Houghton's is only open a few months out of the year, but they do a booming business when they are…read moreopen. They used to have the best prices in Vermont. About a year ago they raised their prices so they are now equivalent in price to other nurseries. There are two greenhouses filled with plants plus a small outdoor area with more plants. The reason we go to Houghton's is their hanging baskets of flowers. Whoever designs them really has an eye for putting the right flowers and colors together. We usually buy two a year and they bloom all summer. As I said Houghton's is only open until July. When they close they let the employees take home the plants they want. We heard rumors that they also donate a batch of flowers to local nursing homes in July. Parking can be a problem on weekends and they have a parking attendant who directs you to open spots. Be on the lookout for him as you approach the business.

In quaint Little Colebrook, Walgreens is THE big kahuna chain store pharmacy. Don't let the famous…read morename for you, the staff is small town friendly. The pharmacist actually calls me personally to update me about my prescriptions... this is a rarity in the city of Boston. NOTE: Using the app to refill medications is not reliable. If it's too soon to refill, or there's another problem, the app does not alert you of it in any way. The Walgreens app does not even offer the next day when a medication is available for refill. THE DEAL: call in your prescriptions a few days ahead, as they may be out of stock and have to have them shipped. But, fear not... They will call you, personally, if there is a problem!
