| I am wondering what your favorite garden center is. What do you like best about it & where is it located.
Mine is Mileagers in Racine, WI. Beautiful plants, big selection, including many unusual perennials and herbs.
How about you all?.......... |

| Prairie Nursery in Wisconsin and Prairie Moon in Minnesota are excellent native plant mail order nurseries. Both have beautiful catalogues and good web sites. Also a lot of midwest species are sold by ShootingStar Nursery in Kentucky. I have ordered from all and have found the quality and service to be excellent. |

| Milaegers is my favorite too. The 1st time I went there, I told my hubby 'this is where I want my ashes spread, this is Heaven!". LOL!! Another one that is really good is Wayne's Daughters. It's just a little north of Milaegers on hwy 32. Though not quite as big as Milaeger's, they have a great selection and the prices are good too. I believe they just opened this place up this past summer. They have another one in (I think) the town of Raymond just west of I-94. If I remember right, it's not as big as the one on hwy 32. Kat |

| Hi again. Country Gardens is amazing, too. Located near Ashippun, WI Take I-94 west to Hwy 16 N Drive to the end (runs into Oconomowoc), to the 2nd Hwy P exit (north). Go right on Hwy P to Hwy K. Take a left. Drive about 1\4-1\2 mile, take right on Mcmahon Rd. Drive for awhile(4 miles?), cross Hwy 67 (not labeled), cross Pennsylvania St. You should see a sign just past crossing. It is about 4 doors after Penn. St.on the left side.
Large variety of perennials & grasses, absolutely beautiful plants. They have lovely display gardens, too. Near Decorah. IA, look for Willow Glen. Awesome!! Large variety of perennials--many hard to find, different types of willows for basket making. Beautiful garden layouts. ...and it is very close to the Seed Saver's place, just off the same road. |

| My favorites are Monches just to the NW of Milwaukee and the flower factory South of Madison. The flower factory is a must see. Thousands of different hybrids and plants you just won't see anywhere else. Unfortunately no web site. |
