I went and the private, garden club, offerings were more reasonably priced. I got several herbs for a dollar. Some heirloom tomatoes and peppers for 2 dollars each. Some annuals were average. The shrubs were very expensive but I knew that going in--there was a list w/prices on their web site. I got everybody settled in the garden and they seem happy. I noticed that many people were just looking and not buying. There was a big crowd on Saturday.
