We were stuck at the absence of customers on a Saturday at 12 noon. But we were impressed with the diversity and quality of the plants flowers and bushes. The owner came out after a while and showed us some stunning hydrangeas. After a few go rounds looking at other prospective plants to "adopt," we decided on a huge Bobo hydrangea for $145 I want to come back and get some more low-growing junipers for my gardens

When I ordered 8 yards of mulch from Maple Row Farm, did they actually deliver that much?…read more Quick answer: YES (and a bit more). I had the opportunity to measure what they delivered, since I carry buckets of mulch (by hand) out onto the paths on our property. I fill the buckets exactly to the top and a simple measurement and quick calc gave me 290 buckets. After 2 weeks of hauling, I did a total of ... 302 buckets - over 8 1/4 yards. A-Triple-Plus to the Maple Row folks for a great product!

From farming to gardening, it's a good place to start…read more The garden section has much improved and I would like it if they brought back more of their cement urns and pedestals. Prices are standard. The cement item prices are pretty good. Admittedly, they seem to have a lot of knickknacky stuff that's unnecessary and collects dust. Family run, friendly folks who are not overly intrusive. They have good quality soil, plants and mulch. What more can you ask for? Feed and chickens are also available. Used to have a better selection of Bogs etc. but their product lines change year to year and I'm a bit disappointed in the boots and gloves selections of late. Quality tools and gardening chemicals that you won't find at the Home Depot. Bonus! Hours have improved though I do wish they were open a little later. Customer loyalty program will keep you coming back! That's a nice touch.

It's Labor Day 2024 and I had been seeing on social media at Shortt's Ice cream at Shortt's Farm…read more Im not sure how long they have been offering ice cream. Previous reviews are very old so I assume this is a new thing. There were two young people working and I don't think management expected the crowd. The young man kept taking orders but not helping to fill any. Then Im not quite sure he showed his co worker our order for two sundaes. I asked him about it after six orders for milkshakes taken after our orders were completed. He told me they are working on it. Finally, I had to stop the girl handing out milkshakes Then the young guy couldn't tell him where he wrote our order. So to save some time we gave our orders again. Shortt's has amazingly good ice cream. They just need management to get with their team and get a better system for larger groups. I noticed an important miss they were not taking names. After we had our sundaes I would hear them yell out chocolate milk shake or oreo milkshake and a few people saying thats me. Im sure Shortt's will have lots of continued customers once they get a better system for crowds in place. The ice cream is worth it.

Rarely in my travels have I met a business owner with more integrity and genuine interest in…read morehelping out a customer than the owner of Earth First Nursery. I used to live in the area years ago when the nursery was named Wakeman's and preferred that name. When talking with Dave Benjamin, the owner, it doesn't take long to appreciate his knowledge base. This is the type of business I like to go to where not only do you get a great product but you can tap into expert advice. When I was in Connecticut I'd snap a photo of the area of my yard, give Dave a general description of what I was hoping for then ask his advice - Dave would usually suggest something far better than I had in mind. He has saved me numerous times from planting in the wrong area and was always willing to provide pragmatic, spot-on advice whenever I had a problem with a plant. Just like Beata E. I had a problem with some blueberry bushes in one portion of my yard but not another, Dave asked about the soil pH, I checked and he was right -- where the bushes thrived it was the right pH but was too high where the plants had issues. He advised how to correct it, I followed his advice and, no surprise, it worked. He seems to really love helping and when I stopped by sometime later, he asked how my blueberry plants were doing - and seemed to really care. This is not a Home Depot or Walmart type place where you just buy a plant, I consider Earth First as a resource where you benefit from their knowledge and experience. I think Dave said his father used to own the business and that he went to college for a degree in horticulture to work at his father's nursery - pretty impressive. Now that I've moved and am living in California, I'm hoping to find the Wakeman's equivalent out here. (btw, I don't think there are new owners, just a different name)

They have a great selection of annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, decorative pots and more. There are many unique plants that I've never seen elsewhere. Most recently, I was searching for succulents, and they had a vast array, with lots of beautiful arrangements to provide inspiration. While Oliver's is a geared toward high-end gardeners, I find their prices to be about the same -- sometimes better -- than those of other garden centers in Connecticut. The knowledgeable staff are friendly and helpful. Oliver's is also community-minded. In my neighborhood, we are working to transform a vacant, overgrown, ugly lot into a nature preserve and bird sanctuary. Oliver's has been a true partner in this endeavor, providing native tress and shrubs that are well-adapted to the particulars of the space and lots of good advice about care, placement, etc.

They always have such a plentiful wide variety of all kinds of flowers and vegetables in seedling packs. Most veggies come in 6 packs and some are in 4 packs. For 2.99 it's such a steal! Not only do I value the variety but the quality of these plants are amazing. I come here every year and I have never been disappointed. There are so many kinds of tomatoes it's unbelievable! I love getting the beefsteak, cherry, and grape tomatoes. The hybrid tomatoes do outstanding as well. Not only do these plants thrive when planted they are so beautiful and bountiful! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for my tomatoes! I bought geraniums for my great grandmother for her birthday. They have so many beautiful colors and for a great price at only 4.99 each! They usually come with 2 plants per pack with loads of buds. She loves the pink colors as she always told me they used to only have red and white. Every year she requests them from her favorite garden store. They didn't have the largest selection when I went but I'm sure they restocked for Mother's Day. Overall, I highly recommend supporting this local business my family has been coming here for generations and will continue to do so! Absolutely always a 5 star visit coming to tree land!
