ooo-shame on you Dori!! Teasing like that-well then that means I nee to take a Turs off here soon to come up and see you and go to this awsome place!!!
wish you could make it today!!!
I am hoping too!!:)
Well Dori knows her way around the growers!! it was a fun afternoon shopping with Dori and i got to see the beautiful garden again. I'll say it again Dori has green thumbs, fingers and toes!! And 2 of the prettiest babes (grand kids) you ever saw!! It was a blast..so much to see i could have stayed all day.
Thank You for sharing your discount with another Michiganite!!
I really appreciate it.
By the way y'all have to go to Dori's. The place is poppin' with garden art, statues, animals, gnomes, benches, seats, arches, trellises, globes, arbors, lights, innovative and surprising interesting details.
She is a garden force to be reckoned with! What an inside view I got of a formidable gardener.
That green house is invitingly placed in the middle of the garden and is so county/cozy!! I loved it.
You all have got to go! I hope you take the time to stop by. And Thank You again for sharing all your "stuff".

http://www.michiganpeat.com/commercial/planting_mixes.pdf
they have another that i think is even cheaper with a blue label high-density. NOT SURE on price
They have 2 kinds of germination mixes in 2.8 bags-no idea price
The 3.8 compressed bale was $18.something a bag
They have this kind too
http://www.premierhort.com/eProMix/
The 3.8 bale is $28.50
I cant remember what the 2.8 bag cost!
there are lots of prices in between
They have pots of all sizes and shapes
hanging baskets and hooks
I didnt see any there but they did have plastic 5 in tags
saw huge bags or rubber bands
He does sell plants but you have to have those preordered or a big order can be delivered
THIS IS A OLD POLEBARN BUILDING AND IS COLD RIGHT NOW!
They turn the heat on in the office area when they get there! It may be a bit warmer
when we do the group trip!
NOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHEN WHAT WHO AND WHERE! WINK WINK!
look like you guys had way to much fun !!!!
Cheryle
that was last yrs-this yr i made a quick dash for dirt!
we are going to plan a trip or two coming up!!!
great prices !!! I wish I lived closer !! can any one order and pick up from them?
are you gals thinking when you may want to do this??
I think i may need more pots
IM pretty sure anyone can order-just give them a call
Well heck, I go past that place all the time and never realized they were even open to the public. I also thought they only had greenhouses.
It's right next to the feed store right?
I live about 15 minutes away ..... north west of Capac.
Do you know the owner's last name ? It isn't Day is it?
Pretty sure the Days own the feedstore, and they have a wonderful greenhouse business a couple miles from me.
~Kathy
ken day! my maiden name! :)
Its on cass ave(whatever its called in munger) there isnt anything really next to its -its just a barn like thing!!
Hmmm ... so I guess it's not in downtown Capac near the railroad tracks? That's where the feed store is.
The Days are nice people to be sure, they have a son who is in my son's class .... they graduate this year.
Have you ever been to the greenhouse on "Brown City" Road ? It's open from spring to just before July 4th ..... they have a wonderful selection and great prices. Folks come from miles to get their hanging baskets and great selection of Coleus. So much more .....
My "city" sisters are always amazed at the prices and selection.
No this is not the nursery buisness
This is just a BARN out in munger where they have stuff and you
can have them bring stuff from the capac store to this barn(warehouse)
I have never been to the nursery!!
Ken is big into wrestling and we yak about that becuz my son was a wrestler!!
The place in Capac is the main place of business and the one in Munger is a branch.
i may need to go again-ive use 10 bags of Dirt already
so.....................................!
Dori
would you please help me put together a list> is there a list of
things I can order before you go? I can send you the money
ahead of time.
I will need pots, and peat and vermiculite and perlite, labels,
osmocoat, all sorts of stuff, if they have it. hanging baskets.
etc.
Thank you thank you thank you
Sheri
