We drop by Moscarillo's several times each year, sometimes finding what we want at the right price,…read moresometimes not so much. This year not so much. A couple of things about this garden shop. First, it's much larger than you might think from the road. There are lots and lots of flowers, veggies and other garden items; no quarreling over the choices to be found here. And for the most part the staff has proven helpful. Mostly. Our main issue is over the prices -- this is not a shop for anyone operating on a budget. And in the spring of 2024, it's pretty expensive here to buy potting plants, perennials, hanging baskets, fertilizer, potting soil, vegetables and the like. You may legitimately argue over whether the likes of Home Depot and Lowes can match the quality here, but they certainly do better when it comes to pricing. Check it out -- you may disagree. But at least you have been cautioned.

This place is a lot bigger than it looks. We found the very hard to find Donkey Tail or Burrito succulents! We bought 2 of those, a String of Teardrop, and a tiny String of Pearls. I also found the most beautiful rain gauge there. They had a really nice selection of all landscaping plants and flowers, even a nice sized selection of houseplants. Everything in this store is well taken care of and healthy. Lastly, the prices were very reasonable. I can highly recommend this place.

Prices were slightly higher than what you'd find at a "Big Box store", like Lowe's, but you get personable & knowledgeable service at Litchfield Hills Nursery.

Follow the signs for parking in the back, which is a good amount of space. The outside has outdoor plants and trees, with a cow from an old art contest.

There's also a bar type room in back that was dark - maybe formally for paint and sipa? The cashier was really friendly, and answered questions for a plant novice like myself.

They had lots of tomato plants, peppers, cabbage, cukes and lettuce all reasonably priced. We passed on the budding flowers -- just too soon in the season, we think. But they had a lot of choices, so we'll be back in mid-May. We also like their indoor store; they have some fresh-grown tomatoes that are tasty and sell some very good locally grown canned and bottled products (try their apple sauce - really yummy). Good folks.

I went back the following day, September 30 2016 to find the same sign on the door. I called the number and the owner answered explaining he was a one man operation and was in and out all day. Again, fine. I explained what I needed and we agreed on 325.00 for a small excavator rental. He said he would have some time that afternoon, and he would call me later that same day to set up the delivery of the machine. So here I sit, October 3 2016 and never received a call back. Guess he's still busy. Will NEVER call there again, and will pass along the word to all of my friends. If I could give zero stars I would. Horrible experience.

A word of advice to Harwinton residents...DO NOT RENT a UHAUL moving truck from Randy at Hill Top…read moreEquipment. I rented a moving van and was invoiced $133 for a three hour time frame and an 18 mile trip. When I called the owner to inquire about the charges, I was told that he was unable to review the transaction and that I had to deal directly with UHAUL. UHAUL's customer service credited me for the $92 I was overcharged and apologized for their vendor. They also insisted that Hill Top owns that vehicle and he definitely should have reviewed the transaction (which he initiated and processed) and should have issued the credit directly. AGAIN, if you need a moving vehicle, go out of town for your rental needs!
