    I come here every year to plant my vegetable garden. Whether or not you're into the organic food…read moremovement or not, you cannot beat mulberry creeks selection or prices. You'll be blown away how many varieties of something as simple as basil there are. Seriously, even if you don't care about organic vs conventional plants stop by. The people are wonderful and the property is so whimsical and beautiful. Aside from herbs, they also have a huge selection of vegetables and succulents. They host a ton of events throughout the summer and offer a CSA program. Saturday's 9-1 (as of 2016) is a farmers market in the barn. The herb fair is usually in late June and hosts local vendors (jewelry, honey, soaps, antiques). Also bring bread to feed the chickens or peacocks if you'd like. As you can tell I kinda love this place and love stopping in when I'm in town.

    What a wonderful service these folks are doing for the world by cultivating and making available…read moresuch a wonderful range of plants. Not only can you find many varieties of any herb you desire but you can also find more miniature varieties than anywhere on earth. The display gardens both potted and in ground are so inspiring. I make a trip up every year from Dayton just to buy plants from this nursery. And it is well worth the trip. If you are driving through the area and want to get your plant on you will not be sorry that you stopped here.

    This is a long delayed review as I actually visited Quintealia's a few months ago with a large…read moregroup of foodie-focused friends, but better late than never! Overall, I am glad that a couple dozen of us were able to support this local, independent business, especially since the owner herself stopped by to greet us all one by one and give us a short history lesson of the historic building/former home (formerly owned by wealthy local man, George Ford) and the business itself! The recipies are from the owner's grandmother, whose name is actually Quintilia! As part of our tea party package, we had: -Hibiscus berry tea -Cinnamon orange spice tea -Tomato tortelini soup -Petit fours -Homemade scones -4 half sandwiches and 6 bite size desserts Imo, the best dessert was a small lemon tart! In all honesty, everything was very good! I would recommend adding a small salad to the line up, however. Also, make sure to call ahead of time to buy scones to go! There is, of course, a cute gift shop is on the 2nd floor. I didn't buy anything this time. I spent some time looking around the inside as every room is decorated differently. So in all, my bill came to $51 total with tax and tip. Most of us had leftovers to bring home - i did not. Make sure to call ahead for reservations!

    We came here on a whim for some holiday tea and were delighted! The tea selection is plentiful, and…read morethey have a nice menu complete with your regular tea fixings (sandwiches and award winning scones), plus two cottage pies (one beef and one chicken). The owner took the time to share some interesting information about the location, namely its history as a mansion and the background of the name. It felt like stepping back in time. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Burton!
