This is the only gardening place I will ever go to as long as I live in Nebraska! Cool stuff: they sell 6-packs, single beers, and wine there… and they let you drink while you shop. Perfect for when my husband tags along for one of the 13 excursions I’ve made there since we moved here in March.(You should see my garden, though… baller status) They have free popcorn that you can snack on while you shop, too! The quality of the seeds and starter fruits/veggies is unbeatable. The staff knows everything there is to know about everything, and if they don’t know it, they will point you towards someone who does. I was having a problem with a raspberry bush I bought there early in the season, and they told me if it didn’t get better after trying their tips within the next month or so, to bring it right back and exchange it for another one. A lady named Sheila gave me her card and told me to come find her personally. Well… I tried her tips(and unwrapped the bush from the rubber bands that had been choking the greenery off) and everything got better. The #1 reason my garden is as great as it is this season is because of the helpful people here. They also have a weigh station, if you ever need to weigh your car(military approved!).

This place is a great way to spend a fall day. In addition to the landscaping things for purchase, which I need admit I didn’t really look at. They are an orchard with TONS of dwarf apple trees with many different flavors. The staff that work here are as sweet as can be. At the farmers market, last year, she would give me a free apple every time she saw me and was so helpful when I came to buy apples. You can save a HECK of a lot of money coming here. I go at least once a year now to purchase a box of apples for about $ 50. Expensive you say? No not really, considering I weighed my last box and got almost 60 pounds of apples for less than $ 1.00 a pound. If you’re not into buying that much they do sell apples for $ 2.00lbs, slightly more expensive than the grocery store, but folks I promise you won’t have a quality apple like this from the grocery store. I was able to make a year supply of applesauce, juice, and apple powder for $ 50. Heck of a deal. I brought my foster kids here and thanks to the trees being so short they were able to enjoy picking. My advice to the owners would be to give out little wagons for folks purchasing a big box. Once it gets half full it’s hard to carry. By the end we were dragging it. If/when you go, try the candy crisp apples and the cortland. They will blow your mind and thankfully they’re almost ready to be picked. Dear mother nature… I am so patiently waiting!

My kids have been begging to return here o they can pick more apples. It was a wonderful and delicious way to spend a few hours tasting and picking apples. The trees are what they call ‘dwarf trees’, short enough so anyone can pick their delicious apples.

This place is pretty close to where I live, so I’ve been in a few times –and every season so far. For the spring/summer, their selection is quite nice; it is an actual nursery so don’t come here expecting walmart prices on flowers. Their customer service is pretty keen on helping you find what you need or giving you solid info for gardening/landscaping needs. In the fall they have a great little selction of pumpkins and flowers, also apple picking(which is on my list to do). Their trees are younger looking, but seeing as I drive by everyday– those trees produce a pretty darn good amount of delicious looking apples. I actually bought my last Christmas tree here– and was quite happy with my purchase; again it’s not Baker’s or Walmart– so their tree selection is pretty diverce and unique. I spent around $ 60 but I did get a bigger tree– and it smeeled absolutely wonderful. They had quite a few more reasonably priced, and even around the same time; but since this was a speacail«let’s go to an actualy tree lot and pick one out together» type of event… being budget conscious wasn’t the goal. Inside the store they have alot of cute décor for purchase, local ciders carried year round, and some beer/wine from the local area which I think is pretty cool. I’ve picked up the raspberry cider and apple– both are good enough for me to keep going back for purchase a few times a year. Anyway, long story short– this is a great area nursery that’s not monster big like Lanoha or Muhalls… and also doesn’t have the big nursery price tags either.

We bought rocks from this place for my rock garden. Their prices aren’t too bad! We bought a whole truckload of rocks too! Their staff is very friendly and if you want flowers and trees, they have lots and lots of those too!
