Need a quick, fun fall family activity to do with the little ones? This is a great spot! I can't…read moretell you how many times I've passed this spot on one way to visiting family. Lots of activities and it doesn't cost anything to enter, but each activity does cost a few coin. Face painting was $10, I believe the "gold digging" demo was $6 (and there is a sign that suggests you do the other activities before getting your face painted as the paint might not last, which I appreciated). Food was available for purchase and I got a roasted corn that I was forced to split with the kid. The corn wasn't that sweet but still sufficed. I didn't get to look at the plants or any of the nursery items but I will def head back there when in the area when it's time to start planting.

The plant is beyond beautiful and has grown unbelievably. Thanks for your suggestion to provide cover for our a/c. We would like suggestions to prepare the plant for winter. Also I think we may have to divide the plant because it has grown so much. It's perfect right now but want it to be ready for spring and not grow even more. Can you give me suggestions. I have looked online but there seems to be many opinions and I don't know which advice to take. Thank you so much. We love your garden center in Riverhead. All plants purchased have done so well!

We came here for the tulip festival and had an amazing time!…read more Prices for the festival are steep ($25 PP on weekends) but we made the most of it. Rows and rows of tulips that are $1 each! If you were able to get the bulbs you could take those home too, which is a nice perk since they are perennials and will come back year after year. Plenty of parking. Tickets are cash or card. They have some goodies to also purchase on your way out. Petting farm for the kiddos (I mean I squealed when I saw the cute pigs too). Live music. Food trucks. The main nursery is open, as well. Lots of plants for sale when we went. And LI Farm Brewery is on premises!

The Carter Christmas Tree Farm is located in the heart of the Miller Place Historic District…read more Did you know The Carter Christmas Tree Farm listed on the National-Register of Historic Places? Open Saturdays and Sundays only, from November 17th until December 22nd, this is one of our Long Island treasures. I've been using a fake tree for a few years now. I missed having the smell of a real Christmas tree in the house. It gives a special holiday vibe when I see it all decorated. Sure, you can buy a tree from a guy on the side of the road. Drag it to your car and zoom away. How about taking a saw out in the field, choosing your tree and sawing it down?* That's exactly what I did at Carter Christmas Tree Farm. My wife then grabbed an end and we brought it to the front to get wrapped for travel. Don't worry, they have the saws available for you. Once you bring your tree home, you'll need a stand. I had an old stand, 4 screws that tighten around the tree. The tree I purchased from Carter Christmas Tree Farm had a thicker trunk. I had to run to Ace Hardware and purchase a new stand. Carter Christmas Tree Farm sells wreathes for your front door as well as other items needed to decorate your house for Christmas. Thanksgiving weekend is when we like to decorate, if your in the area I highly recommend Carter Christmas Tree Farm for your next freshly cut Christmas tree. *Next year I'm getting a tree with a root ball so I can re plant the tree on my property.

First, let me say that the hubby and I have had a real tree for the last 12 years. We have had them…read morein California, New Jersey and Rhode Island. (Husband is military) We have NEVER had this problem... SO MANY SPIDERS. Dude who left that review was not exaggerating. It wasn't just one or two. My husband thought I was crazy at first...until we woke up the next morning and there were little spiders EVERYWHERE. Obviously they aren't going to hurt us or anything but I have three little kids and I don't want them decorating a tree infested with spiders. I don't know if it's this place or the area, but might be buying a fake tree this year. We put the tree in our backyard. That's where it will live. The one star is for the actual experience of going to the farm and cutting down the tree. That was the best part. Bummer

I'm not sure why the negative reviews! Honestly, Ging's deserves 5 stars. I've been coming out…read moreto this area my entire life, spending my summers in sound beach. I've always known about Ging's, as it's been there for many many decades, but the last time I was there was when I was a child. I decided to do some landscaping at my summer house, and was looking for a specific type of ornamental grass. After trying all the big box stores as well as garden dept on 112, I stopped at Ging's. I was blown away. Ging's nursery was one of the best nurseries I've ever been to. Their selection, quality, neatness, and health of the plants was the best I've ever seen. Every plant they had, had cards written out with the price and key description of what the plant is like..... the prices were the same if not less than any other place too. The staff was helpful, and so friendly. Left with three huge grasses, 5 smaller ones, and 5 lavender plants, all for under $320. You should definitely check them out!

I explained that & asked what kind of ornamental grass it was ? Ignored . My intention was to purchase about 20 of the ornamental grass that I asked about . So I continued to the cashier to pay for only 4 tomato plants. Explained the situation & she said sorry & he's the owner (lol) she was probably his wife as I was told from a customer at the next nursery down the road which was better priced and good customer service. I was shocked that the cashier @ Powers didn't ask me to show her what my interest was . Oh well , not going there anymore and I'm certainly spreading the word .
