Customer Reviews
"I'd like to thank you again for all the assistance before and during our visit. It was a great experience. Customer service was exceptional. The selection and quality of plants was outstanding. The plants I bought were very healthy and have done well since I got them home. The root systems were in excellent condition, much better than I've seen at a lot of garden centers by July and August. I had a clump of daylilies dug up from the field, and we've enjoyed some beautiful blooms since getting it planted here. I wish that more businesses offered the same kind of exceptional experience. P.S. The lunch recommendation was great, too. Kramer's Kitchen is a winner. "

"When my friend asked me if I would like to meet her at your nursery I had no idea what I was in store for. STUNNING is all I can say! We had a wonderful afternoon even though it was 100 degrees."

"I received my daylily order today in perfect condition. I wanted to express my thanks for the prompt shipment and careful packaging! The fans are of nice size, too. I am redoing an existing daylily bed and the new daylilies I purchased will give it an improved bloom time. Your daylily pictures and detailed information on each one helped me find what I needed. "
