    Dropped this in last week. Mulch in early spring for best results.
    Connie L.

    I am a master gardener and have been gardening for decades. Melvin's is my go to company for mulch. For reference, this year I ordered 10 yards. Great quality mulch. Fair price. Fast delivery and friendly delivery drivers. Other reviewers have complained about getting weeds. Melvin only sells you mulch not a landscaping team. You get weeds with or without mulch but with mulch they're pretty easy to pull out and your chosen plants are happy. I have purchased less expensive mulch from other companies/municipalities that is full of junk. Melvin's is high quality and NOT full of seeds. Life can get busy and I've made the mistake of failing to keep my garden mulched. Those are the kind of weeds you don't wanna deal with particularly in a large garden. When I have a fresh mulch pile sitting in my driveway people stop to find out where I got that beautiful stuff. I recommend them all the time and will continue to use them.

    End result of the patio project!

    I visited Plant Land for the first time in early June (noting that for selection reasons). A friend…read morerecommended I check it out! Overall I was expecting "more" from the shopping visit. I came with a particular need in mind, shade annuals to plant in a specific area. I assumed going to a local business rather than a chain would entail more of a personal touch but I didn't get that. The two employees greeted me but didn't ask if I needed any help so I figured I'd just roam around and see what I could find. I didn't think the types of plants were labeled very well, so I ended up back at the register to ask for advice. After I interrupted her reading a magazine, the lady gave me a couple of suggestions and pointed to areas I could look but it would have been nice if she walked me to the spot and helped me look for what she recommended. She also mentioned they were out of the options that may be a good fit so I guess, come earlier than the first week of June for a full selection. We aren't all garden experts and I was hoping they would be. Anyway, I figured out what to get by reading the markers in the plants. I can't say for sure, but I feel like I was also overcharged for the plants I selected. You'll see in my picture but their pricing for most items is based on the size of the container. How do I know the guy who rang me up picked the right price? My receipt didn't provide details so I couldn't verify later. Anyway, I like the plants I selected but I don't think I'll return. I get more of a personal touch with plant advice from my local hardware store (though they have a limited selection).

    Great selection, knowledgeable staff. Year after year! Just love this nursery. Shop here every…read morespring for the best! Will not shop another.

I had already done much of my garden shopping for the year, prior to visiting, but was in need of a fancy iron trellis, some tomato plants, native grasses. Custom Grown Greenhouses has a large selection of affordable vegetables, herbs, annuals, a small selection of perennials, and they also carried affordably priced pre-made succulent planters (which are really popular and pricey at other garden shops). I did find the tomato I was looking for, and the native grass selection was adequate, although not extensive. I was disappointed that there wasn't much of a trellis selection beyond the most basic trellis, but many things just weren't clearly priced, so you'd have to find an associate. I actually would've bought lots more, had prices just been clearly displayed. This place IS affordable, and it's definitely worth checking out.

My fiancée is really into gardening. Unfortunately, she didn't get seeds in the ground this year because our housing situation was a bit up in the air just as she'd have needed to be planting. In need of some greenery in our lives we stopped in here just to take a look around. This place is way bigger than it looks from the street. As you walk back, you'll pass from room to well-organized room of all sorts of annuals, perennials, vegetables, and other decorative plants. I don't have much of a green thumb myself, but I couldn't help myself from getting a really cool hanging basket with a succulent in it called "string of pearls" or "rosary beads." It looks like a string filled with tiny grapes or peas. It's a cool, unique, and weird houseplant. I've got it hanging on my front porch right now (but thankfully protected from the crazy storms). It's not always immediately clear what something costs just looking at the tables, but it seemed like the staff was buzzing around enough that you could ask easily. All-in-all, a great and apparently underrated place

I…read morewas here a few weeks back before close and even though I got what I was looking for (wooden laundry basket) I HAD to come back. This place is like a fun interactive adult museum. Getting to see so many curated spaces,touch a bunch of fabrics,be submersed in a piece of furniture. I came hear for their cookies! Left with 10 packs.The cutest packaged cookies I've ever seen with hearts for my tea parties. I'm ecstatic that they came out with a third flavor! Lemon Vanilla! I have yet to taste test. Also! 2 for $3 if you're an in ikea member instead of 2 for $5. The membership is free and they call you family after, so worth it and it's funny because you may not be related to your friend by blood but family through IKEA :) I seriously don't think I'll have room today to taste test after having their Swedish meatball lunch with linenberry juice. LINNENBERRY juice! I seriously love it. It's way better than cranberry juice, sweeter but more refreshing. It's an ikea thing. I also came for my snake plant (I heard they're impossible to kill:) ) got that! Got a breakfast in bed tray for my picnics. This place sparks up great convo with your friend and just great inspo all around if you're a visual person,such cute stuff. Some funky looking stuff, all quit practical. As someone who appreciates systems and inclusivity, you name it this place has got it down. Besides handi-capped parking there is parking for expecting mothers and parents with children! The bathrooms have complimentary toiletries. Staff is attentive. Finished off with the second meal place after checking out after we read a sign about free ice cream! :) who can pass that up, got a boat load of strawberry vanilla swirl. And a hotdog (for the experience) and had a complimentary cinnamon roll sample while we waited and figured out the self serve ordering kiosk.

    Love visiting IKEA. Theres so much to see. Everyone that works there is very helpful…read more Love the selection's they have. You can literally take care of your entire household in one shopping trip. Minus of course your essential groceries.
