My mom is my source of all things gardening, and she told me to go to Story's. I looked up the website (which is great) to see what they had in stock. Under "fruiting plants" in nursery stock, I found what was basically a comprehensive list of all the fruit I could think of...so we just decided to head over and take our chances. When we arrived and walked around a bit, I realized that they actually HAVE pretty much everything on that comprehensive list, because this place is massive and awesome. I don't think I can possibly list all the things they've got, but I feel pretty confident saying that their selection is better than anything you might find in the surrounding area: Trees, shrubs, evergreens, bushes, perennials, herbs, succulents, conifers, flowers, vegetables, vines...you want plants, they've got the plants. They've also got all the garden supplies you need...plant food, fertilizer, seeds, pesticides, tools, a gorgeous selection of pots, and hooks, and garden gnomes, and more. I didn't know I needed netting to keep the birds from eating my blueberries, but they did, and they've got the netting you need. I should note that my mom frowns on netting your berries, as she believes we need to share with the birds...but she's just a much better person than I am.

My daughter requested seafood for her birthday dinner so I headed to Adam's Poughkeepsie location…read more If you can find a parking space, remember to bring a quarter with you because at this location, you are required to insert a quarter to rent the cart. Presumably this is because of the proximity to City Of Poughkeepsie, but I see no reason for it. This location has a bit of a confusing situation because you really need to remember which entrance you use so you can get back to your vehicle without having to circle the entire building with an overflowing cart of groceries. They are pros and cons to shopping here. Staff is extremely friendly to the point where you feel like you're at a neighborhood small grocery. But this place is massive with an abundance of imports and unique offerings from around the region. I belong to a farm cooperative, so I don't usually need vegetables. However, in this case, I did shop produce to locate some organic options to serve with the scallops and shrimp. The presentation is wonderful, but the prices are outrageous. Year over year, the same items that I purchased at Adam have increased by at least 30%. Some of that is due to the current geopolitics, but some of it is just plain exorbitant pricing. My purchase: A stop at Seafood to make sure they had 2 pounds of sea scallops approximately $24 per pound- wild caught. And the colossal shrimp more than $20 per pound also wild caught. Next stop a birthday cake - everything looks wonderful and I'm sure that there are items that are not mass produced with lots of fillers, but idea say that they probably use the same cake mixes as the less pricey supermarkets. Regardless, I had no time to bake so I picked up a 6 inch carrot cake - $26. And a fresh fruit tart 9 inch $29. Ouch, one note about the fruit tart is that the strawberries were not hold which makes for very.com cumbersome dining. You serve a lovely piece of fruit tart, and your guest has to dissect the strawberry to take the leaves off. It doesn't look that great and it is not appetizing. A quick stop to pick up organic broccoli. What the heck! Roughly $12 for two bunches of broccoli. I must be out of my mind. It was a birthday and I don't have any broccoli at home so I bit the bullet Over to the cheese counter where you can find exceptional values, and Exceptional imports My pic today was Bulgarian feta cheese, which is not easy to find, a beautiful French Camembert, and a block of Gouda. A loaf of bread, and a quick run to the clearance section at the back of the store where I scored pretty well with about 2 pounds of beautiful grapes for two dollars and a dragon fruit for under two dollars. A 12 pack of Parker General rolls $2.50 a quick run past the pasta department for the Italian produced linguine and onto the cash register. My cart was full and I knew my wallet would be empty soon so I headed home. Shopping at Adams is an experience rather than a chore. Please don't go on an empty stomach because you will soon regret it. You're not gonna find samples here for tasting, but you can ask at the cheese counter if you're not sure about a potential purchase and they will oblige. I do .

I don't like getting my hands too dirty in the garden, but when I noticed Chavez's Facebook page showing their end-of-season sale on ALL trees+shrubs in late October, a visit here had to happen. Especially since hubs and I have been adding greenery to our new home's landscape. This garden center has a really nice greenery selection and to also add, Chavez is a cheaper alternative to the big box (HD/Lw's) stores- which have been pricier for me quite honestly. Here at Chavez, I got fantastic local advice from the friendly owner, Juan. I bought a couple of Laurels and a few other items to really add lushness to the front and back of our new home. I brought hubs along on our second visit so he can also pick a few items. We couldn't beat Juan's prices for two, almost 6' high, $100 ea Cypress trees that'll grow like giants. Service was great from both Juan and his wife Earth. This is one spot I'll keep in my mental bank. Do keep in mind, these folks close up shop in late Fall- so if you need to purchase anything, plan accordingly.

There is a nice selection of all kinds of annuals and perennials, but nothing extraordinary. In addition to the main area, be sure to check out all of the numbered greenhouses. It wasn't until after I had purchased over $250 worth of small plants that another customer told me about the greenhouses. I bought so many plants for hanging baskets and discovered that they had an entire greenhouse of hanging baskets for $20 each. Ugh. I absolutely would not have purchased all of those individual plants. The other thing is that the staff there isn't friendly. Maybe they are understaffed. No one approached us, or was able to help us. When we asked for a specific plant, they didn't know if they had them or not. Some of them we later found on our own. The other thing is that the plants aren't entirely grouped together. Most of the coleus plants are in the large main greenhouse, but what I was actually looking for was outside. Also, they charge for boxes. Wow. After spending over $250 for plants, they then charged me $.30 a box to carry them and put them in the car. This place is pretty good but I don't think I would return. I would rather go to a place like Adams where you can really get someone to help you out.
