The Best Nursery Experience in Maine - Hands Down!…read more We were driving through town when we spotted the name "Bushes Bushes" and couldn't help but chuckle--so of course we had to pull in. What we found was far more than expected! This nursery is a hidden gem with an incredible selection of plants, trees, and garden goods--all at extremely reasonable prices. We've now been back three times, and each visit has been better than the last. Today we had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Nancy and Ed, and they are wonderful. Incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their entire team is just as friendly and helpful. They even had a fantastic Father's Day special--25% off fruit trees and fruit plants--which made our visit even sweeter. Thanks to them, we found the perfect additions for our garden, and this place has officially become part of our Sunday routine whenever we're in town. If you're anywhere near the Richmond area, Bushes Bushes is an absolute must-stop. And if you're looking for a great cup of coffee afterward, swing by Morning Moose Coffee--we'll be sure to match the top-notch hospitality Nancy and Ed showed us! Thank you again to the amazing crew at Bushes Bushes--we'll definitely be back!

Due to that started following their social media and thanks to being close by we had no excuse not to stop by! So thankful we did! A perfect addition to the Lewiston downtown. The owner was so friendly and helpful, especially when I asked for plants that are easier to keep alive. Neither my wife or I have great luck with plants despite enjoying plants. He showed us all his thoughts of plants that fit the bill of what we were looking for! You could tell as soon as he stood up and started showing us the plants how passionate he was about his business! I can only imagine the vast amount of plant knowledge you could learn from talking to him! He also shared with us the type of plant his grandmother shared with him that started his passion and journey that in the end lead to Garden of Via becoming a reality. Prices for the plants seemed very reasonable and would recommend checking this place out. We ended up grabbing an air plant, that before coming here were unaware they were a thing. Look forward to seeing how big this business becomes! A true passion project that deserves all of the support from customers!

I think a few summers ago the girl who worked there told me every fresh item they sold is from Maine except the potatoes, which were from PEI. I wish the maple syrup and canned items were a little more local to Wales, but at least they are from Maine. My niece loved seeing the goats and chickens. Their fresh corn on the cob is the best around.

Labels on plants were also incorrect some instances.

Probably wouldn't come back.

The…read moreprices are a bit intimidating, but I assure you it is well worth the cost for the enormous amounts of fresh produce. Every week, I read the little farmer's blog and checked out the recipes and what the week's bounty would be. I did lots of stewing, canning, salad making and savoring. In addition to the weekly pickups, there is a free pick your own flower garden, which was a lovely treat. There is also pick your own tomatillos, herbs and cherry tomatoes. There are pick your own strawberries, which store bought cant even come close to. These sweet berries melt in your mouth and make tasty jams and pie. There is also products available for purchase that change with the months, fresh baked goodies, milk, eggs, cider, berries. I made my own tomatoe sauce from scratch with my abundance of tomatoes. I also canned lots and lots of pickles and dilly beans. I also got to try new veggies I was unfamiliar with, hello kohl rabi and poc choi. There are also holiday and winter shares, as well as beef and pork. This farm share is absolutely excellent.

The one thing I miss the most about moving to Portland is Little Ridge Farm, where I had a CSA for…read morearound four years. There was nothing I didn't love about Keena Tracy's farm or the awesome CSA's she offered. Back when I was participating, I would get the full harvest share which is more than enough for two vegetarians! Each week we'd come to her stand and pick up however many pounds we were allotted that week (usually along with other complimentary goodies like apple cider, pumpkins, or corn). I have heard that CSA's from other Maine farms don't follow this same structure - that they pick and choose what each person gets. I liked the freedom of being able to load up on all the cucumbers and tomatoes, kohl rabi and sorrel (both of which I discovered BECAUSE of Little Ridge), edamame and spaghetti squash I wanted while I watched others get pounds upon pounds of garlic scapes and pac choi. As a shareholder I also had access to the pick-your-own garden with flowers, herbs, cherry tomatoes, and tomatillos. We also had the ability to pick raspberries and strawberries at a discounted price; there was also fresh bread and cheese for sale as well. And we were always invited to romp around her property exploring the fields, saying hello to the pigs and turkeys, or even volunteering some of our time helping out in exchange for a discount on our CSA. Keena also offers a Thanksgiving Share and a Holiday Share (both of which include about thirty pounds of your choice from things like onions, sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, beets, garlic, spinach, and sometimes apples, bags of cranberries, or EXTREMELY delicious potato rolls), and a Winter Share as well. For carnivores, there are also pork, beef, and turkey shares which I know very little about (except that people seemed to love them). Little Ridge does an exceptional job at simply growing organic (they pride themselves on not using hormones, antibiotics, cages, or chemicals) with a keen eye on both environmental and animal health as well. After writing all of this, I believe I've made a grave mistake not continuing my CSA here - what's a forty minute drive for the best produce you've ever had, right?
