I am an avid gardener; gardening is my passion and what I do to maintain my sanity :-). Would have…read moregotten my Master Gardener certification if I had the time to put into the program and the community service they require ... but I have my own business, and I can't make the commitment. So I know a bit about plants, flowers, bushes, and landscaping as I have been doing it for over 30 years. When I moved up to the Saratoga Springs area several years ago, I purchased six crabapple and two dogwood trees from Hewitt's on Route 9 in Wilton. My ex-husband and I planted the crabapples along the driveway, and the dogwoods at the side of the house. We did everything you're supposed to do - big holes, compost in with the root ball, watered well - but for some odd reason the trees never made it (like the marriage, but that's another story). It depressed the heck out of me to see these 'sticks' with nary a leaf on them every time I drove down the 300' driveway. When I went to purchase my annuals at Hewitt's a couple weeks ago, I mentioned to one of the cashiers my disappointment in these trees. The cashier told me that Hewitt guarantees all their trees, to take some photos of the trees, and come back and speak with Chris, the manager. I had an early appointment in town this morning and decided to stop by Hewitt's before this popular place got hopping. Chris could not have been more helpful or accommodating. I didn't have the receipts for the trees because I am now divorced and my ex has those records. I showed him the photos of the trees (which may or may not have been necessary), and we picked out eight replacement trees at no charge to me. I tell you the truth, I almost cried. I've been staring at these ugly 'sticks in the ground' for several years, which is depressing. He loaded them in my Hyundai Tucson (who knew they would fit?) along with a gardenia tree, jasmine plant, and clematis that I purchased. I relay this rather winded story because we're always so quick to complain when things go wrong or we're disappointed with a product or service and people don't assume responsibility, Hewitt's is a local business (they have several locations) that guarantees their trees ... and they keep their word even a few years later! Because of Chris' exemplary customer service, Hewitt's will be getting ALL of my business in the future. They have a very extensive selection of healthy trees (including fruit trees, which might be my next purchase), bushes, vines, and perennial and annual plants, including the tropicals that I love (hibiscus bushes and trees, gardenias, jasmine, bananas, and more) at reasonable prices. Chris, you have made this customer and gardener very happy. Thank you!

After passing by Emerson Family Farm multiple times in the past few years we decided to stop in to…read morebuy some mums. When we pulled in we were warmly greeted by the farm owner Debbie and her mother. They did a great job of helping us find the right mums we were looking for and actually helped us buy some for our upcoming wedding. They were extremely polite and actually told us that we could house our mums there until our wedding day. They said that they would take care of the plants without any additional charge which was a relief for us. The price is here also reasonable which was an added plus. The customer service here alone warrants five stars but I can't talk highly enough about their quality. The flowers that they have, as well as the other plants and gourds are incredible. We will continue to shop here in the future and we are excited to hopefully buy our Christmas tree here come winter.

The website states the hours as 9-6 7 days a week from nov 11th until Christmas eve, but when we…read moregot there at 5:15 today they were closed for the night. The owner and her son were outside arguing and blatantly ignored us and turned the lights off while we were clearly standing in the parking lot. Finally, a young man did come over and ask if we wanted any help. We said we would like a tree, decided to basically take the first one we saw and get out as quickly as possible. The whole experience took about 15 minutes, definitely not the type of heartwarming traditional Christmas experience we were expecting when parroting a local family owned business. I will say that the young man who helped us was ultimately very friendly and we are happy with our tree, we just won't plan to return here again.

This place is just a gem! Again we came here for apple picking and just got to doing other things…read moreand didn't go apple picking! We did end up buying some. Ya gotta have the apples! I don't feel it's been that long since I've been here, but they did rearrange things and the store seems a lot bigger. They changed the location where you get your donuts so the area it used to be in isn't so crowded and darn it, we didn't get any of those either! We will just have to make another trip before the season concludes.

This made for a wonderful family fun day! Upon arrival we approached the brew house on the lower…read morelevel. They had cider & wine on tap which was exactly what we were there for! The lavender and honey cider was AMAZING. We made our way to the gift shop which was full of adorable Indian Ladder apparel-- shirts in all sizes, hoodies, hats, beanies, even onesies for babies. They had stuffed animals, candles, fudge, jewelry, tea bags, toys, candy, & much more. We made our way to the counter full of baked goods! That was full of pies, cakes, cookies, cider donuts, & so much more. We ordered a milkshake, a cider donut ice cream sandwich & a bowl of ice cream. The cider donut ice cream sandwich is indeed worth the hype. After eating our ice cream we made our way to the animals. We saw a donkey, some chickens, goats, turkeys, & even little sheep!! On Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays they have the Pizza Garden. We ordered a regular 10 inch & a gluten free apple pizza! Ugh!! So fresh & delicious! Outdoor seating accommodations for tons of people.
