The Carter Christmas Tree Farm is located in the heart of the Miller Place Historic District…read more Did you know The Carter Christmas Tree Farm listed on the National-Register of Historic Places? Open Saturdays and Sundays only, from November 17th until December 22nd, this is one of our Long Island treasures. I've been using a fake tree for a few years now. I missed having the smell of a real Christmas tree in the house. It gives a special holiday vibe when I see it all decorated. Sure, you can buy a tree from a guy on the side of the road. Drag it to your car and zoom away. How about taking a saw out in the field, choosing your tree and sawing it down?* That's exactly what I did at Carter Christmas Tree Farm. My wife then grabbed an end and we brought it to the front to get wrapped for travel. Don't worry, they have the saws available for you. Once you bring your tree home, you'll need a stand. I had an old stand, 4 screws that tighten around the tree. The tree I purchased from Carter Christmas Tree Farm had a thicker trunk. I had to run to Ace Hardware and purchase a new stand. Carter Christmas Tree Farm sells wreathes for your front door as well as other items needed to decorate your house for Christmas. Thanksgiving weekend is when we like to decorate, if your in the area I highly recommend Carter Christmas Tree Farm for your next freshly cut Christmas tree. *Next year I'm getting a tree with a root ball so I can re plant the tree on my property.

First, let me say that the hubby and I have had a real tree for the last 12 years. We have had them…read morein California, New Jersey and Rhode Island. (Husband is military) We have NEVER had this problem... SO MANY SPIDERS. Dude who left that review was not exaggerating. It wasn't just one or two. My husband thought I was crazy at first...until we woke up the next morning and there were little spiders EVERYWHERE. Obviously they aren't going to hurt us or anything but I have three little kids and I don't want them decorating a tree infested with spiders. I don't know if it's this place or the area, but might be buying a fake tree this year. We put the tree in our backyard. That's where it will live. The one star is for the actual experience of going to the farm and cutting down the tree. That was the best part. Bummer

I'm not sure why the negative reviews! Honestly, Ging's deserves 5 stars. I've been coming out…read moreto this area my entire life, spending my summers in sound beach. I've always known about Ging's, as it's been there for many many decades, but the last time I was there was when I was a child. I decided to do some landscaping at my summer house, and was looking for a specific type of ornamental grass. After trying all the big box stores as well as garden dept on 112, I stopped at Ging's. I was blown away. Ging's nursery was one of the best nurseries I've ever been to. Their selection, quality, neatness, and health of the plants was the best I've ever seen. Every plant they had, had cards written out with the price and key description of what the plant is like..... the prices were the same if not less than any other place too. The staff was helpful, and so friendly. Left with three huge grasses, 5 smaller ones, and 5 lavender plants, all for under $320. You should definitely check them out!

Would recommend!

Spoke to Brian via phone after filling out a contact form. They got back to me maybe in under an…read morehr, which is faaaasssttttt. Brian gave me a quote ($500 for 300 sq ft of sod), made some some sod recommendations (fescue), and in general it was a smooth, pleasant convo. However, the driver arrived 1.5hr AHEAD of schedule. This wasn't ideal, as I had errands to run... and then I was charged $540 vs $500 as was discussed. There was no heads up about this. Again, I'm impressed with the initial communication and the quick turnaround, but you can't add an 8% price increase without letting me know about it in advance. I wanted to support a local biz, this price was now closer to Home Depot eliminating the savings. Just something to be mindful of, when working with Oceanside Nursery.

I explained that & asked what kind of ornamental grass it was ? Ignored . My intention was to purchase about 20 of the ornamental grass that I asked about . So I continued to the cashier to pay for only 4 tomato plants. Explained the situation & she said sorry & he's the owner (lol) she was probably his wife as I was told from a customer at the next nursery down the road which was better priced and good customer service. I was shocked that the cashier @ Powers didn't ask me to show her what my interest was . Oh well , not going there anymore and I'm certainly spreading the word .

Today we shopped for perennials and found an amazing variety of extremely well cared for plants. 1 gal plants at $9.99 and grown by their own local family growers. And you can tell. We chatted with both the husband and wife owners as we navigated through the grounds and had all of our questions answered with professionalism and a pride of ownership that is rare. We will be back.

I paid for the 1/2 cord again, a pallet. When I started to stack the wood, it was wet, dirty and had mold on most of the pieces. The cuts were big and this wood is much different than what I had before. I though maybe just the top layer was wet, but it was most of the pallet. I am now stuck with this wood for the entire winter season. My fires are hard to manage and i am buying Dura flame logs to help keep the fire hot. I was going to purchase a Christmas-tree from them To support this business, but now I am thinking otherwise. I will not purchase from them again. Very disappointed
