I guess I'll be prepared when I move to "the most dangerous city in America", St. Louis. But I digress... Jelenek's is a very cool place and has been around at least as long as I've been alive. My mom used to take us here to stock up on our annuals, vegetables and seeds for the garden. Once I was a little older and wiser, I figured out how to buy flower flats myself and gave Mom a Mother's Day treat of planting the front yard for her. Not quite a surprise the next 15 years that I did it, but every year she was thrilled with the flowers and how nicely they held up all summer. Jelenek's is family-owned if my memory serves me and I love the long-haired Crystal Gayle-esque woman who works there. She's a sweetheart in her big-brimmed gardening hat, full of knowledge and happy to help. They've got a nice selection of seeds, plenty of soil, mulch and tools and I'm pretty sure they have perennials as well. I always enjoy pushing my unwieldy cart through the gravel paths and admiring all the colorful annuals. The greenhouse vegetables at Jelenek's have never failed me and always yield hefty harvests (at least in my experience). The only trouble I've ever encountered was the time I thought I bought sweet banana peppers, but they turned out spicy as hell. When that's your biggest beef with a down-home, country gardening store, you're in good hands.

My parents and I went to Johnson's Farm Produce in the middle of September to see the sunflowers…read more While this was fun, the sunflowers weren't as tall as we were expecting even though we went right in the heart of sunflower season. Inside the sunflower patch, there were also numerous photo opportunities and props, which made for a unique experience. They had three fields: sunflowers: pumpkins: vegetables. The tractor ride to the different fields was nice and the employees that helped people get on and off the tractor were kind and friendly. There was also a wheelchair user, so they made the attractions accessible for them, which made me enjoy the farm a lot more. My advice for visiting this family-friendly farm is to plan ahead of time and keep track of the sunflower season if you want to see big, tall sunflowers. Even if you don't visit for the sunflower, they still have plenty of other activities to do and things to shop for. Another activity I enjoyed were the apple cannons. There is a big set up with junk and signs that you can hit with apples that shoot out of a cannon. It's a lot of fun and it's really easy to do!

Absolutely Stunning!…read more Just had Fields Nursery complete a redesign of our back yard. Posted I have provided a "pano" photo of the complete work. Tom Gollick and his team did an outstanding job. The entire job included the designing, planting of arperzvites, pine tree, bushes, ground cover, and plants, as well as installing the outcropping and paver stones. Their hard work and good ideas resulted in beautiful back yard setting. The Fields team was very efficient and adjusted well to whatever ideas and modifications my wife and I suggested. Each member of the team was very professional. My wife and I are very satisfied with all of the completed work and will undoubtedly enjoy our back yard for many years to come. Kudos to Tom and his team. I highly recommend Fields Nursery for any/all future work/product. Respectfully Submitted T&T

Today, I was eating breakfast at Round the Clock on Rt. 30 in Schererville. I was seated next to a guy at the counter and we got on the subject of weed and feed and our disappointment with Scott's lawn care products. It seems like a common complaint these days that what used to take one treatment to kill weeds with Scott's, now seems to be a losing proposition. This man told me he liked the products available at Alsip Nursery, the brands they carried. With this fresh bit of information, I headed out to Alsip Nursery down Rt. 41. I went inside and was immediately impressed with how pristine, spacious and organized the interior of this business is. I was greeted by a bearded young man who was so knowledgeable of the fertilizers, weed/crabgrass control items as well all the beautiful plants displayed. This man stayed with me, finding the only bottle left for the certain type of crabgrass I had. He truly represents Alsip Greenhouses very well. Contrary to some of the negative reviews I have read here, NONE of them applied to my first time at Alsip Greenhouse. The prices ARE NOT out of line or expensive for the quality, variety or selection of the plants and merchandise offered. I bought a Picollo Banda plant! Personally, I have a long history of working in greenhouses and owned my own florist in downtown Chicago for 35 years, my eyes tell me that Alsip Greenhouse is an outstanding, quality local business that should be supported to the fullest by the community. I most definitely will return to Alsip Greenhouse and Nursery, I was very impressed. Great customer service! Exceptional quality! You'd be a fool not to do business at Alsip Greenhouse and Nursery. Highly Recommended!!!

However, after surfing the internet several times, the only place I could find locally to shop water plant containers was Alsip. I don't have a pond and a beginner with containers, but discovered it's next to impossible to find a container with appropriate width and depth for water plants. I finally found an employee I thought might help, but he was obviously disinterested and waved his hand to one aisle and swept across another for pots and tubs. When I tried to get information on the container I hoped might work, he just explained it was plastic (made to look like concrete). No information on the label--lucky to find the size. For the price, I hope it'll get through more than one season!
