With the onset of fall comes the barrage of pumpkins. If you're hankering to pick your own, head on…read moreover to Farmer in the Dell Pumpkin Patch out on Wire Road. Well, it's closed now for the season but keep this in mind for next year. This family-owned and family-friendly farm is a quick drive from town. Besides families, it also seems popular with college students and couples. Parking is easy and admission is $2 which isn't bad for what you get: access to several pumpkin patches, the corn maze, sunflower picking, farm animal viewing/petting, tractor rides, and amusements for kiddies including a game where you see who can pump water the fastest to float a rubber duckie down a slide. Yes, I had too much fun playing this duck race. I saw hot dogs and lemonade for sale, but nothing pumpkin-related such as pie. I think an opportunity is being missed! Local honey is available for purchase too which is cool. The pumpkins aren't cheap, but then again, you're paying for an experience. I recommend bringing your own shears if you have them since the patch might be all out. The big pumpkins are already detached from the vines but if you want a smaller one, you'll have to snip it yourself. Also, it sounds like Farmer in the Dell will be offering pre-cut Christmas trees during the holidays and will be having peaches next year, so it's not just squashes. Now I have that nursery rhyme in my head. Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer in the dell [pumpkin patch]!

They also have swings, a mechanical bull to ride, and a haunted house at night time. Plenty for everyone to do at all ages. Definitely worth the price of admission.

My wife and I arrived on a warm October day to enjoy the pumpkin patch and U-pick flowers. We arrived in the afternoon, but there was plenty of selection and nothing was "picked over." I paid $16 for a quart sized plastic vase for my U-pick flowers. They sell gallon sized buckets as well. Scissors and water are provided. Be mindful of bees in the field. They won't trouble you if you don't trouble them. There is an area in the back for you to arrange the flowers; I took full advantage of this because this trip doubled as a photo shoot. There were all types of people enjoying the farm; IG girls, families, even one couple using a wagon full of pumpkins as a baby announcement. Pumpkins range from $5-$20 each depending on size and breed. A nice young man named Luke helped us corral our pumpkins and carry them to our car. I didn't know they offered that service, but we tipped well. If you run up an appetite, they have a snack bar with fritters, ice cream, and lemonade. I'll be back next fall!

The farm is open for business. Fresh, clean, friendly service. Beautifully fresh strawberries.read more

I went to Bloomers in Midtown for the first time today. I can not say enough about their staff…read more They were so amazingly friendly and approachable. I was only there for one plant but, during my short time there, I was approached and helped by three of the staff. They were very knowledgeable and knew the various locations they had placed their white fusion plants so I could compare and pick the best one. They also immediately had an answer on whether they had a planter I wanted (sadly sold out) and when it would come in. I am definitely looking forward to coming back when they have restocked their unique planters. If you love plants and love supporting local businesses, this is the nursery to go! They have a very active facebook page so it's easy to keep up with when they have restocked on items or have gotten their hands on some beautifully unique plants. They even post the prices! I went into their shop knowing exactly what I wanted and how much those items would cost. I personally dislike driving all the way to a new store and getting hit with sticker shock so I appreciate the effort they put into their facebook page. The only thing I can say that I did not enjoy about my experience there was that it was not really set up to make customers feel safe during the pandemic. There were no masks being worn, no hand sanitizer available for guests, and my purchase with a debit/credit card required me to sign a touchscreen that everyone else had touched. It made me uncomfortable both for myself and for the lovely staff whom I would not want to get sick while they provide these plants for all the people who love plants or who have been swept up with pandemic gardening.

I had some time to look around, inside and outside in the greenhouse, and I saw a lot of decorative items, like statuaries, bird baths and seasonal items that are unique. I'm a fan of plants and flowers that aren't found at every other store so I will go back to do some major shopping when it gets closer to spring. This is not part of a retail chain and is locally owned and oby the owners themselves and I prefer to "shop local" and give them my business. So sad to see this nursery has closed. I wish the owners much success in their next venture.

It's one of those places where you never know what you're going to find, so it's always exciting to "hunt". This Opelika, AL store is the only Ollie's I've ever been to.

I've gotten some really good deals on some things there. I don't get to go to the store much any more because of my schedule. I wish that you could order things on their website.
