All of them are a nice size and doing very well. This was my first visit to the nursery and I found it very easy to go through and well laid out. They don't seem to have a display garden but I wasn't there to look at gardens, I was there to shop for hostas. I got all that were on my wish list plus a bunch more. I have ordered from Frida's online in the past and those hostas have all done fine as well. Their website is a lot easier to navigate than it was a couple of years ago and that's probably the way I'll do most of my shopping with them from now on. And I will be shopping with them again. |

I sent an email asking about their policy on their plants, and although it took a while, I got a response from them. They explained that the Lakeside Black Satin is a very unstable plant, and they didn't even sell it this year. I received a gift certificate for the lost plant. I will definitely use it on my next trip to Gardentown! I agree that Hornbakers is worth the drive if you want to see beautiful gardens and a nice selection for plants. But, I always go to Gardentown USA because they have a very nice selection of hostas. They may not have the surroundings that Hornbakers has, but I go for the hostas, not the atmosphere! And I always come home with several that are on my list. I don't think that this company will be going out of business for a long time! I'll continue to shop there for my hostas. |

This was the first time the problem was addressed either by email or phone, I have doubled checked all email and deleted email to make sure we didn't miss it. Our policy is to replace hostas or perennials for up to one year with proof of purchase or receipt. We will replace the hostas in question, no problem. We are a great company that loves hostas and perennials. We will take care of our customers. We are here for the long haul. We are sorry for any inconvenience this caused rita. And we are sorry this misunderstanding was made public before we became aware of the problem. |

My family and I consider it a gem and an annual stop on our spring gardening shopping trips. On May 1st, 2005, gardenruth added the following: Here in Davenport, we just have to make it through a couple more cold nights and we will be home free. Have spent time the last two weekends here at Gardentown and have my improvements for this year's garden all planned and ready to go. The quality of the hostas remains impeccable and the selection in daylillies is truly impressive. Now that I have a plan, and new plants, can't wait to start digging! |

Honest, hard-working, down to earth people. They offer about 700 different hostas. It is an old, established operation that German immigrants began on this site over 100 years ago. New ownership about 3 years ago has made tremendous improvements and modernization. |
