I've flipped 5 houses in Chester County over the last 30 years and just moved into my 6th…read more Landscaping is a big part of what I invest in as I both enjoy it - and I live in the houses as I renovate so I want them to look nice. As a result, I've been to most every gardening place from East Earl, PA to Phoenixville to the old Agway outside West Chester to Malvern - you get the idea. I first started going to mainline gardens about 6 years ago. They had decent pots, expensive, but nice. Then I started buying plants there (mostly annuals for said pots) and they were nice enough. Now I would normally go on weekdays so I was dealing with the core crew and not the weekend staff. This spring I've been there twice (once in April and once in May) looking specifically for small perennials with varying sunlight requirements. This is the first time I've ever visited this nursery looking at things through that lens and it was beyond disappointing. The weekend staff are probably largely college aged and know absolutely nothing about the plants. They have a covered area in the back where one would assume the shade loving plants would be kept, but nope - it's a complete hodgepodge of anything from full sun to shade and seemingly no rhyme or reason to how it's organized. Yesterday I went to find a Japanese maple. All of their trees and shrubs are in full sun. Some are marked with explanatory tags that tell you about the plant, but just as many are not. I found the perfect red maple, in full sun, and stupidly assumed it was therefor a full sun plant. It isn't. So I spent $200 on a tree that won't work for where I bought it because they have no organization for their plants around sun requirements. So the take-a-way on this is - don't expect knowledgeable staff on the weekend. Don't assume they're doing any intentional placement of their inventory and go in prepared to look things up on your phone as needed. The reason I gave them 2 stars, is that in comparison to every other nursery I go to - they arrange things according to sun requirements. Shade plants are kept under cover and full sun are not. So, caveat emptor.

I have been driving by the Arlington Cemetery in Drexel Hill all my life. Over the decades I had…read moreheard about a florist, a greenhouse in the cemetery and had thought it was just part of their operations. Then, a few years ago, FDC heard that they sold beautiful Christmas wreaths and such. Still, we never went to check it out ... until yesterday. I decided on my way back from Lansdowne to turn left and see. I'm so glad I did. This is a beautiful old greenhouse, slightly leaky in the rain, and even on a dreary day it was beautiful in an unpretentious way. I was greeted warmly, where they apologized for the puddles and gave me a quick layout - perennials here, succulents and potted plants there, fairy gardens, and perennials out back. There was so much color! I took my time, looking at the vegetable plants and petunias and aloe. Everything was so healthy and, well, green. There were touches of whimsy, fun little scenes along one wall of the greenhouses, including one of Excalibur. Love it! I found a nice spider plant, just the right size for my living room shelves, and some gorgeous double bloom geraniums for my front pots. As for the cost? Really reasonable. The geraniums were $6, and the potted spider plant was $19. Pretty good deal! Parking is along the cemetery lane, please park along one side so others can pass by. As it has started to rain more heavily I didn't see the perennials & shrubbery. I'll definitely be back.

The guy who checked me out was so easy and friendly, even helped me to my car. I love to support independent businesses like this, and can't wait to go back in a few weeks to load up for spring.
