I've been going here for years and I have never had a bad experience.
They specialize in Herbs. They have many varieties of Thyme, Mint, and Sage. Their Rosemary is exceptional. Since it's not hardy here in Z-6 it's a nice safety net to know I can get another wonderful plant when needed. They have it growing almost as topiary.
They have so many Geraniums!
I buy all my vegetable plants there (although I just got a greenhouse and maybe trying some myself). I have found luck with all of the different tomatoes varieties.
It's worth a trip just to walk through the many greenhouses and look at the the "residents". There is a HUGE Passaflora vine in the main greenhouse; I always check for a bloom. There are unusual succulents and generations old surprises tucked in different corners.
They have a quaint little giftshop where they sell dried flowers and potpouri...and WINE.
Their wine is excellent. It's made with Honey and not sugar so it has a unique flavor.
Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. It's a family business so I would rather spend my money there than at a big chain store.
Plants, Wine, Wimsy...What else do you need?
