They didn't have a big selection but every tree they did have was good, and the prices were very friendly. It was "colder than a ticket taker's smile..." as Tom Waits might sing, but the fellow working here didn't let his gout stop him from trimming the base of the tree and tying it to the top of my car. I also got a nice potted evergreen plant and a warm feeling in my heart even though I'm more of a Festivus guy than a Christmas celebrant.

The location is right off of 6th St. North of W. Layton Ave. They don't have the biggest selection…read morebut the selection they have are awesome and if great quality! They do have many sizes and full dense trees! The customer service is exceptional! I showed them the tree I wanted then went into the greenhouse to look at the millions of poinsettias and by the time I made it to the register the tree was on the truck and tied up. They even trimmed the bottom so I wouldn't have to at home. They threw in a complimentary poinsettia which was super nice! I will be back and I encourage others to visit this location for your Christmas Tree!

This may very well be the happiest place on earth, no offense to Mickey Mouse. Ever since I was a…read morechild I've loved stickers, drawing, colorful things, journaling -- all those types of things. I got my very own set of personalized stationery when I was 13 and thought I was THE SH*T (Reader: I was, in fact, not.). My first job was at a gift shop and my favorite part was wrapping presents. Walking into Broadway Paper was like going to Mecca. HUGE selection of gift wrap. Gorgeous pens all in a row. Stickers. Notebooks. Plushies. Gifts for everyone on your list. Wisconsin merch. Everything is so colorful and happy. I could have easily gone broke in there but limited myself to a handful of cards, a Christmas ornament, and a vinyl sticker. I thought the prices were fair -- I've seen similar cards on Etsy for the same price. I would 100% come back here next time I'm in MKE.

Offerings range from very reasonably priced seed beads to higher end stuff like Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. Pretty much everything in between is well represented - semi precious beads, strands, accent and focal beads and plenty of tools. I find the staff here is really helpful too - I was looking for a specific chain style and while they didn't stock it, they were able to guide me to plenty of alternates.

The best…read morepart of this store for me is the extraordinary selection of wild bird feeders, nest boxes, food, etc. They have the most beautiful selection of bird bathes. Colored glass bowls with decorative wrought iron stands of all different shapes and sizes, The coup de grâce for me was a variety of small logs with holes drilled to hold suet for woodpeckers and flickers.. My neighbor has one and it is always in use. This is the only place I am aware of that carries these special woodpecker feeders. Other stand outs include a huge selection of lawn ornaments, decorations, and hard to find high quality gardening tools. I did not spend nearly enough time browsing to even begin to describe what this store has to offer. The man behind the counter (who seemed to be the owner) was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I will be back, many times, I'm sure. Check this place out!

Not sure what is reasonable or pricey for a plant, but most of them seemed fair to me. Although I did have to put back a string of pearls succulent. A little pricey, and I know I would kill this beauty. It was nice to just wander about without anyone trying to be overly helpful. Took my time and found some new plants for my apartment. Which will not die on me!! The staff, at checkout, were very friendly and efficient. I will definitely go back. Great succulent selection which I have a soft spot for.
