    Dinosaurs for your yard!
    John C.

    I went to Thompson's to buy a new bird bath to replace an old one that had been knocked over by a pair of raccoons. They had a solid selection and the customer service was excellent. Several employees approached me and asked if I needed help, and then when I did, they were easy to find (tip to the 1-star reviewers look for the people in the bright yellow reflective vests). I guess the only gripe that I have is the thompsonbldg.com site lists this location as closed, but it's most assuredly open...

    We were looking for a water fountain to add to our already existing Thompson's order of pavers. I knew nothing about fountains and that's when Ernesto came in to help me. He is very knowledgable about the different types of fountains and was able to guide me to the one that best fit our needs. He never rushed us or geared us towards a more expensive fountain... just straight up honesty, which I appreciated. The water fountain prices at Thompson's are very reasonable, even compared to what we found searching the web. Highly recommend a trip to Thompson's and if you're looking for a water fountain, do yourself a favor and ask for Ernesto!

    scalloped edgers for half the price HD wanted

    Great place to buy landscape elements like edgers, brick, stone, pavers, plus garden art: quite an assortment of fountains and Japanese "stone" lanterns, metal sculptures, plants, etc. The scalloped edgers I was looking for were about half the price HD wanted for them. You find what you need (ask any of the yard workers) and take a photo of the price sign, then go to the office to pay; once you have the receipt and order ticket you find a yard worker who will load the order, drive it to your vehicle and load it in. Be sure you take into account the weight of what you're ordering; many of the products are heavy, so don't load more than your vehicle's suspension can take!

    This place had hug selections of anything you want to build or remodel your home. I wish I had found it for prior projects but glad I found stuff for my small project. It was packed on Saturday morning and everything run smooth. I go around checking out the products that I wanted, took the picture of the price tag and info, brought into the office and paid for it. ONce done, go back outside and show the receipt to the person that worked they, they got the forklift, brought the products in the whole pallet to my car and I picked the one that I wanted and they helped loading them up.

    No contact or discounts so I go here when I can get what I need else where. They have a great selection but the prices are at a premium.

    Oak Park

    As I got older I developed this passion for small cactus plants-not sure where it came from,I…read moredidn't have it when I was in my 20s or 30s or my 40s but when I hit 50-those cute little plants started speaking to me in a way to I can now call my small cactus collection at home-a passion project.People in my life kinda make fun of me about but I don't care-when I see my ever growing collection of cactus at home each morning as I walk out the front door-they make me happy inside and for sure make me smile. Well you can imagine my happiness while at a Yelp event in Oak Park I saw next door there was an amazing looking nursery-I just knew I would have to make a return visit-well when I finally had the time,we headed to The Plant Foundry located at 3500 Broadway in Oak Park. This place is so cute-I haven't been to a ton of nurseries as I've generally picked up my cactus plants at random spots like a midtown market or a Trader Joe's or as gifts from people but I will say this was one of the cuter nurseries I've been to. When we arrived I walked around a bit to check out what they had to offer-what was in season and wondering where the cactus plants were. I liked this little sign they had in the middle of their nursery which advised everyone what was in season and what should be planted at this time of year-for a newbie green thumb person like myself-information like that is very helpful. After walking around a bit I decided on the cutest little cactus to add to my collection at home and it cost me $7.99,so cheap and my daughter decided to get a snow peas plant($7.49). In closing-if you ever find yourself in the Oak Park area and want to check out the cutest little nursery-I would 100% recommend The Plant Foundry for all your gardening needs-they have a really awesome business running out there-I like em and will be back.

    We visit the Plant Foundry a few times a year and always have a fun time browsing the seasonal…read moreofferings. This nursery is on the smaller size and not as overwhelming as some of the others in the area, and all the plants we've picked up here have been happy and have been great additions to our garden. I like that we've found consistent seasonal offerings as well as have been surprised with some fun plants we haven't seen elsewhere. The store inside is also fun to browse with both garden accessories, as well as gifts, fun items, and local things that someone with an interest in gardening would also enjoy. The staff is friendly and helpful and there's even sometimes a cute and friendly cat that's wondering around to greet guests. A great spot to browse while visiting Oak Park and a great spot to pick up seasonal plants or more longterm additions to your garden.
