Gardening is the greatest tonic and therapy a human being can have. Even if you have only a tiny piece of earth, you can create something beautiful, which we all have a great need for.

This nursery is one of my favorite places to shop. There is a decent variety of plants for the size of the place. There is a house that serves as a gift shop, and the deck and yard all around the house has plants. There are helpful signs marking perennials and annuals. Staff are very knowledgeable, and friendly too.
I was planting a winter window box for a friend and one of the employees went so far as to lay out plants on the ground in the configuration I would need for the planter, suggesting things that would work for the amount of light and that were hardy. We found the perfect balance of

This place has stuff the big box stores don't. They are very comparable with prices. They also give you a percentage off after a certain amount of visits. The lady that assisted me was super nice. I love coming back.

I don’t want want to sound like a know-it-all, but l have been gardening/ landscaping for over 30 years. And this is great place for all kinds of plants, trees, and shrubs. Very good prices and a better variety than Home Depot. And most importantly - the owner is very knowledgeable about her plant material. They carry a large assortment of Proven Winner plants. Which I prefer, but will buy non PW if they look good. All of their plants looked healthy and well cared for. The inside shop is far better than the average nursery shop. Great gift ideas and local items. I highly recommend stopping there
