by the way!
Good luck,

LOL ya that order form is pretty smooth!!!
ya i need fix some things on that page. I agree the rollovers need some spicing up and i must of totally forgot about the title. Thats a lame error. I am thinking of puting some more graphics around but i dont know yet. I will just wait till i have time.
Thanks for all the opinions!

Hmm...
I like your logo. It looks a little strange though. Not sure what it is but it just looks weird.
Ok the navigation looks to small. Add some more sections to the site. I do like how when you put your mouse over one of them it changes the text at the bottom. I don't like the buttons in the navigation. The green is good since it is a Garden Type site. I do not care for the font you used. (Comic Sans?) Make it Verdena or go on-line and download a cool looking font. I think you should also make those buttons 3d. Make a border around them and make them look 3D.
I like the shopping cart. It looks cool. On the main page you should tell a few products you have. Also you should change what you have now "Products" to "Order" and make Products a whole listing of products where they can click and look at the product, then be able to select below "Add to Shopping Cart". Something like that would be nice.
Overall the site is pretty good.
