J E Mussig Greenhouses

Let me start by saying I will never be a Unilocal regular here. I only come here once a year in May to buy flowers and I’ve done that for almost 20 years. I think that makes me a regular in non-​yelp land, though.
Their flowers are always spectacular! They have things you’d never find anywhere else and their prices are pretty fair. Higher than Walmart & Lowes but they have way better stuff.
I’m a green thumb kind of girl. I love being creative on my flowers and making something unique and pretty that I can really enjoy and be proud of all summer. It’s just fun for me and I get into it.
I’ve noticed the past 2 years that they are making up far more baskets, window boxes, and pre-​potted ready to go mixes of plants in pots. I’m sure this appeals to many people and they make more money selling their ready to take home & just add water mixes. Unfortunately, they are using their best basket starters for these and leaving far less for the adventurous gardener (aka me) to really work with. I walked the aisles of the greenhouse today looking at amazing plants I would have loved to buy but they were only available in a pre-​made grouping.
I’ve made wonderful baskets and pots in years past using their basket starters that I loved and I feel like I just got my wings clipped! As a result, Mussig’s got their 5 star review clipped to a 4. I really hope there’s more to choose from next year.
