I love my Garden now…read more.. I have lived in my home for over 20 years. I inherited a lovely garden, and made a game effort at upkeep, but time has taken it's toll. Barb with Nature's Path was able to transform my garden at a reasonable price that actually allowed me to view my new landscaping with pleasure rather than cringing each time I stepped out the door. Barb brings a vast knowledge of plants, and was able to pinpoint what would work best in my shady garden. She spent quite a bit of time walking around the yard with me and queried me carefully about my favorite colors plants etc. during our initial consultation meeting. One year later I was surprised to see her back for much of the day making sure the spring plantings were well underway. In addition, she was able to transplant some of my 20-year-old plants that I had nurtured over the years that I could let go of. The plantings that didn't take in my walkway are now doing fine in various corners of the backyard . She is always quick to respond to any questions. I can't recommend her highly enough ; I only wish I knew about Nature's Path 20 years ago

I know the flowers and plants that I would like, but from consultation, soon found out that some plants might not grow well where I actually wanted to put certain flowers or trees or shrubs. There are a number of aspects to consider-- full sun, or in shade; native to midwest or not; aggressive vines (that might hurt other plants) versus vines that might be compatible with the flowers I wanted. Barb had so many good suggestions, and also gave me information on each plant regarding structure (vertical and horizontal), practicality, and how parts of the gardens would grow over time (maintenance and longevity). I really got an education and I am very excited for my future garden.

What I found is a very nice nursery w/an assortment of items needed to do spring planting, landscaping materials & an assortment of seeds, plants, planters, gardening tools & fertilizers.... Basically almost anything you need to start or enhance a garden. They also have an area on the north end where they have a glass enclosed area.

On June 24,2026 at 6:51 p.m. a major wind blew thru our yard. We were not home at the time. There…read morewas severe damage throughout our neighborhood and along the gas line adjacent to the back of our property. We had a silver maple tree in our back yard that had to be 100 years old. We have lived here since 1976. Brown Tree service had cleaned and trimmed our trees 4 times over the years. The wind that blew through ripped off 4 major branches 12-18 inches in diameter. 2 landed in our garden bed on top of our potatoes, 1 landed on our fence, and 1 landed on another garden bed of ours. Our tree was not diseased at all. In fact, the branches that were ripped off looked very healthy. We called our Aborist, Ken Brown that night. When he was able to get back to us (about a half hour) he'd be here by 6:30 the next morning. He was true to his word. He walked out back, surveyed the damage and said that this was going to be a removal, not a salvage. He said he would have a crew on site within an hour. Again he was true to his word, the crew was "johnny on the job". The crew worked so well together. They also had to take care of another tree that had also lost a branch but just needed minor cleanup. Ken was by several times while they were working. It took all day but the clean up was fantastic. He told us that because of the other tree damage around the area he would be back the following week to grind out the stump. Once again, on the following Wednesday, his man showed up and really ground out the stump. He was here for three hours making sure that the stump was ground out almost a foot below ground level. Ken Brown has always done a professional job maintaining our trees and did a superlative job. We plan to replace our tree this fall after consulting with Ken. We wouldn't trust anyone else to do it.
