I've been following Colonial Gardens on social media for a while and they have some fun events . I…read morefinally made it to one, plant bingo. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was so fun, that I attended a second time in the same month. The event is held in their greenhouse, which makes the perfect backdrop for this event. You play three rounds of bingo with three cards each round, and each game has one plant prize, so one winner. There's a Plant Bar serving cocktails and popcorn, plus a coffee shop on site with small bites available during the event. Jessica, the events coordinator, is friendly and fun. After all games are played you have time to shop. I went during January and there wasn't an abundance of plants and flowers, but I'm looking forward to spring to check out the greenhouse when it is blooming.

He helped me pick out a variety of maples, oaks, crab apples and evergreens for my landscape. 4 of the trees were very large 20-25 footers and they were planted by Teal's Lawn Service out of Harrisonville. The rest were planted by Jim's crew. Talk about a very professional group I highly recommend both Timberview Nursery and Teal's Lawn Services for your tree needs!

We've have been under renovation and finally in November we could consider growing grass. With the Grass Pad's guidance we planted Macho Mix Fescue grass in November.

I appreciate how encouraging they have been in helping me not have a muddy yard this summer.

I found Randy's Lakeview Nursery and Stone in Lee's Summit. It's a beautiful facility near Lake Jacomo, It is a brown wooden barn and cute. In the back there's piles of different rocks, different sizes. They allowed me to hand pick what I needed, and I paid for it at the cash register. They also have a plant area and beautiful metal work. Landscaping rocks are their specialty. They also deliver locally, which is good to know, not many places do. There's no where in Independence that does this sort of service and have landscaping rocks available. I selected Missouri River Pebbles and will return when I need more.
