“My review is solely on Farrah Saunders-Brown.. I was seeking information on the facility and had a lot of reservation and concerns. Farrah was understanding and very reassuring that all my questions were answered leaving me with no other concerns. Farrah I give you a 5 star and Capital City Gardens need more employees like her. Great job!”
