If you are in Genesee County or close and don't have a favorite greenhouse, try Hall's Greenhouse. It's on Linden road south of Cook on the west side. Big Corporate Bordines is nearby, but Hall's is much better with pricing. My Mother has gone there for a few years and I wondered why since Bordines is so much bigger? Well, I went there today for the first time. Asked an employee (who ended up being Mr. Hall) about prices on his strawberry plants. He told me 79 cents per plant or $16 a flat (15 per flat). I went back and got 10 since I already had 5 and needed 15 total for the strawberry planter. When we got to the counter the total was over $26 and that wasn't right. Ended up the price he told me was for smaller plants, but he said he'd make me a deal and I got the plants at a dollar a piece. He has my business from now on just for doing that. NEVER would you get that at Bordines, Home depot, Meijer etc. Plus, I took a little stroll beyond the sales greenhouse and peeked at his operation. He has a bunch of greenhouses etc where he starts all the plants. I like supporting a man who is doing what I wish I could do instead of a company that trucks in their plants. Can't wait to go back with Mom when it's time to plant her garden.

I may be out that way in a couple of weeks when school is out if Jackie needs help moving stuff around. I will keep that in mind, thanks.
