This is a place that has a huge selection of flowers, plants, and veggies only in season (think…read moreMay-July). It does not have the selection of bushes or trees that other places have, but what it does have is very reasonable in cost and abundant in selection. We buy our seasonal baskets of flowers, some veggies, and some perennials like Hydrangeas --which are $20 less per basket than say, The Growing Place. So it's like Home Depot prices with a lot of selection. I think their main clients are landscapers and wealthy home owners, as I see trucks of stuff pull away. Avoid the knick Knack area. I bought a very pretty metal water fountain for birds one year for over a hundred, and it immediately rusted (threw out). I think some of their garden decorations are decades old. Stick to the plants.

Parking is in the front (sometimes a bit congested) and plentiful in the back (trust me, keep driving). The grounds are organized crystal clear- succulents, perennials, annuals, trees, etc. They are also very well staffed with people who truly understand plants- that's so nice and what they're known for: they truly LOVE plants! Look for the blue tshirts! They're happy to help! I wish they had somewhere to eat on the grounds. Or at least a coffee cart! Sometimes everyone just needs a little snack;) While their prices are pricier, I'd rather support these guys than Home Depot.

It was not busy that day (this past Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend) so that's super odd. But it's a gorgeous place to walk and choose plants. They are also one of the few places that still have organic veggie plants in the spring with heirloom vegetables. Their roses are spectacular.

I recently had 3 trees die in a span of 2 years: a white pine (rust), a weeping willow, and finally a Norway spruce (which was a replacement for the willow). That spruce died immediately. I have other spruces (from big box stores) in the same yard area that are thriving. They wouldn't honor replacing that spruce as you only get 1 shot with a warranty replacement. Frustrating to eat a sizeable amount of $$$ when they are providing poor quality trees, especially as a repeat customer. I gave them an extra star for their selection of fertilizers and stone/gravel.
