    I took a day trip to Tippecanoe so I could get some Triple XXX diner food, and girlfriend and I decided a walk would do us good before indulging. So after consulting with someone who went to college at Purdue, we settled on Clegg Botanical Gardens. Clegg is a land trust owned by a not-for-profit. There are maps near the office building (only open by appointment) about other land trusts they manage. Parking is across the street. If you have dogs, you might want to hold onto the leash as you get out of the car because one of the houses next to the parking lot has several dogs out in their back yard. Clegg's entrance has botanical gardens onto your right as soon as you enter. I'm sure it'll look great once spring is fully in bloom. Walking around the trails, you'll see some flowers and other plants are already coming up due to our unusually warm winter. There are a bit more than four miles of trails and at some point, you'll have to turn back around as some of the trails lead to private property. The trails go on for about 4ish miles and are a combination of unpaved trails and wooden trails/bridges. The trails eventually run up pretty close to Wild Creek and you'll be able to see the private residences and the public launching area where people bring their boats. This land trust is a bit out of the way, so you probably won't see a ton of college kids here. I'd highly recommend going and checking it out. If you can, throw a few bucks their way so that this land is preserved for generations to come.

    I have a very energetic pup and so I do a lot of walking! I was getting tired of my usual trails, and was looking for something new. This is a lovely walk- I'm sure it will look a lot prettier when the leaves and flowers come back in the spring. It involves a lot of up and down with stairs and inclines, so you need to be a little fit to enjoy the full range of trails. My dog loved having so many things to sniff, and was tired when we got home. Parking is across the street, and wear old shoes if it's been rainy lately because it can get muddy.

    You know you made the right decision to check a place out when, as soon as you step on the grounds you are overwhelmed with emotion, moved to tears and not sure why. The serenity and overall feeling of this place is amazing. Trails are well kept but still have a rugged feel. Some are more challenging than others. There are several resting platforms and observation areas sprinkled throughout that allow a person to sit, relax, reflect and take it all in. I brought my dog-dogs on leashes are allowed-and she enjoyed it as well. We will definitely return. Can't wait to see it in the fall! Note-there are no attendants, staff, etc so come prepared.

    I found out about Clegg through my job, and I'm so glad they introduced me to it. If you want to get away from everything or go hiking, but don't want to travel too far, Clegg Gardens is a great option. They have a few different trails throughout the area that can take you on a stroll through the woods, or walk along Wildcat Creek. They have a lot of great little lookouts and benches, so you can sit and take it all in. It is not a very occupied place, so you could bring a book to the Gardens with you, find a bench, and be left alone for quite a while. It's a beautiful hike in the Spring, and I definitely recommend checking it out. Be careful on your first hike, they don't have very detailed map and it's not very hard to get turned around.

    I thought the place looked very run down. Lots of steep steps that needed repair.

The space was very clean and they set up tables and chairs before we got there! The communication prior to the event was amazing and they had fast replies. Sarah was super helpful and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The venue seemed to be a little difficult for guests to find but everyone got there and the staff was willing to help them. We also paid the plant decoration fee and it was beautiful and definitely worth the extra and they let us pick the colors and the windows look out into the nursery! Definitely recommend using this space as a venue! Thank you so much!

The nursery staff has taught me about which plants can tolerate which conditions and the plant pharmacy people taught me about which type of fertilizer to use when during the growing season for my vegetables. The greenhouse people helped me choose just the right plants for the right amount of sun around my house. I used to think this was the high end plant shop but their everyday prices on flats and veggies are super, and the recent weekend sales have been amazing.

    Short Version: They cashed my checks but never came to mow my lawn. Never answered my calls or…read moreemails. Long Version: I needed my lawn to be taken care of while I was out of town this summer. I corresponded with Shayne Wierenga on the phone and via email to set bi-weekly services. They didn't accept electronic payments so I set up for checks to be sent automatically every two weeks from my bank. I did this trying to be a good customer and ensure that they would receive payment the week of service since checks take several business days to be sent. I have security cameras on my property so I checked in several times to make sure they were actually coming. I told them I needed my lawn cut every other week beginning the week of May 10 until the first week of August. They came like clock work until they didn't show up the week of July 19. I didn't notice that they hadn't mowed my lawn in almost a month until I came home August 3rd. Imagine my surprise when I come home to my lawn looking like a jungle (see pictures). I went back and looked at my security cameras to confirm that they did not bother to mow my lawn the week of July 19th nor have they come this week. This "company" had the nerve to cash my checks but not come mow my lawn. Unfortunately, by the time I got home both checks had already been sent and cashed. There was nothing I could do about it. I left two voicemails and emailed them with intentions of just getting my lawn mowed - not even asking for a refund. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt in case someone made a mistake on the schedule. But they didn't have the decency to get back to me. It is a common theme in their reviews that they stop showing up and disappear from the face of the earth. In addition to this, my lawn has sections with over grown weeds that could easily be taken care of with the mower. So even when they did mow my lawn they did a bad job.

    They started out strong and were pre paid for the entire summer. Quite a few weeks they missed and…read moreno one returns calls. This is the most unprofessional company I've dealt with. The kids that are hired zip through the lawn without a care for anything else. They show one week, then not the next. The owner Shane obviously does not care, because after 1.5 weeks, we still have not received a return call or e-mail. I don't believe in writing bad reviews, but this is the worst and hoping someone may call after reading this.
