My love affair with Katsura began months before they opened as I drove by each week they were…read moreadding new stock. Finally after several months I had a reason to go in... I needed a weeping cherry tree. I went around to the usual places and while they had cherry trees the were not of the quality i was looking for. I did not want a Home Depot tree or something in a 10 gallon container. I want a TREE. Okay. So I drive down to Plymo with the intention of getting a tree. I walk through the nursery and realize there are several different specimens that I would like. The owner comes to my rescue and careful tells me about the differences between the trees and I make my final deciscion. This is where things take a turn. The owner motions to the help to get a special tree lifting type of machine. The person maneuvers the equipment and snatches the tree up. I am know faced with the problem. I paid for the tree... I think it was over $300. The tree is now out of the ground and I can fully see the root ball - it is roughly the size of a VW Beetle. The ask were the truck is and I motion towards my small Toyota Tacoma. The nursery folk ask how I plan on planting the tree and I say off my girlfriend and I will. They laugh and suggest I buy some beer and invite my guy friends over. By this time I am crying on the inside knowing this is going to be a disaster. They are kind enough to give me some very comprehensive planting instructions and wrap it up in landscaping fabric for the journey home. Fast forward to the planting. It was a disaster. The tree fell off of the ingenious Rube Goldberg contraption I had devised to plant the tree and land on my foot. I was lucky enough to be able to fire up the old Range Rover's winch and through a series of intricate pulleys winch the huge tree across the lawn to is respective location. Katsura is a great place to go. They have a lot of specimen trees and Japanese maples, but just be aware that some of the trees are larger then they appear.

Not only is she the consummate professional, she really knows her stuff…read more I needed help in landscaping my family's front yard - as a surprise - and needed it to be beautiful and low maintenance. A friend recommended Rebecca and I am so happy she did. Since it is summer, this is her busy season yet she still found time to come out to the site, do some hands on 'study' of the property, asked for my price point and went to work. I am not a gardener - plants run when they see me coming - so her patience and constant reassurance was key and soothing. She showed up with her Jeep, her tools, iced tea and wonderful smile... and she put me to work (I volunteered) so I could get a feel for things. Ever the perfectionist, Rebecca delivered just what I needed and wanted. Again, not knowing the first thing about plants, green things or the costs of such work, I asked my wine drinking housewife friends about the pricing and they all assured me it was very good and competitive. If you need a little something special done with a nice feminine touch and personable one-on-one serviceability, look no further. Rebecca is your gal pal. AND dogs love her.

The list of failures would cause a doctor to lose their license, but fortunately for Duxbury Gardeners there is no meaningful licensure in Massachusetts. Less than a year in, the stonework separated from spa, a retaining wall failed, 10 plantings died and that was AFTER the construction woes of COLLAPSING the pool company's plumbing, cutting marked underground cables, the fire pit had to be replaced (twice - "it was a known defect", why put in something that is known to be defective???) and most notably running over the septic system line despite having been informed on location (and obviously having plans) - even after being told "you know - that's not a good idea" they asked my wife anticipating that somehow women aren't intelligent. Jason is a nice guy and good crayon drawer but this company is a pure nightmare. Hard to admit making a mistake that cost this amount of money, but hopefully it saves someone else some a bigger headache.

We live on the marsh and are constantly exposed to high winds and salt. We wanted something that would look nice, be low maintenance and could withstand the elements. Matt gave us fantastic ideas!

They are so easy to work with, have great ideas and intall everything on a timely basis. Thanks for making our new home look beautiful!

Plimoth Patuxent Museums is a living history museum in Plymouth that operates at a level of…read moreimmersion and historical depth that distinguishes it from most comparable sites in New England. We spent a full day on the main campus, which encompasses the reconstructed English colonial village, the Wampanoag homesite, a wooden fort overlooking the bay, and access to the Mayflower II and the Grist Mill. The combination of those components made it a full day visit rather than a quick stop. The historical interpreters are the defining element of the experience. In the English colonial village, the actors remained in character throughout, speaking as 17th century colonists and engaging with us from within that perspective without breaking the illusion. The knowledge they brought to those interactions was thorough enough that specific questions about individual historical figures, including ancestors who came over on the Mayflower, could often be addressed in detail. The Wampanoag homesite operates differently, with Native staff who speak as themselves and share the history and culture of the Wampanoag people from their own perspective rather than through historical character. That distinction is meaningful and gave the site a dual narrative. The canoe making demonstrations and the depth of knowledge the staff brought to those conversations were highlights of that section. For a living history experience that handles multiple perspectives with care and depth, Plimoth Patuxent Museums is one of the more rewarding historical sites in the region and well worth the time commitment.

As long as you have the right mindset and think of this as a trio of museums-- the main grounds on…read moreWarren Avenue (formerly "Plymouth Plantation"), the Mayflower II on the waterfront, and the Grist Mill further inland, it can be a fun, educational and step-count-padding experience. But each one unto itself can be as underwhelming as Plymouth Rock is small (and underwhelming)-- and I came in with high expectations based on fond memories from youth. -- Pilgrim Village and Wampanoag Huts: Impressive structures, but mostly empty, with very sparse allocation of costumed human actors and no scheduled presentations. It's sort of the historical/museum equivalent of going to see a comedian who doesn't have an actual set, but relies exclusively on crowd work. The actors, when you can find them, do a nice job, and some are quite knowledgable-- but the onus is on the paying visitors to ask questions, so go in ready to do your own crowd work. They all stay in character, so you can't really ask about them in the third person or refer to things later than outside their 1627 setting. Interestingly, there's at least twice as many gift shop employees as costumed actors. Parking is plentiful. A 2.5-mile ride to the two other attractions. -- Grist Mill: A more relaxed look and an actual presentation, both upstairs where the corn is ground and downstairs looking at the machinery. Another gift shop. Limited parking. Walkable to/from the Mayflower II. -- Mayflower II: A 1950s replica of the original Mayflower, sent to the US as a gift from England. Fun to look around, but limited staff and no real presentation. It's up to you to ask questions. No parking specifically dedicated to this attraction; you gotta park on the main streets. Walkable to/from the Grist Mill. This can be an enjoyable experience if you come prepared with things you want to ask and understand the mostly-self-guided aspect. If not, it can be tiring, boring, and awkward.

Brought it to my back deck, watered it (it was bone dry). Next day....seriously suffering. They give you a "guarantee" and tell you they will refund if you send them photos. I did. They didn't and they didn't help or even respond.. $70 gone, but maybe I can rehab it with time. Since then, bought the same plant for half of the price. Doing nicely. Saw a smaller one for $20 at Job Lot!!!! Doing fabulously. Both of the other ones I purchased are Proven Winners brands. the one from Olsons was not, but is that the reason it's drying? Think not....think they just don't care for them once they are on the lot. Prior to that I've spent at least $200 buying annuals. About 50% of them aren't making it, Think again before you you go here. Product inferior, staff inexperienced....plus they are pretty "grumpy" dealing with customers. There are several other nurseries close whose prices are better and who seem to have more knowledge. Don't bother buying your summer/year round plants from here.
