Bought 15 skip laurels here. 12 out of the 15 are completely dead less than a year later. Terrible…read morequality plants. They were planted in large holes with loose, rich soil at the bottom, adequately watered and got partial sun (they are supposed to do well in full shade or full sun). Didn't matter. 90% of them are completely dead now. That's nearly $2,000 in dead plants.

I used Bay Gardens to completely overhaul my yard which had been over grown with weeds and bushes…read more It wasn't a cheap job but it was done quickly and, most important, correctly. I could say more but I think the before and after pictures speak for themselves. The first picture was right before the came, the second was right after the put down the grass seed and the last picture is a few weeks later.

I am in search of a vintage covered vegetable dish, and so far have not found one that I like. I…read morehad passed Barntique a couple of times, but decided to go on a Friday. It's a collection of little houses and sheds, all antique and collectible shops. Adorable!! Not all the places were open--they are on Saturdays--but I did wander into a couple. I didn't find a covered dish, but I did find a lamp that I liked (didn't buy it as I would need to find a place for it) and spoke with some VERY nice, friendly shop owners. The shops are all very individual. Some specialize in a certain type of collectible, some sell art, and others have a variety of offerings. Prices were generally quite reasonable. I will definitely go back on a Saturday, probably with a friend, and wander through more of the shops. I'm positive that I took pictures, but I can't find them. Will add if I do.

There are definitely plenty of unique places to shop for stuff. Everybody's got stuff and sometimes…read moreone person's stuff just doesn't work for them anymore and so it can be someone else's stuff. Consider Barntique Village a great place to find some of this...stuff. I use that word "stuff" because this interestingly-setup Moriches location is filled with all kinds of it. Before I say another word about...stuff, I do want to mention that you could easily think Barntique is actually a little historical village or a place to have a picnic. Nah. It's actually just filled with stuff. Tons of tiny barns, houses, shacks, and anything else that can fit a person inside of it can be found at Barntique, each one offering an eclectic variety of...well, you know. My fiancée and I (along with her family) came here a few weekends ago and stumbled upon some great finds. Some wall items for our new home, a rustic-looking bread box, and a little Christmas decor to round out the trip. What's great is that we didn't pay full price for anything we bought as the idea of Barntique is similar to a flea market. Haggling price is totally something doable (if you want to) and so we were able to shave some dollars off most of our purchases. So when you come, there's definitely a chance to find some great stuff, but in between the positives, there is a lot of stuff you're just going to have to sift through. A few of the shacks and shops were set up beautifully while many were rather messy. Plus one of them (the biggest barn in the village) wasn't open and another was still setting up though the owners weren't the friendliest. Some time, patience, and sifting is definitely helpful here. Overall, I'd give Barntique Village a 3.5 star rating with a little nudge towards four knowing we found several great items the day we went. With that in mind, it makes it desirable to want to return to Barntique again. Though just be warned as you might have to do your best to get through a lot of...things (Ha!) if you want to find something worth buying.
