They have some good plants and vegetables. On the downside they sells plants that won't grow in this area.

This brand new Farmer's Market is a replacement for the old one that used to be at the Village Hall…read more(see https://www.yelp.com/biz/orland-park-farmers-market-orland-park?osq=farmers+market). This new Market has longer hours and a more expansive location to make it easier for people to attend. It is now located at the 143rd METRA Station in Orland Park...roughly one block west of LaGrange Road at 142nd Street. The Market is held on Thursdays only...from May 25 to August 31. Hours are from 4pm to 8pm. If you happened to be a METRA rider, you will find the Market as soon as you jump off the train at night. Besides adding some live entertainment at this location, the number of vendors is expected to grow substantially as customers find the site. Right now there are about two dozen vendors. The vendors are much like those that were visiting the old Farmer's Market, but this location will eventually attract many additional vendors. Food and food trucks, notions, candles, honey, fresh fruit and vegetables, and many Orland Park businesses are here. For example, the University of Chicago medical people are represented ... even more so because they have a new four story facility just a couple hundred feet away. This new Market is worth trying...it is just one more example of the Village trying to upgrade its offerings to the public. Recommended.

Found out about this little street fair when an ad for it jumped up on Facebook. Since it was…read moreFriday and we were up for a trip, we took a ride over to Homewood ... and were we pleased. We guess that Homewood - which has a lot of activities and street fairs during the year - hasn't had one in over a year and is just now getting back into the swing. This Homewood Artisan Market seems to be their first post-pandemic event. The Artisan Market is located just a short walk from downtown Homewood and the Illinois Central trains - at Martin Avenue and Hickory Road. There was loads of available street parking and city parking lots. The Market is only on this Friday June 4 (Noon to 6 pm) and Saturday June 5 (10 am to 6 pm). We stopped in right after it opened, and there were between 30 and 50 booths already set up and it looked liked the Market was going to be a big success. The Homewood Artisan Market is free and open to the public, has a nice attention to pandemic safety issues, has good security, and wide open streets to browse the booths. They also had a very big booth with good street food and a broad tented area with picnic tables for sitting down to eat. Since the Artisan Market is set up on a sort of cross-shaped area formed by Martin and Hickory, we include four views of the booths corresponding to the four areas of the cross. Once again, since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few thousand words ... . Highly recommended.

Plants, produce, etc. are not my thing. Not at all. I have no idea what I am looking at, what it…read moredoes, how it does it, when it does it. I went to another place nearby and was resolved to buy plastic plants. I wish I remembered the name of the two people who helped me. In fact, I will go back soon to make a point of getting their names so I can post them. Two people with more patience than I have ever seen in my life. When I walked in the place was jammed so my first thought was come back later. As I turned to leave a guy says hey, what are you looking for. I explained I wanted to do some indoor hot peppers, some tomato plants, etc. and I don't have a back yard just a deck. In five minutes I was set and ready. Second visit last week was to get some potting soil, and to scope out whether I can grow tomatillos and maybe some tomatoes indoor. Again, packed, and again, helped within a minute or two. As I was leaving I saw the produce and it looked really fresh. I took home a half dozen ears of corn, two dozen tomatoes, hot banana peppers, and a couple of jalapenos. As I was picking stuff out there was an employee stocking. She asked what the tomatoes were for. I explained I was making a marinara. She said the tomatoes I had were ok, but then showed me to the plum tomatoes, showed me how to pick the best sauce tomatoes, and then taught me a trick to peel the skin. I thanked her, and as I was checking out she brought up a beautiful sweet onion and a bulb of garlic and asked if I forgot these. I did. The cashier explained a genius way to make the garlic less pungent and then I was on my way. Oh, and the price was surreal low. When I got home I tried the corn. Amazing. If nothing else stock up on corn here. The onion was amazing. Almost better than vidalia grown onions in terms of sweetness and taste. I couldnt believe how little my produce cost so on the way home I stopped at a supermarket. I bought corn, tomatoes, onions, green sweet peppers, hot banana peppers, and garlic, all picked that day, for one third the price at a supermarket. Other businesses could learn from this store. These are good people. People who take the time to teach their customers, help their customers, and make sure their customers come back. all the while selling good produce and plants at low prices.

I really did love the garden center. They had a decent selection and were convenient. I will…read morenever visit them again because they moved to Indiana. It saddens me.
