"There was a shopping mall Now it's all covered with flowers…read moreNow, it's nothing but flowers" (The Talking Heads) We wanted to plant some flowers around our mailbox, and ended up at Coward Farms to see what we could come up with. It was my first visit, and I was amazed at the thousands of varieties of stunningly colorful annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, and more. Rows and Rows of beautiful flowers everywhere. We ended up buying four flats of pretty pink and purple perennials @ $2.95/flat. The Raspberry Parfait Dianthus will really beautify our mailbox. They also have a store with all sorts of home decor and furnishings. Note that Coward Farms is open during the year in three distinct time periods - Spring from May 1st - July 3rd, Fall from Sept. 1st - Oct. 31st and Christmas -starting the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Coward's always has every plant I am looking for - even newer Proven Winner breeds that the nurseries around me here in CT don't carry....AND, at a fraction of the price! The prices are amazing! And thank you to all the helpful staff who are always willing to answer my questions, give me advice, and at one point, even direct me to a competitor's nursery for a late-in-the-season plant they were temporarily out of. Coward's is a class-act business

What more can I say about Pat than she is absolutely the most devout, talented nurserywoman I've…read moreever met. Her ability to grow and propagate defies normal logic, and it's a privilege to know her. Her perennials are unlike any other I've grown, always returning, better and better each year. She babies her plants to the point of natural perfection, with an eye towards branching and seasonal success, which never disappoints. Pat, you are stellar! Thank you!!

The home-made Christmas Wreaths are so wonderful here! They sell pretty quick!

Please do not use A Woman's Touch in North Granby/Windsor, CT. That's as nice as I can say it…read more After receiving a quote for leaf removal, hedge trimming, and pachysandra trimming, we received 4.5 hours of leaf cleanup and the full bill. When my wife tried to contact them through Facebook there was no response. Only a couple weeks later did we get this: "Since somehow I cant communicate you through my page anymore for some reason... I HAVE NOT RECEIVED my $600 that is owed to me! We did exactly what you asked and what was expected of us and if I do not receive my payment by FRIDAY you will be getting a certified letter in the mail I can either take you to court or put a mechanical lien on your home..There needs to be communication and I need to get paid. This is not a hobby this is a business." This is not a response that a business gives when we were the ones who tried to start the dialogue. We will pay their full quote, but let anyone who is looking for yard service know who NOT to use. They should think of their business as more of a hobby. That's the level of service and professionalism you get. We had leaf removal quotes for half the price of A Woman's Touch. In the end that's all they did. Please do not use.

They offer German white hardneck garlic, seed garlic, garlic bulbs, and garlic braids. The farm stand is in an old tobacco barn. I went a couple times and thought it was awesome. The prices were great and they had a huge variety of produce. One time, they posted on social that the flowers were free to pick. If you love fresh produce and supporting a small business, I highly recommend.

"This is the end Beautiful friend…read moreThis is the end Of our elaborate plans, the end" (The Doors) The Garlic Farm's season will end on October 12th, when their doors will be closed for the winter and reopen in the spring. But the end of their season comes with a fantastic bonus for anyone that can get over to West Granby before October 12. That bonus is as many flowers as possible that you can cut and take home from their acres of flower farms. For Free. We saw people out there today with shopping bags, and laundry baskets scooping up their share of gorgeous flowers. Although some of the flowers (especially the sunflowers were way past peak), rest assured there were a ton of gorgeous fresh flowers representing every color of the rainbow still available. We cut and took home enough to fill three vases, of which we kept one and donated the other two to the local Senior Center to brighten the desks of two administrators. So, if you are in the area and have a hankering for some free flowers, set your navigation system to West Granby and enjoy. Just do it before October 12.
