I am a long time Bluestone customer, but last fall several people here or on the Cutflower forum were raving about Chrysanthemum 'Emperor of China'. I searched everywhere and found it at a reasonable price at the Flower Scent Gardens. I was a bit skeptical about ordering from someone I had not heard of, but some of you highly recommended this grower.
My 'Emperor of China' arrived yesterday without fanfare. There should have been a reception line and a big parade for the Emperor! Wow....I have never received a larger and healthier looking plant for $3.50 each! Bluestone, move over!
This is a very small grower, though..a one man operation. I think he has only one greenhouse. He does everything himself, does not have a fancy catalog, but every entry is lovingly described. His love for plants really showed in the plants and package he mailed.........which is exceptional. And a fellow composter will appreciate his packaging; he stuffed the box with shredded newspaper and he recycled his shipping box!
I'll have to hunt down his catalog and send him an email.
Here's the address:
Flower Scent Gardens
14820 Moine Rd.
Doylestown, OH 44230-9744
Phone & Fax: (330) 658 5946
E-mail address: fsg@brightdsl.net
I wish I had more room. I will definitely order from him again.

| I think I've heard of this place before in the Accessible Gardening Forum. I'm planning a Sensory Garden and it sounds like I need to give this guy some business. Does he have a web site? |

Yes, he does. I forgot about it.
I don't know how to post a link, but here it is: www.flowerscentgardens.com I just checked the Gardenwatchdog. He received raving comments there too. So I added my comments as well. Highly recommended. Good luck. |
