I was looking for a black chokeberry shrub (aronia melanocarpa) that I was having trouble finding mail order. This place had it in a 1/2 gal. pot at only $9.99. The shrub was covered with leaves & blooms. I discovered a huge selection of healthy plants @ reasonable prices. I was only disappointed because I didn't have much time to look around & can't wait to return.

I returned 2 weeks later & still haven't been able to look at everything. This nursery has a large selection of tomato plants -- everything from heirlooms to hybrids; cherry to beefsteak. Many pepper plant varieties; hot to sweet. Healthy & reasonable. A large selection of potted herbs also. I bought a Big Rainbow tomato plant and 2 sweet banana peppers to fill in where my seed grown transplants failed. These are hardier than my own plants. With their convenient location, reasonable prices, healthy stock, and large selection, I may start with their plants next year and skip the whole winter indoor seed sowing routine. I love this place! I've changed my rating & I haven't even covered the flowers, topiary, & small fruit.
