Comments regarding Milaeger's Gardens

I was given a fifty dollar gift certificate .It was thrown out by mistake; when advising Milaeger's of this was told they keep no records of gift certificates and had no way to check if certificate had already been redeemed and refused to issue another I find this an incompetent way to do business. Not great for public relations either.

Just read responses on this famous old catalog company. Knew they were supplying Garden.com but so sad to see so many people's experience with them has seemingly been ruined by the internet alliance with Garden.com. The locals who visit the Racine nursery are really no help to me--I live in Vermont. And this catalog was ALWAYS a mainstay of my gardening. Mostly, their selection of natives was always far and away the best for a wildflower gardener, which I am. I am now going to Garden.com, and SEE if I can get anywhere near the same quality and selection. It is so hard to plow through the "tea and cookie, garden party, and straw hat" silliness on that site, I usually just close it and forget it. They do a terrible job of reaching hardcore gardeners. I understand their pressure from Wall Street, but that doesn't help my gardening needs.
