Wow, they were bursting with so many gorgeous mums, asters, sunflowers, grasses, and many beautiful annuals for $6 , and some for as low as $3.99, that I could not resist!! I loaded up my car. Service was excellent, both staffers were so knowledgeable and helped me select the best plants and soil to use to give my gardens some attention this autumn!!! Nick carried everything to my car, thank you!! Great deals right now, so reasonably priced!! Go go go!! Now!! But all their plants and shrubs and soil!! I love the mission here.

They also have some novelty plants for gifting properly planted in an awesome style. Most of my heavy planters are still with me 15 years ago which shows quality product. They maintain their sept./oct. sale for planters and Christmas decor. Their staff are always helpful and respectful. They respect the community so they device their ways to maintain traffic flows on weekends.

Friendly service too.

Alsip Nursery is a fun place to visit--so much to see--such a variety. The variety is why I ended…read moreup here, knowing the prices would be a bit steep. It's not Wally World. However, after surfing the internet several times, the only place I could find locally to shop water plant containers was Alsip. I don't have a pond and a beginner with containers, but discovered it's next to impossible to find a container with appropriate width and depth for water plants. I finally found an employee I thought might help, but he was obviously disinterested and waved his hand to one aisle and swept across another for pots and tubs. When I tried to get information on the container I hoped might work, he just explained it was plastic (made to look like concrete). No information on the label--lucky to find the size. For the price, I hope it'll get through more than one season!

The market is great especially for the cider doughnuts that keep coming out fresh all day long. If you need pumpkins they have plenty of options from small to large and all colors orange to white. Definitely a place to check out during the month October every year.

We've been here a couple times, as a couple, and as a family with a baby. Overall, it's a great…read moreplace for a day's outing. General admission includes little rides, the animals, corn maze, and hay rides. This used to be a la carte, and for just adults it was great. There is no minimum age for children, so sadly we still paid to carry our baby. You can still shop at the farm market for pumpkins, gourds, apples, coffee, donuts, and corn without paying the general admission fee. However, BBQ food truck, chocolate dipped strawberries, and soft pretzels are only inside the gate. Pumpkins and hard squash in 2022 are $0.49/lb. Parking is plentiful and we enjoyed being in a small crowd at noon on Sunday. TL;DR: Good outing for families with grade school kids.

Note to self: Mapquest a business before eagerly purchasing Groupon - because the two hour round…read moretrip journey and darn near half-tank of gas used might just negate the fantastic value of said Groupon. Note #2 to self: Suck up the two hour round trip journey and darn near half-tank of gas used because holy moly, what a great nursery this was. I literally wandered around for close to three hours, and only deemed myself done because there was no more room on my cart for plants. Major score of $5 rosebushes from last year that lost their name tags. Baby perennials for $2.99 each. Lovely flowering shrub for $24.99 that was so large I could barely fit it into my car. Large pots of Gerbera daisies and premium annuals for... are you ready... $3.89. These easily go for $4.99 and higher at other nurseries. And a buck more might not seem like a lot until you realize you've got 20+ at check-out. Darn near half-tank of gas - covered. The employees were very friendly and helpful, too. Major points to the young guy who carried everything to my car and then gingerly fit everything into my trunk, back seat, and passenger seat. It wasn't easy, but he never stopped smiling.

I asked the guy standing by the register for one and he walked me over to them. The heavy duty one? he asked. No, I said, the light-duty version. He took it from the hanger and held it out toward me. Then I saw the price hanging right there in front of us both. SIX DOLLARS AND, LIKE, NINTY-SEVEN CENTS! For ONE?! (Disregard the website price, totally. In-store it's $6.97!) Wait, WHAT?! I told him there was NO WAY I would pay that much! and I left. I drove directly to a Home Depot. I bought TWO of them for $2.97 EACH! Even after taxes, I paid less for two than they wanted for just one and that's BEFORE taxes! On the drive back home, I promised myself I would NOT be installing one of those new switches until I first posted this review. Promise made, promise kept! Time to install my $2.97 switch now!
