Inside are lots of little delights for your fairy garden, and other things you will want to take home. The other building has a small cafe with few baked goods and beverages, from a local bakery. Very good. They carry some honey, syrups, and sauces also from local sources. Adorable things good for a child also abound. They offer a few classes, including an upcoming "using herbs in your libabions". Sign me up! This place sits on a lovely spot of land with a creek running through it. This itself is worth the visit.

I bought 4 arborvitae trees from Young's Nursery in Woodbury CT last spring. They were planted and…read morea while later were looking droopy. I didn't understand what the problem was, so I called the sales person who came, took a look, and told me that they were fine. About five days later I called again because the trees were looking worse, and he told me he would come to examine the trees again. I had also sent him photos. He never came back. I called the office several times, only to be told the he was having personal problems and was absent from work. He later quit. They didn't offer to send someone in his place at the time. Later they told me that they were sorry I didn't like his customer service! Now the fourth tree is looking pretty sick. They told me I shouldn't have removed the now dead trees so they could have inspected them, funny in retrospect since no one was coming over anyway. The nursey has refused to do anything to compensate me. The 3 trees cost me $1,500. Although they did offer 25% off on anything else I purchased. As if they weren't having a sale anyway. Someone finally did take a look at the last remaining tree. She told me there was a drought and blamed me for not watering the tree more. I would avoid doing business with them. My salesperson is the second salesperson that has left in 6 months, Rick was great but he is gone. They don't stand behind their customer service or what they sell.

I spent most of September last year calling every nursery I could find looking for one and Rick at Young's at Three Rivers was the only person who said he could get me one - at the time the only ones available were in Oregon but we decided to wait for a spring delivery. I secured a tree with a deposit and come spring due to COVID shortages none were available. It took until August for Rick to locate one but he never gave up the search and updated me along the way. I was able to accompany him to the wholesaler to see the tree in person and it was just planted this morning by 3 very capable employees of Youngs who knew what they were doing It is wonderful having a Styrax occupying that location again and I owe it all to Rick and the staff at Youngs. Cannot say enough good words about the experience - Thank you so very much!

ORIGIN: Kasha and David Furman founded a nursery dedicated…read moreto Chinese tree peonies on their residential property in 1989. CONCEPT: The nursery and garden, Cricket Hill Garden, was one of the first nurseries in the U.S. to offer "true-to-name" Chinese tree peonies to home gardeners and landscape designers. Names such as "Tree Lotus on Icy Mountain" and "Red Cloud reflected in Snow" evoke the imagination and for me add to the charm of these peonies. EXPERIENCE: One of the most attractive features of Cricket Hill Garden is the ability to observe and gain insight about how to best support peony flourishing in northwest Connecticut. With decades of peony growing experience, the family has established nationally-recognized expertise. A wide range of blooming peonies as well as hard-to-find fruit trees can be picked up at the nursery at Cricket Hill Garden, while others can be ordered for fall shipment. A sense of what is available can be found on the Cricket Hill Garden's website (www.treepeony.com). TIPS: Check out the website's events page as well; the Furmans help educate others about optimal growing conditions. The Furman family welcome visitors to their flower garden Wednesday-Saturday, between 10 and 4. There, a variety of peonies, including tree, intersectional, and herbaceous, can be seen in bloom each spring. Reports of blooms can be found on the garden's Instagram account.

Bentley arrived at the time we had discussed and got to work after a quick conversation. He promptly cleared an area under my deck of small vines and possibly poison ivy. He then began clearing the front of my yard, then finally cleared the front of my driveway of all poison ivy. Bentley completed the work (and there was alot of it) in under two hours. We are completely satisfied with his quality of work, value, and professionalism. Would definitely work with Bentley's Weed Wacking again.
