This is how many of the autumn blooms Amherst has every fall. Add the uncountable loads of other flower and plants in spring and it's a Mecca for garden buffs. Calling a place a Mecca is cliche, old hat, probably overused on Yelp. But the metaphor absolutely fits this greenhouse. First they have five full acres under roof. Secondly, it will take a pilgrimage to get there, for it's way out in the rural plains south of Lima. Just go to the middle of nowhere, take a left to bum F Egypt, head towards the boondocks of the sticks, and you'll be halfway there. It is off the narrow Allen county road of Amherst in-between State route 196 and 117. In fact the biggest neg is the traffic jam on the undeveloped street that occurs in the spring when the highly popular greenhouse attracts gardeners from all over the state. Turning in its gravel lane showcases a lovely maintained house beside a sparkling pond and manicured flower patches. Towering above are the greenhouses that seems to go on endlessly. Here a abundant choices grow under what could be miles of sprinklers, and miles of piping with plotted plants hanging down. The selection is a eye-popping plane of annuals, perennials, and veggies. Shrubs, bushes, trees, and a few rustic wooden garden decor round out their Jupiter size enclosures. They are open seasonally: April until late spring/ summer. Then they open up again in the fall selling the previously mentioned mums with pumpkins, squashes, and gourds. Daily hours are limited: 9-5 Monday through Friday; 9-12 Saturday. A family biz, Amherst has an interesting origin story. In 2002, the family started a 10 X 20 greenhouse to grow flowers themselves. They ended up growing too many so they put a sign up by the driveway. Soon all the extra flowers were gone. In response to the demand they put up a larger greenhouse and sold 700 Chrysanthemums that fall. From then the business grew exponentially. It is an experience if you dig plants and are in the area.

I have gotten plants from Grow Joy a couple of times, now...and, seasons apart, they have provided…read morea smooth, reliable, and excellent experience - each time. I have found them to be trustworthy, their site to be user-friendly, and their plants to be of excellent quality. They are also reasonably priced, unlike many other sources. They consistently do an absolutely EXCELLENT job of packaging their plants. They do not take shortcuts. They check every box and do it PROPERLY - so plants are both properly prepared for enduring the journey to you, and completely stabilized and protected during shipping so they arrive safely and in good condition. My plants have always arrived in impressively great condition, with nary a dead leaf or flower upon them. And they always get to Me quickly, without spending undue time in shipping. Grow Joy sends instructions so you know what to do when you get your plants - and make themselves as accessible as they are able, to help if you have any questions or concerns. They are small and family-owned - but I love that about them; we need more of THESE kinds of businesses in this country - instead of all the massive corporations consuming the very life force out of everything and everyone. Just saying... It is what it is. In any case - all the above is why I return to them. They remain My first choice whenever I'm looking for plants. Love them. FOLLOW UP: The avenue through which I got to making Mine - I didn't see any other reviews before doing Mine, and can't speak for...nor do I discount, anyone else's experience. I know sometimes things happen - either within or outside of a business' control; mistakes get made, there are off moments, etc. I also know small businesses tend to encounter various challenges trying to survive and operate successfully within the shark systems of the industrial world we have. My review is simply My genuine take based on My experience with this business. And whenever a business leaves Me with an unforgettable experience - for better or for worse - I tend to be compelled to share it. And Grow Joy has impressed Me in My business dealings with them so far - for the positive.

Later that day i came home to find 4 yards of blach mulch in the center of my driveway. I had to shovel just to get my car in. I always put a tarp down on my concrete but i didnt have a chance.

If anything like there service, no thanks. My friend also bought a tree 2 weeks ago and still waiting to get a call to schedule the delivery and planting. Over 700$ spent so you think you would get service. I cant accept rude and incompetent. Hopefully things will change or they wont be in business long.

Each fall as they divide and cull their collection the offer amazing clumps of daylilies, bagged and ready to go for $4 each. I am able to buy and try new to me varieties and even share the leftovers with friends and family. Last year I visited the garden late in the season specifically to see what was still blooming so I could extend the color in my own garden this coming fall. I have quite a wish list started.
