Picked up my annuals from Ruhlig Farm & Gardens this year -- mostly petunias -- and out of the four…read moregreenhouses we visited around Metro Detroit, this one easily had the best selection. The greenhouse itself is huge, well organized, and surprisingly easy to shop despite how much they have. I'd honestly love to see what the selection looks like even earlier in May, though planting too early in Michigan always feels a little risky. Prices felt very fair too, especially compared to some of the hanging basket and planter prices at local markets and pop-ups. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to.

In addition, to renew the flower bed by removing existing gardening stones and soil, replace with rich new new gardening soil, install new plants & an ornamental tree, and place fresh mulch in the flower bed. As for the people that I dealt with, ALL were very nice to the individual. From the sales/scheduler/biller/facilitator, to the designer, and each member of the work crew. And the plants themselves were top notch (and all at full retail pricing). As for the rest (i.e.: the job itself, the quality of materials, quality the work, the attention to detail, communication with the customer and between management and the crew, professionalism, work ethic, follow-up, overall satisfaction with the experience, etc.), I'll refrain from posting the 500 word review that I wrote, and let the rating speak for itself. Simply put, the experience was not what I had expected from a company with a 30 year history in the community. None of this should come as a surprise, as there were issues at every stage. Again...Nice people (the reason for a 3 star, versus a 2 star review). Maybe I just caught them on the wrong year/decade.

I guy at work suggested that I start my snowblower on Labor Day every year. I told him it was a…read moregreat idea, and then forgot to do it. So, first big snowfall of the year, and my snowblower wouldn't start. I actually went to two other places first: both of them were supposed to be open on this nightmarishly cold day (-3 F high!!) and neither was. So, I drove quite a distance to get here. The last time I had my snowblower repaired (last year... I know, I don't learn) been around for a long time it was after a horrible snowstorm, and it took a different place three weeks. This place was done in one week. That doesn't sound fast, but considering the circumstances, it was very fast. And, the price was very reasonable. When I asked what all the services were, the salesman was very happy to explain them to me and answer any questions. This place is a long drive for me, but I would say it's worth a return trip if I ever need anything like this again.

This place is a gem. I'm all about the people and…read moresupporting the local guy when I can. This store makes that possible more than not because the items that are a couple bucks more than say Amazon for example are light-years ahead in quality. Really make shopping here for most things a no-brainier. Brian, Adam and the crew here are always friendly and welcoming. They just as soon talk about your grow for 30 minutes and look at your baby pictures than sell a product and it has that no-pressure feel that makes spending money in places like that very easy. Easy because you know the guys are giving you sound advice. Admittedly, I do not use the base nutrient lines offered at the store, but I do not have anything against them. Heavy 16 has shown it's a great product no question. I do however like the variety in accessories, media, and a great selection of odds and ends to keep the mom's happy like Kelp teas prepackaged and ready to brew. They offer all the great microbial inoculates and boosters. One cool thing to see was fans, duct-work and filters. As well a range of Co2 options. All that being said, I would have liked to see some new "real" LED Tech like HLG or ChilLED. I understand it is hard to keep up with a market that changes so quickly but I am pretty confident anything built with Samsung Quantum Boards will be relevant for at least 2-3 years from sales. In Reality they will remain relevant for 10,000 hours of operation and while maybe more efficient lights will come and go but these true deal lights will still be producing some killer. Especially considering that we are still using HPS lamps.

I knew it wasn't a good sign when I had to contact them twice to get them to my house and then the day of the estimate they seemed a bit confused as to whether I was waiting for them to come do an estimate or to deliver dirt,sod, etc. When she finally showed up an hour or more late she really didn't seem very interested and after talking to her for maybe 5 minutes she said she was going to take a few pictures,measure and would send me an email with the quote. I never saw her take pictures or measure?? I am still waiting for that quote Sherri...NOT..I have had multiple other estimates from people that know how to do business, but thanks anyway. Don't waste your time with them if you want a job like this done.

In all fairness, their posts on another site warned we might have to take an alternate route, but my friend and I still managed to drive in circles a bit before finally finding the huge sign out front! But, that's ok-Trenton is a cute little town so we enjoyed the unintentional exploring. We expected the store footprint to be a little larger, but there were still plenty of things to look at and choose from. Metalwork dominates. There was a flock of hot pink metal flamingos, huge multi-colored roosters and bright red cardinals on wire hangers and metal stakes. There were enormous sunflowers, wind chimes and rock sculptures. And lots more. The back room had some vintage items including a couple of ladders that would be great for hanging quilts. According to the very nice gentleman behind the counter, they are usually open spring - Christmas and the stock changes as they sell out and replace with new merchandise. Around the holidays it becomes a big gift shop. If you are in the area, it is worth a stop. My advice would be to pair it with lunch and a visit to some of the shops along W. Jefferson downtown and make a day of it. You won't get dirty at The Dirty Hoe, but neither will you have to work hard to have a good time. Overalls not required.
