Picked up my annuals from Ruhlig Farm & Gardens this year -- mostly petunias -- and out of the four…read moregreenhouses we visited around Metro Detroit, this one easily had the best selection. The greenhouse itself is huge, well organized, and surprisingly easy to shop despite how much they have. I'd honestly love to see what the selection looks like even earlier in May, though planting too early in Michigan always feels a little risky. Prices felt very fair too, especially compared to some of the hanging basket and planter prices at local markets and pop-ups. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to.

Somewhere mid-summer, they move more into their indoor farm market, where they offer fresh seasonal produce, bakery and some dairy goods. It's fun to stop in and see what's offered!

This will be the second year I started coming here. I was told about Alexander's from several…read morepeople so they must be doing something right. They have a nice selection of plants, herbs and vegetables. One big thing I did notice this year was that they dropped the cell size of the vegetable saplings from 4 to 3 but the price stayed the same $1.99. A lot of places are still charging the same price for a 4 cell so keep that in mind. The plants looked really healthy this year so far. I love their Salad Bowls. I always pick up 2 or 3. It's great having access to fresh lettuce everyday. I also came looking for a couple Lemon Cypress trees. Sadly they don't carry them so that was a bit of a disappointment. We did leave with some herbs and vegetable plants though. TIP: Get here early in the season... The plants that they have in the first week or two of opening are a great deal for their size, a large 4" tomato plant will cost you less than $3.
