In all of my three years at Middlebury College, it never crossed my mind to have plants in my room…read moreto spruce things up, pun unintended. Now that I am in my final year at Middlebury, I have been convinced to hop onto the plant craze by my fellow First@Midd co-leaders, Alyssa and Itzel. They came here with me to buy plants because it's so close by (with a car) and there are so many options here. I guess another caveat to my prior situation is that I don't have a car nor did I have friends with consistent access to a car, not until this year that is. Now things have changed, and I have car-owner friends! The lady working here, Jeannie, is so sweet and helpful. She has two sons in college that also needed plants for their dorm rooms too. Relatable! She answered our questions so gracefully and humorously to boot. My questions included: "Which is the best plant for a new plant parent?" and "How much do I need to water this?" I'm kind of new to this plant parenting business, but also not really (I've killed too many indoor plants too many ways). I bought a spider aloe (the easiest succulent of the ones I picked out), a moss, and two more succulents (one for each of my suite mates to match my aloe). Inspired by Itzel's "I want a rainforest in my room," so too do I want my suite to be full of lush, green life, breathing oxygen into our lives. In the mean time, the plants here are a good place to start your plant collection. Indoor and outdoor plants, they got them here. I do wonder though what happens to their business during the dead of winter.

We were staying nearby in Bridport and took our puppy to the Middlebury dog park, where she got a…read morebit dirty. Being a fluffy chow chow, we wanted to avoid giving her a full bath & dry while on vacation, so I stopped in here to get some waterless shampoo. There was only one option, and one bottle left, so I had to take the plunge. Typically, a similar product costs anywhere from $4-8, but it was $13.50 at Agway, which was really disappointing. I thought about getting a bag of treats too, but the tiny bags were $8 and up. They have a huge storefront, and customer service was friendly, but I just can't get past the prices.

My 10 lbs. dog's life jacket broke and I was lucky enough to locate a replacement at Agway. I called and Mary was so patient and helpful. It was the 3rd store I had tried and was thrilled when she told me that they had a couple in stock. Drs. Fosters was going to take a week to get the replacement to us. I don't live here so it meant my dog being able to do water sports during our stay. Their prices were very reasonable too. Both Mary and the 2nd sales lady were kind to my paws child by asking first before giving him treats. [If you have a paws child - I'm sure you'll appreciate this] Agway had the largest selection of rubber boots at fabulous prices and gardening tools that were tempting.

We got there and they claimed that due to a scheduling issue the only place they could seat us was an extremely dirty section of lawn furniture that had zero views of the garden, but a perfect view of the kitchen and everybody else being seated at tables. In our area they literally brushed off dirt and debris on stained cushions in front of us, and expected us to sit there in our white linens which visibly stained my partner's pants. It turned out there were a number of tables that were available. It felt like we were being isolated into a colored section as people of color. They then had the audacity to ask for a full price and a sizable tip for a really awful experience. A place to avoid. Does not make the green book.
