But this year I was very disappointed. Bought 2 large hanging plants (about 3:30 on a Saturday) and 2 days later on Monday the flowers were wilted and shriveled. I brought it back to Gade around 2pm Monday that's less than 48hrs. The staff was very pleasant and took the time to look at it. But the explanation given was I must have let it dry out and to remove the dead flowers and it would bounce back. I don't know how that's possible as it was well water when I brought it home and the it rained the entirety of the next day. I had bought 2 baskets of the same flowers and the other was perfectly fine. Just very disappointing because my daughter's prom is in 4 days and I had bought these for the pictures. Now I need to go to another garden center tomorrow for a replacement.

Then, several visits and purchases over the years make me feel comfortable and excited enough to revisit, mostly this location. The most recent visit was no exception. Colourful annuals fit for the spring were aplenty both in the front and the back of the store, and we found plants here that we hadn't seen at any other major garden centre in the Capital Region so far. Maiden grass was the awesome find on the most recent visit, and the staff at checkout answered our questions about plant care which was very helpful. The prices appear to be competitive, as we found both lower, equivalent, and higher prices compared to several garden centres in the area. Parking here has not been an issue and they have their own parking lot, and we appreciated they were open till 7pm when some other stores were closed. I hope they stay open for a long time.

Among the…read moreHewitt's I have visited or driven by, this one does have good curb appeal, at least from driving by on Western Avenue. I wish their parking lot had more appeal though, it's badly in need of re-paving. Once you're actually inside, you'll find there's a lot more to check out than you can see from Western Avenue as well. Visiting at the end of the season is a bit of a 2-edged sword. They're out of a lot of things right now as they stock up for fall and Christmas promotions. But at the same time, you can get some really good deals on close-out items, as I did this time. This store is well staffed and everyone there was friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to coming back here as their seasonal inventories change.

My wife and I decided that for our first Christmas in our new house we would get a real tree. (We…read morehave for years used a cheap artificial tree from Walmart). Without really knowing what we were getting into, we followed a friend's recommendation to this place. We went the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and it was very busy. Online articles say that this is the busiest weekend for buying real trees, and if you wait too long you may get stuck with an ugly tree. When we arrived around 10:20, it was plenty busy. We rode a hay wagon up the hill to an area covered with trees, were handed saws to cut them down, and let loose. Many trees have colored tags which correspond to a sheet of paper they give you listing prices (purple trees cost X, yellow tags cost Y, etc.) Untagged trees are available for purchase but they recommend you ask someone who works there first for a price quote before cutting it down to avoid sticker shock. My wife left the area where the others were and hiked into the back portion to find the "perfect tree." She found one that was a bit too tall for our house, but we had to have it. We asked for a quote and it was well within our budget. Unfortunately, there was only one person doing quotes so we waited literally 20-30 minutes before the guy came and found us in the back. Had we selected a pre-tagged tree, it would have gone much quicker. Then, I cut it down and he loaded it onto the wagon, and back we went. They only accept cash or checks, and they won't help you mount it on the car (for insurance reasons we were told) though they do have plenty of twine. I don't think they bale the trees either, at least I didn't see it available. They have a small store in the barn with cocoa and such, though after a morning of cold and rain I was in no mood to investigate. We secured the tree to the car and headed home. The place was cute and had lots of nice trees. Ours ended up being $48, which seemed fair. It might be more than one from a big box store, but we were paying for the experience of searching it out, cutting it, and bringing it home. As tree farms go, this was a much nicer than the one we went to in the past and I would recommend the place.

I asked one the kids working there, "I know we're not in Zone 10, but what Zone are we in?" He looked at me blankly as if I had asked him to solve a quadratic equation...Fortunately, another customer had overheard our conversation and said, "We're in Zone 5, those will be dead by October." We did get a few things, and after putting them in, realized we needed more, I told my wife, "We're going to Kulak's tomorrow." I had a question about mulching perennials as well as keeping weeding to a minimum, (we're creating a perennial garden out of an area where bushes grew for years) and were directed to Allison. She's a wealth of information, a little bit into our conversation, another customer stopped to listen. Allison asked, "Can I help you?", the customer said, "No, this is really interesting, please continue." She's also really funny and personable as well as informative. Everything they offer is quality. Again, you will pay for quality, but you will not be sorry to go there, IMHO...
