They have ALWAYS helped me figure out best choices for my light, soil, and garden situations with their prodigious knowledge.

I love that. I love that they're raising baby chicks inside. *The exceptionally kind owners. They're always so calm, so kind, so friendly, so helpful, smiling all the time even though I know dealing with the public has to drive them batty at times. *The nursery feels like going to a friend's house. It's cozy and welcoming without the super sanitized commercial feeling of a lot of nurseries. *They're small but they have a nice variety. *They have some unusual things, too. I needed a lilac, not a tall big double bloom huge lilac like most people want. I needed a dwarf lilac and they had one. Perfect! *The location is great. Really easy to combine shopping, lunch, dinner, drinks at Fairhaven with gardening. *I love that they've been able go hang on in the nursery business for 27 years. If I was an owning-a-nursery kind of person, what their doing is how I hope I'd do it. Love, smiles, and hens in the mix.

It is not huge, but somehow I almost always find the perfect thing, whether it is a hostess gift, a small thoughtful present, or just something I decide I need for myself. Their gift selection feels really unique and not like the usual stuff you see everywhere else. They also have really nice greeting cards at super reasonable prices, usually about half of what you would pay at the pharmacy, and they feel so much more personal than those generic cards. It is one of those places that just feels special when you walk in, and I pretty much always leave with something I love.

I called around with heirloom seeds in my hand trying to pay someone to start my seeds for me…read morebecause my greenhouse had blown over. Tom, at Vanwingerden, agreed to take my seeds and germinate them. He sent me pictures of the plants germinated in April and told me I could pick them up in "a month or so". Some didn't come up and I told him not to worry about those ones. The deal was I would buy the starts back. I called before mother's day to pick up the starts with no response. I called after mother's day only to discover Tom gave away ALL the plants to one of his employees. Not only did he give this employee the plants, he gave her ALL my seeds as well and then tells me he doesn't want to bug her to ask for anything back because of a loss in her family. Why would I bring seeds in and give them to their office if I didn't want the plants? Why would he get my hopes up by sending me a picture of the plants? What would ever make him think it was ok to give away my heirloom seeds? I blindly trusted and shouldn't have. The whole thing makes no sense at all and I feel totally robbed.

We have gone here for three years even though there's a Christmas tree farm within walking distance of my house (yes, I have been to it). The prices are more than fair and the adventure of the drive and u-cut in nature is superb. My advise is to be very confident in which section you get your tree from, as some varieties are contained within the same area. It's a big price difference if you are on a budget for the doug fir. In any case, the business is fair and the field staff is amazing.
