I've been following Colonial Gardens on social media for a while and they have some fun events . I…read morefinally made it to one, plant bingo. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was so fun, that I attended a second time in the same month. The event is held in their greenhouse, which makes the perfect backdrop for this event. You play three rounds of bingo with three cards each round, and each game has one plant prize, so one winner. There's a Plant Bar serving cocktails and popcorn, plus a coffee shop on site with small bites available during the event. Jessica, the events coordinator, is friendly and fun. After all games are played you have time to shop. I went during January and there wasn't an abundance of plants and flowers, but I'm looking forward to spring to check out the greenhouse when it is blooming.

He helped me pick out a variety of maples, oaks, crab apples and evergreens for my landscape. 4 of the trees were very large 20-25 footers and they were planted by Teal's Lawn Service out of Harrisonville. The rest were planted by Jim's crew. Talk about a very professional group I highly recommend both Timberview Nursery and Teal's Lawn Services for your tree needs!

The wine slushy machine wasn't on, but I enjoyed a glass of Quady sweet wine instead. Even though it was busy, the bartenders were friendly and welcoming. Wine prices were reasonable, and we bought a cute cup to take home. Overall, great vibes and service.

I have sent an email to the landscaping dept and 2 days later their response is that the next day he will be calling me and sending out the proposal. Well it all hasn't happened and it has been 6 days since I was told they would get back to me the next day. It had been incredibly poor/nonexistent communication throughout. I was very excited but now super disappointed that they haven't followed through and are unable to communicate back to me, the customer

I needed pebbles for painting critters on rocks. I never intended to paint critters on rocks, and…read moredidn't get small rocks from my last visit at House of Rocks. I found Randy's Lakeview Nursery and Stone in Lee's Summit. It's a beautiful facility near Lake Jacomo, It is a brown wooden barn and cute. In the back there's piles of different rocks, different sizes. They allowed me to hand pick what I needed, and I paid for it at the cash register. They also have a plant area and beautiful metal work. Landscaping rocks are their specialty. They also deliver locally, which is good to know, not many places do. There's no where in Independence that does this sort of service and have landscaping rocks available. I selected Missouri River Pebbles and will return when I need more.

When I Really Need a Hardware Store!…read more Living exactly one mile from a Home Depot it is pretty logical for me to head there when I need something for a home project. But when I really need something that is critical to finishing a project or a home emergency (like a specific size washer, actual plumbing supplies, or even the correct "bit" for my rotary tool) I go the extra mile to Westlake Ace Hardware. No, it is not a "home center" it is a "hardware" store! It shares a large parking lot in a strip mall on MO 291 North, across from the Lee's Summit Historic Cemetery. You are welcomed in through their large assortment of out door plants just outside of the door, and a serious selection of high quality grills and BBQ supplies, then the really "important" stuff lies behind that. Row after row of hardware! Not the prepackaged assortments of washers, screws, hinges, but individual washers, screws and hinges! Come on, do you really need a dozen 10 mm bolts or just one to get your back on the road? Or how about that spacer for your envisioned improvement to your lawn tractor? And then is the replacement rotary switch for your custom headboard going to be found in the plastic bagged parts of a normal home center? If there is any doubt, Westlake Ace Hardware usually has it, and staff that understands you pain and where to find the cure. From replacement door keys, to the proper paint brushes to use with the special paint you finally found for that perfect room color, Westlake has always come through with either what I needed or a recommendation for a replacement item that might work better or is lower in cost. I know that when I go there I am not looking for fancy packaging, but the "thing" I need. Westlake is my port-in-the storm, and sometimes my salvation when I am at a loss to finish that important project - and at a reasonable cost
