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.

Avoid at all costs. After my parents spent THOUSANDS to landscape their home about 50-70% of the…read moretrees, shrubs and perennials have been nothing but trouble. The most heartbreaking is the Eastern Red Bud we had placed outside of my dying father's window for him to enjoy in his last years, his favorite tree. The trunk was crooked when planted, and when they questioned Byron he claimed "it would straighten out". Well, now that my father had passed we hoped this tree would be a living memory to him but it has stopped producing buds and needs to be removed according to a local arborist. So save your money and seek a landscaper who actually knows what they are doing. 0/10 Do not recommend.
