WOW. We stumbled upon Gardening Adventures while driving through Verona on the Friday prior to…read moreMemorial Day weekend. I am just beginning to put in perennial gardens around our house and I can guarantee that we will be coming back to these lovely ladies' gardens again and again. The prices are fantastic, the plants are gorgeous and healthy, and I love that you can see everything they sell beautifully displayed in their mature backyard gardens. Knowing that the wide variety of plants are hardy for our weather is also fantastic. Even better than that, this is a business that sprouted from two friends' love of gardening. We first stopped at Karen's gardens, where she sells mostly trees, shrubs, lilies and a variety of flowering plants. After some very helpful discussion about what we were looking for, she helped us decide to go with a couple of white pines and a Thuja Giant Arbor Vitae for screening. I also picked up the first of what will be many of their gorgeous day lilies. She then directed us to Sharon's garden for hostas and ground cover (she also has most of the grasses and some other flowering plants). Sharon walked us around her mature gardens and helped us chose flowering ground cover for a difficult location. We went with two types and we also picked up a Clematis and four types of hosta. They said their inventory had been hit pretty hard after their big sale on the weekend prior. I really look forward to seeing what things look like before that sale, because it seemed to me like they had TONS of plants to choose from. There's really not much more that I can ask for than to buy from local, knowledgeable people doing what they love. If you're at all interested in planting perennials in the Madison area and haven't checked out Gardening Adventures, you're missing out.

All plants are acclimated to Wisconsin weather before being sold I maintain an inventory of 3000 to 4000 plants. My ever changing inventory reflects my gardens needs of renewal and division. Most of the flowers and grasses are sold in one gallon, two gallon, and larger pots. In this economy my prices are more than competitive. Advice is always free!

I wish I could rate these guys higher as quite literally they started out great. But then into the…read moresummer they got off schedule somehow, missed doing my lawn for two weeks and I finally had to contact the owner to get them out to my house to cut the grass. Then, they showed up 4 days later to cut it again (without discussing this with me). Thank goodness I was home as I told them I wasn't going to pay for them to cut my grass twice in 1 week (that's not what I signed up for) and asked them to come back in a week. They said they understood and agreed they would come back in 7 days. BUT...they simply never came back again. Two weeks later I emailed the owner to ask if they were going to come back. Owner (Rick) said no, they weren't coming back because I sent his crew away (when they showed up twice in one week). So in essence, Rick made this decision without notifying me, leaving me now in a lurch to try and find someone this late in the season to cut the lawn. Lousy customer service...lousy. I would never recommend these guys to anyone.

However, their cashiers had NO clue about the sales being conducted on perennials and annual flowers. Before the first one rang me up, I reminded her about the sales, then assumed she'd know their percentages. When I got the receipt and saw no discounts taken, I asked again. She realized she "forgot" to apply them. A second cashier studied the receipt, yet doubted I really had bought 3 of things, so I had to ask my husband to go retrieve the box he had already carried out to the car. Neither staffperson could manage to honor the sale prices or figure out how to apply the discounts, so just gave us one plant free out of exasperation. We spent over $100 there. If you go this week (June 9th), snap a shot of their sales signs on your camera so you can "prove" to the cashiers there's a sale on.
