This is my third time I've been too Norms' Greenhouse & Nursery. I don't get here too much since…read moreits a bit of a drive from Watertown, but each time I come I thoroughly enjoy the visits. They have such a large and varied assortment of trees, which I thoroughly enjoy seeing. They usually carry are larger choice of trees than what I see there in Watertown. What I also enjoy is chopping it up with the employees here. I know my trees pretty well and they also understand the species, and sub-species; which ones are grafted, spliced, new subspecies and so forth. They also understand which ones handle sub-optimal conditions, which allows for better choice for choosing which trees. What's also a big adder in the decision making process is they also will work with you to throw in some meaningful discounts. All in all, I plan on returning more often and can't wait to see what's new for that season for tree planting.

I'm fairly new to the Yankton area, and was interested to learn of the history of Gurney's Seed in…read moreYankton, though I had never been a customer, I easily recall the name from their seed catalogs in the 80's. Seeing the Gurney name on the sign piqued my interest, so I gave Yankton Nurseries a try. Best I can say? Meehhh. Starting with the gal behind the counter/register, whom acted as if she'd rather be anywhere else, and seeming believes the snarl is a legitimate customer service tool. Then on to the too-small seedling trays that YN chooses to use for many of their plants. These too-small trays result in pretty extensive, early root-bound plants. I reluctantly bought other plants from Walmart, and at least their plants were in adequately sized pots, avoiding that problem. I've been germinating my own organic seeds, from seeds harvested from my own plants grown in my own organic soils, and I often germinate several hundred of plants each season, and I use large pots. And whereas my own plants are thriving, with the Walmart plants trailing behind, the extremely root-bound plants from Yankton Nurseries are suffering. I had to buy new plants at Walmart to replace the suffering plants I got from Yankton Nurseries. I try to support small business when I can, but when I have no reason to do so, I will reluctantly go to the big chains. I've no reason to shop at Yankton Nurseries.
