We decided to try Burnett's this year for our annual pumpkin & chrysanthemum haul. It's a cute &…read morewell-stocked spot! The prices were a little high on the pumpkins ($24 for the funky looking swan goose snake shaped gourds, if I remember correctly) but the selection was really great. We filled our cart up. They were running a special on the mums - buy 2, get 1 free. So we picked out 9 & got 3 free. After the special, the mum prices were reasonable. The staff was very personable & friendly. I'm looking forward to coming back to check out the butterfly garden & then maybe also in the spring when we need some annuals.

She shared a photo of the finished arrangement as did my friend who received it and Loves it! And it was delivered same day! (local). Thank you Ballek's!

The quality of the trees is great - 5-6 years and we've never had a bad tree. They're full, look green and healthy until the New Year and smell amazing. As a plus, there's complimentary hot cider and popcorn, which my kids love. Something I can say yes to after picking out our tree and it also provides a snack for the ride home.

Pumpkin Town is mostly a pre-K through elementary age playground but adults have fun too. There are…read moreendless photo stops: come back to the big pumpkin back drop if there's a line when you enter, go straight to face painting before that line grows. Backdrop cutouts, the tractor, and a grow line are other photo stops that keep you coming back. One heads up that admission doubles on weekends, but $8 per person wasn't terrible, and there's a discount if you buy hayride and Pumpkin Town tickets together. Pumpkin facts are all over pumpkin town (pumpkins are hand-painted, costumed each year, and stored nightly, etc.) and it's a fun scavenger hunt for these facts. Jumping houses, tubes, and interactive houses were the best parts for our little one. Credit/debit users, remember to bring cash for postcards as you can send them postmarked from Pumpkin Town, autumn treats like cider donuts and popcorn at the snack stand, and the catapults over the pond aimed at Red Sox and Yankees targets (must be a Mets Family here!). Also remember a couple bucks to cash for the breast cancer donation box, in memory of Sandy herself. Having to bring cash isn't my favorite but there was a farm stand and snack bar with souvenirs where cards could be used. Pumpkin Town is part folk art installation, part amusement park, part harvest fair, and a fun tradition. I only wish they had a Santa Town each winter...

Since I only have a decent-sized deck, I wanted to make sure that it would be an oasis for me in the spring, summer and fall months. When I saw this place, I ended up going there 3 times within one week! Anyway, armed with dimensions and pictures of my deck, knowing what direction it faced and with pictures of certain small freestanding baskets that I wanted to use, I worked with Sarah and other support staff. They helped me to pick out the perfect plants and greenery to make sure that I have a quiet and peaceful place to sit and read or BBQ and share a wonderful meal with friends and family! Also, when I am sitting in my office which overlooks the deck, I am constantly distracted by looking out the window and enjoying my plants and all of the beautiful colors. That may not be such a good thing! LOL

We envisioned having to visit many nurseries to end up with all we needed, by 6pm we walked out with 3 types of ground coverings, lavendar plants, 2 types of ornamental grasses, in the end over 20 beautiful healthy plants and in comparison to other "popular" places the prices were extremely reasonable and fair. Don't let the curb side size of the place deter you, it is HUGE once inside and they seem to be way ahead of the competition when it comes to variety. ENJOY, we sure did! So very happy to have found this gem. https://www.facebook.com/Baltic-Greenhouse-Nursery-102035155698433
