I believe the ferns I purchased there in May were infested with a frond eating caterpillar. After speaking with helpful staff, I learned they had an effective spray. I drove from Burlington, purchased the spray for $21.99 and a small spray bottle. I later learned the same spray, 32 ounces, was available at ACE hardware for $14.99. And the small spray bottle doesn't spray. An unfortunate experience at a business I've frequented for years. I will explore options closer to home.

Honestly, I feel like a good ol' fashioned flower shop is hard to find!…read more Well... i found one! Peck's flower shop take a lot of pride in being a local Vermont flower shop. The service is friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the products are beautiful. I feel like most flower shops now a days have inflated prices and aren't very interested in really giving you a quality product unless you're spending a lot of money (and the flowers are over priced). Aren't flowers meant to make people happy... and generally flower shops are opened by people who want to share that?! At least Peck's has kept to this standard. They're more than happy to make you a fresh little "thank you" bouquet, to the over the top "i love you" rose bouquet... each with equal amount of care and character. Emily is a treat to work with, she's down to earth, and friendly. She'll work with you to put together a nice little bouquet you're picking up on the way home from work or something specific for an occasion. My review, comes with specific wedding flower experience. This can especially be a hard time, where the simple word 'wedding' increases price and stress. Not here, you tell them what you're looking for, no matter the vagueness of your vision or down to the specifics you have dreamed of, they can do it... and they make it an enjoyable experience! For any flower occasion, i would not go anywhere else, nor would I send anyone elsewhere. Peck's is a great little flower shop for all your floral needs!

I've lived in the Islands for two years now so when gardening fever hit, I wanted to check out…read more all of my local options. I attempted to go to Canamak Farms 3 times and found lots of plants but no people. The first 2 times I couldn't find an "Open" sign Or a sign with their hours of operation. (My Visits were between noon and 4:30 pm. Weekdays) On my third visit I found a chain across the front of the building with a "closed" sign showing hours (open until 5:00pm), it was 4:30. I also tried reaching Canamak Farms by phone twice. I left two detailed phone messages, both times asking for a call back.... Nothing. On my fourth and final visit, Success! They were open. The plant selection was ok, not a great variety of herbs. (Peppermint) and the woman working didn't know that it was different from plain Mint. I saw 3 other plants I was interested in but they had no markers. Again I asked the woman working, she didn't know . (Italian or yellow squash). She moved things around then told me yellow squash. (They turned out to be zucchini.) Not great plants, high now 2 months later, the plant I got are 50% at best. Sweet peppers had small flowers that grew to 1 1/2" peppers then simply hung there and got soft, compost. The sun gold plants were leggy when I got them and have grown some with minimal yield. Overall, I'm disappointed with their unprofessional business practices. (Couldn't even return my call, customer service is important). I understand that "hours of operation"is loosely based, it's hard work they do. Their huge SALE SIGN was the biggest thing about their sale. They offer soil, mulch, compost but only in bulk and for delivery. Neither was what I needed. Ill go back only in a pinch. Big bummer. I support local businesses not this one.

White's has a great selection of trees and we've been going there almost every year, except for the…read moreyears they closed before we got our tree or were traveling for Christmas. We've never had a complaint before, but, this year we, unfortunately, got charged for an 8 foot tree when ours turned out to be barely over 7 feet. I wasn't thinking about it when I paid for it until on the way home my husband was upset that I paid more and said there was no way that tree was 8 feet. When we set it up at home it's at least 4" from our less than 8 ft ceilings and that's in the tree stand that raises it a couple inches. So we paid $10 more for our tree. I don't know if that is a complaint about service since they hand you a little plastic slip that shows what to pay and I didn't see a color coded price sheet, and, it was partly my fault for having a conversation with the clerk while paying and not realizing the price was over what it should have been. They do a nice job of shaking trees, wrapping trees, helping put them in the car and have a nice "assembly line" for doing so. If White's are reading this, I would love it if you would put that extra $10 in the Camp TaKumTa jar. I have often supported that camp in memory of my little sister who died from leukemia. Thanks!

I love this place for getting a Christmas Tree and will go here every year!…read more This is a "cut your own tree" farm. The 5 stars assumes you want to cut your own tree - if not, you may get a surprise when you find that there are not any precut trees. Bob and Joan White own the farm. When you arrive, they will ask you if you have a saw - you're greeted when you drive in. We didn't and they gave us a nice, sharp, easy to use saw. The trees are organized by type on the farm. If you don't know what type of tree you want, you can drive around or you can ask for suggestions. The pathways to drive through are farm ground, but well maintained, so there is no worries about getting stuck. I wanted a Frazier Fur tree (the best tree for looks and holding it's needles in my opinion. The best tree all around.) I asked for the Fraziers and was pointed to the left. We drove around looking. We found a good patch of trees and got out to walk. My wife spotted our tree. It was perfect. I cut 'er down. I could have put it on our vehicle, but I thought it best to take my prize and carry it back to the barn. At the barn, they shake the tree, wrap it and help put it on your car (we have an SUV) and tie it down. Inside you get free hot chocolate. We bought our 2010 ornament - hand made in Vermont - and some maple candies to share with out of state family. The people are nice and very helpful. This was a picturesque family day driving to the country to get our family Christmas tree.

I went into the store and was greeted by Katilyn. I asked her for help in planning this surprise. We sat at one of the tables they have there and she helped me select the piece that I ended up buying and then she helped me plan out the surprise. I had brought in some jewelry that needed repair work so we planned the surprise to coincide with the the point in time when the repaired items were ready for pick up. It all came together as planned and my wife was so surprised, she did not expect it at all. On top of the staffs help with this, the store is amazing in its set up, look and feel as you enter it, the baby grand piano playing softly in the background, the overall ambiance of this place is something else. If you want to create a special surprise for your significant other this is the place I would recommend and from my experience the staff will help you make it extra special. Thank you Perrywinkle's.

Such a cute little spot that's a relatively recent add to the city hall/church street area. Was…read moregiven this experience as a gift and was so excited! They offer painting and mosaics! I've been to a paint-your-own pottery shop before but never a mosaic option! How cool! They have several premade pottery options, with lots of paint colors if you come to paint. For the mosaics they have pre created options that you tile. I was hoping for a circle option that resembled a garden stone but they were out at the time of my visit- not a negative thing at all as I totally understand that- but more so as a thought to plan ahead! I would suggest calling to see if they have the shape you are looking to mosaic before coming in. The only thing I would suggest for the space is to have more options that are not animal shaped to mosaic, as that would cater to the adult crowd more. I went with the heart mirror option and was excited to get to work! They have a wall of different colored shapes and sizes of colored tiles. I was given a tin to select a handful of colors to help separate. I am visiting family here and decided to do a VT sunset with their mountains as my inspo. The turn around time was quick! They were able to grout it for me (for an upcharge) and it was done and ready for pick up the next day! The ladies working were so sweet and helpful, explaining everything for me and checked in regularly on how the process was going. What a great reminder of family and my trip this year! They offer reservations online, you can also call in to book a reservation, and they do walk-ins as well. Lots of tables but I would recommend a reservation (esp with a larger group) to ensure you have a spot to sit to create!
