With winter coming soon we've been looking for a good place where we can pick up 1/2 to a full cord of word from because having it delivered is waaaaayyy too expensive. When I called them to get prices, I spoke with a very nice lady that told me a full cord is $499 & a 1/2 cord is $399. It still seemed a little steep to me if I figured in about $80 to rent a truck to pick it all up in, but I was pleasantly surprised. If I paid for a full cord, I could then pick it up in 1/4 cord increments! That basically saves me $100 more than if I even had got it somewhere else!!!

My sister told me about Blue Stem a few months ago and I drove to their site and chatted with Kristen Nicholson, one of the co-owners, who answered a lot of my questions and provided me with a very detailed plan to augment the pollinator attractiveness of my garden. My guess is that I learned much more from her in about 2 hours than in all my previous efforts combined. The nursery has all the plants one would ever want to attract native pollinator species and buying from Blue Stem is the way to a healthier garden, indeed a healthier planet.

This place has a great selection of flowers, vegetable and herb starts which is the primary reason…read morewe come here every early spring. But they also sell a wide variety of bushes, shrubs, some trees, hanging plants, hay, fertilizers, plant foods and decor for your garden. As far as I know, there is no "guarantee" on any of the plants, trees, shrubs, etc here such as there is at place like Lowe's or Home Depot so that should be a factor in determining what you buy here. For most things, the prices tend to be on the high side although the vegetable starts we buy are in the ballpark. They do have some beautiful garden decor like chimes, birdbaths, and the like but these are on the high end. I saw a lovely stone cairn but it was priced ridiculously high for what it was and despite its loveliness I walked away. I wish there were more employees roaming around looking to see who might need assistance. I know it's very busy for them especially during the spring but to have a few dedicated people available to help shoppers would be welcome. We have had to wander about to track staff down if we have a question. Parking can be tight in high planting season so I recommend going early. I will say that despite the ridiculous and extended heat wave we had this summer, our tomatoes have really been going strong. I picked another basketful just yesterday morning and will go out there shortly to see what I have today. We also had an abundance of zucchini and I was thrilled to have lots and lots of zucchini flowers because I love to stuff and fry those. (If you've not eaten stuffed zucchini flowers you are missing a treat and it's worth planting zucchini if just for the flowers). We also had bumper crop of cucumbers coming from just 3 plants. I am thrilled we didn't plant any more! As it is, the neighbors were probably hiding from us worried that we were bringing more over. Three of the tomato starts seemed to whither and die early on even before the heatwave so it's not clear whether that was because the plant starts weren't healthy, our planting error or just the luck of the draw. Overall, with lots of effort on our parts (which is par for the course with gardening) we did well with the plant starts we bought here.

One fair warning, hire your own landscapers for any installation. Their fly by night crew does sub par work, places piles of dirt in random places on your property, leaves large rocks in your grass, and charges a wild amount of money. No joke, more money than professional landscape crews. Felt a bit taken by this and likely won't return again.
