Being a novice to gardening, I stumbled across Shady Acres when searching for family-owned area…read morenurseries and am I glad I did! Shady Acres is very nicely sized. You can see their entire selection from one end to the other, which is laid out exceptionally well with clearly marked sections. All of the plants are in alphabetical order throughout wide aisles. I am not one to trek through acres & acres of plants, only to get confused & tired. Plants are very competitively priced for the size and outstanding quality. They provide 2 sizes of wagons for your selections while you shop the well-kept grounds. They offer a nice selection of garden ornaments and their own gardens are very nice to walk through to get some great ideas for your own place. The staff are all very nice, helpful and pleasant. They listen to your needs and will direct you to all of the proper plants that are right for the areas you want to beautify. A special shout-out to Anna who always has the best advice for my very-pale green thumb. No matter if you're in the area or not, it is worth the drive. Highly recommended!

Just had to visit Shady Acres Perennial Nursery on opening day April 18, 2026. We've always had…read moresuch wonderful results with all the plants we've purchased in the past from Hostas, Balloon Flowers and Asters. This year, we're adding a few more new ones we picked up: Yarrow, Lady's Mantel & Pincushion Plants. Can't wait to see them in our gardens! Always such a fantastic selection and at great prices! You can tell that Shady Acres takes prides in what they grow and sell!

It's a jungle in there. A must-visit! Will be coming back for more gems & plant updatesread more

I read an article about Riverwest Grown and I thought I should visit this place. Months later I…read moredid. I'm a avid gardener with three gardens, in Fort Myers Beach Florida, Nashotah Wisconsin and Glendale Wisconsin. I was very impressed with the owner who is very friendly and shares his knowledge of plants freely. I overheard his conversations with several customers and thought we'll said when shared how to propergate a plant...most garden centers and nurseries nearly know or share these insights. I'll definitely be back!! Buy local!

I have been going to Fred's for over 40 years now. It was always a place of joy for me and my…read morefamily. Sadly, Diane and her husband - sold the business to their son John. He has no customer finesse and acts like he hates his customers. Shortened Memorial Day hours- he is blatantly RUDE to his customers. Ruined all the years of Diane's work. Not to mention all of his (John's) hard work in putting the greenhouses and plants together. He ruined it with his actions to long time customers.

Whether it's Christmas time (the best) or any other time of year and I need a tree, the OMalley…read moreFamily Farm is our favorite must visit place. Not only is the farm family run (by a spectacular multigenerational family I might add), but it's filled with all the magic and mystery of the season in the best ways possible. I can't imagine the stress of running a seasonal operation, one where people only consider the here and now and don't recognize the YEAR LONG process that organizing, setting up, planning, creating takes but the O'Malleys do it flawlessly and every year surprise and delight us beyond compare. We love kicking off the holiday season with a trip to the farm to pick up a Christmas tree but more than that, we love the festive and unique experience they offer for us and our three little kids. Let's start with the FREE inclusions...big bonfires, pictures with Santa, hot chocolate and popcorn, shots of Jameson for the moms and dads just trying to stay warm this and every holiday season, funny and cute little holiday headbands (which are such a hit with the littles), holiday photo ops, and the scavenger hunt hayride, which is a family favorite. Then add on the special little extras like snacks (pretzels, churros, chili?!), and s'mores, and even PHOTOS WITH SANTAS REINDEER?!! It's truly like seeing your childhood dreams become a reality. If you haven't had a chance to visit, please do! You and your children (or just your inner child) will thank you!

We had a fantastic experience working with Johnson's Nursery on a recent landscaping project…read more Carrie was patient and very helpful throughout the extended planning process. When we were ready to move forward, she kept everything on track and on schedule. The installation team was excellent--efficient, respectful, and careful to protect our existing lawn during the process. We really appreciated the attention to detail. Johnson's has an impressive selection of native plants, and their deep knowledge of what works best for our yard was invaluable. They provided a detailed presentation with plant info and care instructions, which will be a huge help as we care for the new additions. We're so happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be working with them again on the next phase of our landscape improvements!

This nursery has probably the largest variety and size of landscaping options in the area. They…read morealso make their inventory readily available via the internet, which is great for planning purposes. Some of their prices were on par with others in the area, and some were much higher. We ordered quite a few trees from them this year (and even more from another local nursery). We had money down on trees that were due to arrive within 1-2 months from deposit. As it got closer, they did not notify us the date had changed, so by the time we were notified, others go to come and make a pick before us (instead of picking two from about a dozen, we picked from four). In the end we were happy with our purchases, but they could work out some of the logistics and followthrough with regular customers (we sensed the contractors got a little more attention). Also, I will add that years ago we paid for someone from Johnsons to come and give us ideas for our yard. I think we paid about $150 to get the lamest "sketch", but Johnsons was good about refunding the amount as a credit towards future purchases. It just was a bummer that we wasted time waiting for the person to come out and then a month for them to give us a photo of our yard with some pictures of 2 plants awkwardly pasted over it. If the person had take us seriously, they would have gotten way more business from us. Still, we recommend this place for its large inventory and quality of products.
