They carry a terrific selection of heirloom vegetable seedlings (including several of the tomato varieties featured in Carolyn Male's 100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden), a wide range of herbs, and some edible/companion flowers; all the seedlings I purchased have done very well (the sungold cherry tomato plants are actually attempting to take over the garden as I type this). Their plant list, available for download at their website, is detailed and informative (and helped me plan my purchases so that I didn't end up impulse-buying too many seedlings!). |

All plants are packed with great care and arrive in perfect condition. The plants are very good sized, strong and healthy. I have been absolutely thrilled with their selection, friendly service and excellent quality plants. Everything I've ordered has produced exceedingly well every year in my Massachusetts garden. I am a customer for life! On April 27th, 2006, MarianneJounam added the following: I am devastated to learn that they are no longer in the mail-order business as of 2006. |

Positive | lawnjockey (2 reviews) | On Jan 3, 2003, lawnjockey wrote: First off, my experiences were in-person, not mail order. On January 3rd, 2003, lawnjockey added the following: I checked their website and thought it only fair to point out that their handling charge seems pricey, as is the catalog($3). They do not fall into my "cheap gardening" criteria as a mail-order company, but the plants were nice in person at the nursery. |

I live within driving distance and so try to pilgrimage out there each spring but I also receive their catalogue. It's full of various types of herbs and informational. From personal purchasing experience, I can tell you they sell quality potted plants, which have always done well for me. I hope some folk try them out and place feedback here. |
