The Carter Christmas Tree Farm is located in the heart of the Miller Place Historic District…read more Did you know The Carter Christmas Tree Farm listed on the National-Register of Historic Places? Open Saturdays and Sundays only, from November 17th until December 22nd, this is one of our Long Island treasures. I've been using a fake tree for a few years now. I missed having the smell of a real Christmas tree in the house. It gives a special holiday vibe when I see it all decorated. Sure, you can buy a tree from a guy on the side of the road. Drag it to your car and zoom away. How about taking a saw out in the field, choosing your tree and sawing it down?* That's exactly what I did at Carter Christmas Tree Farm. My wife then grabbed an end and we brought it to the front to get wrapped for travel. Don't worry, they have the saws available for you. Once you bring your tree home, you'll need a stand. I had an old stand, 4 screws that tighten around the tree. The tree I purchased from Carter Christmas Tree Farm had a thicker trunk. I had to run to Ace Hardware and purchase a new stand. Carter Christmas Tree Farm sells wreathes for your front door as well as other items needed to decorate your house for Christmas. Thanksgiving weekend is when we like to decorate, if your in the area I highly recommend Carter Christmas Tree Farm for your next freshly cut Christmas tree. *Next year I'm getting a tree with a root ball so I can re plant the tree on my property.

First, let me say that the hubby and I have had a real tree for the last 12 years. We have had them…read morein California, New Jersey and Rhode Island. (Husband is military) We have NEVER had this problem... SO MANY SPIDERS. Dude who left that review was not exaggerating. It wasn't just one or two. My husband thought I was crazy at first...until we woke up the next morning and there were little spiders EVERYWHERE. Obviously they aren't going to hurt us or anything but I have three little kids and I don't want them decorating a tree infested with spiders. I don't know if it's this place or the area, but might be buying a fake tree this year. We put the tree in our backyard. That's where it will live. The one star is for the actual experience of going to the farm and cutting down the tree. That was the best part. Bummer

I'm not sure why the negative reviews! Honestly, Ging's deserves 5 stars. I've been coming out…read moreto this area my entire life, spending my summers in sound beach. I've always known about Ging's, as it's been there for many many decades, but the last time I was there was when I was a child. I decided to do some landscaping at my summer house, and was looking for a specific type of ornamental grass. After trying all the big box stores as well as garden dept on 112, I stopped at Ging's. I was blown away. Ging's nursery was one of the best nurseries I've ever been to. Their selection, quality, neatness, and health of the plants was the best I've ever seen. Every plant they had, had cards written out with the price and key description of what the plant is like..... the prices were the same if not less than any other place too. The staff was helpful, and so friendly. Left with three huge grasses, 5 smaller ones, and 5 lavender plants, all for under $320. You should definitely check them out!

Brian gave me a quote ($500 for 300 sq ft of sod), made some some sod recommendations (fescue), and in general it was a smooth, pleasant convo. However, the driver arrived 1.5hr AHEAD of schedule. This wasn't ideal, as I had errands to run... and then I was charged $540 vs $500 as was discussed. There was no heads up about this. Again, I'm impressed with the initial communication and the quick turnaround, but you can't add an 8% price increase without letting me know about it in advance. I wanted to support a local biz, this price was now closer to Home Depot eliminating the savings. Just something to be mindful of, when working with Oceanside Nursery.

Today we shopped for perennials and found an amazing variety of extremely well cared for plants. 1 gal plants at $9.99 and grown by their own local family growers. And you can tell. We chatted with both the husband and wife owners as we navigated through the grounds and had all of our questions answered with professionalism and a pride of ownership that is rare. We will be back. (PS. They also do fall plants & Christmas trees!!)

I explained that & asked what kind of ornamental grass it was ? Ignored . My intention was to purchase about 20 of the ornamental grass that I asked about . So I continued to the cashier to pay for only 4 tomato plants. Explained the situation & she said sorry & he's the owner (lol) she was probably his wife as I was told from a customer at the next nursery down the road which was better priced and good customer service. I was shocked that the cashier @ Powers didn't ask me to show her what my interest was . Oh well , not going there anymore and I'm certainly spreading the word .

Funny story about this place. So in the 90's there was a barn sales lot on RT112 in Medford…read more Your probably asking yourself, What the heck is a barn anyway? One doesn't "Need" a barn and what does one even put in a barn?? Is it like a Silo? Does one store corn or grain?? Man, you are just filled with questions! I live in Long Island and work in NYC. In the 90's I built a house. Wait, I more like GC's my house. I hired a plumber, a painter, a sheet rock guy and we all built this thing together. Kinda like a collaboration, where all I did was swing a hammer and paid everyone. Well, I need a place for my car. My house is on a hill so I want a detected garage. I call my builder and there is a structure that was built probably in 1930. Well to tear it down and build a one car garage, 30K. 30K?? What that hell man! So I drive by this place on 112 and I see a huge barn! I mean this sucka has a loft!! Car on the bottom and a man cave loft on top to play cards with my buddies and smoke stogies, yes!!! I walk into the place and the salesperson is Amish. I tell him I want the barn with the loft! He says, well you have to have a permit from the Stony Brook historic center before I can come. Oh, Hogwash. Here is cash. I'll have the area cleared for this sucka. Here you go. Sir, I can not sell you the most expensive barn on my lot without a permit. Are we in New York????? I'm all bummed and I drive by "Gera Gardens" . They sell sheds, swing sets and barns! I find a nice single car barn with double doors (No loft) I'm thinking I'll be like Batman and bash thru the doors when I want to drive my car. haha Very reasonably priced, I had the old structure torn down. I bought some gravel and had it all graded for my new garage/barn. The truck driver comes down my block. They put down some platform for the barn to rest on, then it was the coolest thing ever, the barn was on this huge "swing arm" and was rested on the platform. Dealing with GG was not a hassle, they sell all sizes of barns, sheds, swings, kids swing sets. My barn has been standing for over 15 years. GG sells a quality product

We were greeted by Maria upon arriving and she showed us around a little and gave us some helpful ideas. She was very knowledgeable. We left that day with a few small shrubs. We returned a few days later to place a larger order which required delivery. Again Maria was a great help to us. We were told it would be likely a week before our large shrubs would be delivered, but I was delighted to get a text upon arriving home saying that they would deliver the very next day! They were great about text communication regarding the delivery, and everything arrived safely. One thing that we were pleasantly surprised about was that they had more plants in stock than it said on their website. It said that they were sold out of many items, however many of those plants (in the heights that we hoped for) were actually there. Definitely worth it to make a trip there to see exactly what is in stock in case things haven't been updated online. They had a 20% off flowering shrubs sale which was a nice bonus. We were very happy with our experiences at Bay Gardens and would definitely return. Everyone was friendly, professional, and (very important during this time) wearing masks. We definitely recommend Bay Gardens!
