I've always been a fan of the outdoors and especially doing yard work. I remember trying to mow the…read morelawn as short as I could when I was growing up. Not so I wouldn't have to do it again soon but because I wanted the lawn to look like a golf green. After being scolded a few times by my parents I stopped trying to make our lawn look like a golf green or the outfield grass at a baseball field, and mowed it properly. As I grew up and eventually found my own home, that same passion continued. I like having our yard look nice. While we enjoy a variety of outdoor type stores, we have become fans of Zywiec's. Zywiec's is a family owned landscape and garden center located right off of Hwy 61 in Cottage Grove. We always try to support local establishments and love family owned placed. Zywiec's has been in business for over 30 years. They have all the usual products that you would need for landscaping and gardening. They also have hayrides, a corn maze and other activities. Their prices are very reasonable and we feel on some items they are almost underpriced. We have purchased mulch, rocks, bricks and grass seed to name a few items. Their service has always been fast and friendly. The hardest thing might just be trying to pronounce their name correctly. For some reason I just call them "Zoiks" from Scooby Doo. We've been here several times and we'll sure be back again soon.

It helps generate income for Rochester and the surrounding small towns with people getting hotel rooms and camp sights and eating out and exploring the local flavor. Traffic can be a nightmare if you don't know how to navigate ---most people park and get a golf cart ride to the area. Put on your most comfortable walking shoes because you will do some walking. If you enjoy flea markets and antique shopping this is right up your alley.....you will probably want to take a little push cart to hold your treasures....one year I purchased a heavy rusted dinner bell and had to lug that thing around--but it did build up my muscles....
