Joy: New England Nurseries in Bedford, MA has remained a…read moremagical happy place for years. Beautiful Perennials, Annuals, & Shrubs have all remained healthy, & instructions for optimal growth are attached. Convenient location right on Concord Rd is a bonus. Wandering the lanes -- with such a sumptuous range -- reminds me that "Joy is not meant to be a Crumb".* Need To Know: Many plants include valuable details, such as: Attractive to Pollinators; Repels Mosquitoes; No deadheading blossoms required; Deer Resistant; 6-8 hours of Direct Sun needed. Good to know. More Planting Info: Because most Plants are arranged by category in beautifully marked lanes -- sun, shade, perennial, annual, native -- finding fundamental info is simple. More details are always easily found online, too. Goats! Visiting sweet & frisky rescue goats Ben & (yep!) Jerry is a pleasure: climbing rocks, munching hay, encouraging petting. Ah! Simple fauna pleasures among so many floral treasures. Dear elderly Fluffernutter is a goat 90 in human years, enjoying attention as a sweet-natured senior. Planting Questions Rating: I remain so puzzled by negative comments about customer service. I've found help to be accessible, valuable, & informative, even near closing time & when especially busy. My questions would annoy most nurseries, but planting instructions included are not always specific enough. Examples of rookie questions that have been answered pleasantly, even by phone: My Rookie Questions: How may I plant autumn Tulip bulbs that won't be devoured? (Consider Daffodils.) Will 'Million Bells' (Calibrachea) need to be covered if nights dip below 45? (Depends. Is location sheltered?) Can Pansies tolerate light frost? (Yes.) What should soil temperature remain to plant spring tubers for glorious Dahlias? (50° F. or warmer.) Impatiens? (60° F. lowest). What I Don't Ask: I only ask questions if not clearly marked on plant -- yet extra info provided helps, like knowing newly-planted Dahlia tubers do need watering if rain penetration depth is insufficient. (Want Dinner-Plate Dahlias in August? Stick a finger into soil an inch or so in spring. Dry? Tuber or plant needs more water: Rain wasn't enough.) Addendum: I have not purchased trees or landscaping materials, so cannot judge customer service for them. Quality & selection appear exceptional, & friends who have bought them were happy with results. Summary? I Love New England Nurseries. _________________________________ * Quote: Mary Oliver poem: "Joy is not meant to be a Crumb."

The oat crust was nice and crumbly with various sized bits, the oat bits made it a bit chewier. The bottom of the pie was likely somewhat undercooked, a bit too doughy.

The inside of the store looked quite neat, with varieties of gardening decor goods available. It was interesting that the bumbleberry pie had rhubarb in it. Is that usual?
