Hi Sarv
Its me,Sheri, from Freeport!
Anyhow, I took a morning to hang out at Creekside, and I brought my list of wishes with me.

The only plant I could find was one that was sick and the gal there gave it to me for free to nurse it. Its a doublefile viburnam.

The selection was not that great yet. Maybe later on in June I will try again. all i saw was the usual flats of violas, verbenum, pansys, allysum YAWN.

The roses were typical run of the mill, a little of each colour. I guess you have to supply what the local gardener wants if you are going to stay in business.

They did have a nice selection of vegies ready to pop into the ground, if we can ever not have a freeze at night already!

I did find all the help friendly and attentive, a nice family atmosphere. I remember the old days, of garden centers with all the weird and named varieties. Guess thats what I was comparing it with.

Isn't WaveCrest or whatever it is out in Saugatuck a old fashioned more plant specific named varieties garden center?

any how, I will keep poking around. Have you been to the one in Lowell?
