It has become a holiday tradition to make the trek from Chicago to Kolzes Corner Gardens in…read moreWoodstock, Illinois. And why you ask? They grow and sell ten varieties of the most beautiful, long-lasting, and unique poinsettias that you can find in northern Illinois. And this year, they offered a lovely, double-petaled variety that is upright and almost looks like a rose. The people are friendly, the greenhouse is big and beautiful, and they sell Christmas trees, greenery, wreaths and other holiday trimmings. It's a wonderful place out in the country. Yes, you can probably get bigger poinsettias at a big box store like Home Depot, but they will not last as long or be as special. And after your done at Kolzes, drive a bit north and stop in at Woodstock's downtown square. It's really beautiful, and it was where the movie Groundhog Day was filmed. It's a Duesy! From what I see not their website, I am sure that Kolzes is great during other seasons, too. I just love supporting small, family-owned businesses.

There is a huge selection of flowers, shrubs, herbs, everything that you're looking for. We were looking for shrubs to use as a living fence. We went around to several nurseries, Home Depots, and Menards but we ultimately purchased a large order of viburnum from S & S because of their price, the health of their plants, and their one year warranty.

Back in 2021 I purchased 30 7 foot Emerald Arborvitae's from Arbor Vista Nursery. I had the…read moreopportunity to interact with the owner who was extremely helpful in picking out trees for a privacy screen for our home in Whitewater. The trees were delivered the following week and we planted them the next day. Over the course of 2021 we watered the trees twice a week. Unfortunately, in the fall of 2021 most of the trees started to brown. One of the trees died over the winter and when we contacted Arbor Vista Nursery they suggested a fertilizer stick and for us to continue watering to reverse the browning. They indicated they would replace the tree for $100. Over the course of the summer of 2022 6 additional trees died. Fast forward to the Spring of 2023, we have 7 dead trees, followed the instructions of Arbor Vista Nursery and they want to charge us 40% more per tree for two foot shorter trees. I feel let down considering we followed their advice, that some of the trees were diseased and started browning since we purchased them at that we are being taken advantage of to replace them. They were extremely unhelpful in resolving our concerns and I found several other reputable nurseries that our selling their same product for cheaper. Recommend purchasing elsewere.
