If you are one of those people who like learning something new throughout your entire life, you can…read morelearn a lot from visiting the Hobbit Gardens in Fillmore (west of Danville and at frequent farmers' markets.) If you are someone who likes getting 'back to basics' or more in touch with the natural parts of your life, then you will like visiting Hobbit Gardens. Okay, just so you know, you won't find anything related to the book series about the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings here. The owner is a fan of the books from here grade school days and liked the connection of the characters to the world around them. The owner opened the shop and herb garden when she moved to the Indy area. All the herbs she sells in her store are grown on the grounds. Not only can you buy herbs, but you can learn about growing them, learn about drying them, about making decorative wreaths, about their medicinal and health values. She offers classes (see her website) to students as well as adults. When you visit, there is limited parking on the gravel drive. The owner owns both the shop and the house, so you can park wherever you see gravel. Because it was late into fall during our visit, most of the herbs outside were already harvested, but she still had fresh herbs potted inside the shop so you could see about getting some of those. To be honest, I didn't make any purchases because I frankly don't use herbs for anything other than for cooking. My wife asked a lot of questions and because she did, I learned a lot more than I would have. So, I can't give you any pricing on the products. Sorry. But Constance is a pleasure to speak with and she has been immersed in learning about all the uses of herbs for decades. While there we chatted with her as we walked through the gardens and into the shop. There are special events on the property whenever a solstice or a new year starts. There is even a Sweat Lodge on site towards the back of the property that can be reserved for special occasions. I have to admit I am not sure if I would ever be interested in reserving it, but I found it interesting. The space seems inviting and just walking about and smelling the fragrances left us feeling relaxed and calm...more in touch with nature. If you feel like learning more and want to do something out of the ordinary, give Constance a call or check her out at one of the Farmers' Markets (She attends the Winter's Market at the Indy CCIC starting in mid-November if you don't feel like driving to the far west side. My wife and I enjoyed our visit and the opportunity to learn something new. Review #3815

It is a little off the beaten track, located near Tony Stewart's elaborate estate west of Columbus. Not too many flowers, but lots of shrubs, bushes, hedges, etc, at reasonable prices. The business is part of a vertically integrated landscaping concern run by an over-educated gentleman named Dean, although the nursery is run by a friendly and knowledgeable manager named Kim. She is a font of ideas and suggestions, and if you bring photos of your garden and house she is more than willing to get you going. This is about as non-corporate as it gets, and the selection is way more diverse than the big box stores. The shrubs are grown and tended with care, and are guaranteed healthy--you can replace anything that doesn't survive. If you want great service with a personal touch, you can't go wrong here. Credit cards taken too, no need to bring cash

I had to go in to ask about some bushes we were interested in and wanted to see if they had more or were getting more. The two women working the register were extremely rude and disrespectful. They were more concerned about cutting cardboard and making faces and gossiping. I finally got one's attention as the other continued to talk over me and I was just asking for help. She told me she couldn't help me and the other gave me a weird look as I was disrupting their gossip time. The prices were a bit high, but we wanted to support local. If you pride yourself in the quality in what you carry. Where is the quality customer services? We put back what we already picked and the list of everything we needed back. We already had several thousand dollars worth of things and needed help with the rest. We went to support different a local nursery that deserved the business. If you aren't here for the customer and you didn't know we were going to spend $7-$12k. Act better. Be better. Do better. No response needed. You said enough today with your employees actions.
