The store offers a plethora of organic plants and gardening tools and resources. The work of local artisans is among the featured products sold in the store. A second primary location on Franklin Street in the Cottontown community provides a more substantial inventory and hosts community gardening workshops and events. Open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., these stores also offer an array of premier, robust live Christmas trees during the bustling holiday season. If you haven't been to these stores, they are worth a visit in support of the numerous, diverse local businesses in the vibrant gardening community in the Midlands and surrounding areas.

At times I didn't think he would be able to finish because so many of my neighbors interrupted his work to chat with him! Zac planned an array of plants that will have my yard in bloom from early spring through the fall. I gaze out of my office window with enjoyment and pleasure every day. Thank you, Zac. I look forward to tackling the back yard in the future!

They're well-equipped to help you with your needs, whether you're looking for large items (trees, bushes) for a landscape overhaul or just looking for a bit of color for your porch. It's peaceful just to walk around the area and see what they've got. The staff is great about asking if you need help or have questions: they're very knowledgeable. I'm new to this gardening zone and have had a lot of questions about what grows here. Their recommendations have all been spot-on. These are not big-box store quality flowers. They're robust and have that certain personality (gardeners know what I'm talking about!) that plants from nurseries possess. They have trees, bushes, mosses, annuals, perennials, succulents, and plenty of other things I'm forgetting. There's a greenhouse on the premises, and the entire place is decorated with unexpected found art. And they're a local business. If you still need convincing, they have a great cat.

She was so accommodating and wanted to help in any way that she could. She was always available to discuss our event, either over the phone or in person. Becky helped us set up, clean up and helped direct our other vendors. The inside was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. The space is large and fit our group comfortably. The outdoor wet bar is fantastic and made it easy for the bartender we hired to provide us with service. Parking is ample. Plenty of room for the kids to run around and play too. Everyone had a great time and we will probably be back next year!

I want to be very honest about my experience with the Corley Mill House. I got married on…read more June 15, 2019. I chose this venue because of the inclusiveness of it all and me living out of town. I don't know that I would choose this venue again due to these 5 most important factors for me: Communication Mrs. Sheila was very good at responding back to my emails very quickly! I was able to reach her by phone and setup times to come in. However, on the pricing sheet it stated there were many other items for use. I asked several times in January and February for the list of items. She said it would be finished by the end of February but I never received it. Food I was the most disappointed with the food. I chose an option for a beef brisket carving station which on the menu explicitly states it is carved in front of guests. There was no carving and the small sliders were already put together. I also chose a mac and cheese action chef station in which the menu also states there are many toppings to choose from such as pulled pork, bacon, mushrooms, ,etc. There were no toppings but bacon for the mac and cheese. The beaufort stew skewers were cold and did not seem very fresh. The bartender made my pineapple, rum, and strawberry drinks all wrong. I sent a very specific email stating how these should be made. Instead the ingredients were poured in a pitcher and served from there. Those drinks were to be made when ordered and shaken. Friendliness The entire catering staff that day were very sweet. However, the bartender had a less than pleasant demeanor and not very friendly. I do not feel I had any issues with Sheila or day-of coordinator Nancy as far as friendliness was concerned. Mrs. Sheila was always able to make time to meet me when I wanted to set a quick meeting. Nancy was very pleasant and friendly the day of. Ease of the day I will say that it was a HUGE relief and help to have Nancy directing the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. It is also a huge help because they do help with clean up and getting things to your car. This is a major plus! I rented and paid for 7 hours. 4:30 to 11:30! I did end up cutting the wedding short because many guests had already left and I was feeling tired. I ended and left around 10 or 10:15. I was very disheartened to hear that my family that stayed behind to gather my personal belongings felt rushed to get out of the house. As I was leaving, things were already being cleaned and put away. This should not have happened as I paid for the event to go to 11:30. Cleanliness On the day of my wedding, the card and gift table linen had several crumbs of some sort on which I had to brush off and a small stain. Positives of the venue Good space and beautiful grounds, help with logistics from Nancy during rehearsal and the day of, and they set up everything for you. Needs Improvement FRIENDLINESS from bartender, cleanliness, quality of food and providing exactly what is offered on the menu, taking the time to understand exactly how I wanted things set up, and making my family feel rushed to gather my belongings even though they were still on paid time.

The upgrades completed by John, the location, and the inclusion of many items needed for an event really made planning so easy. I highly recommend a visit to this venue as you make wedding plans. The grounds are beautiful, well kept, and easy to maneuver for all of your guests. The location is easily located for all those attending your event.
