I have often wondered why in the heck they call themselves Wayside in the
first place.

Because about 30 or more years ago, they were WAY out
in the country near Mentor Ohio, by the SIDE of the road.
They were a very good nursery, that then went out of business,
and Park's bought the Name. They had a good reputation back
then

I have family in that area and there are nurseries everywhere, including
Bluestone Perennials. I have been told that Wayside now gets some of their
stock from Springhill Nursery.

Oh, I'm glad that there are still nurseries out there and it's not all become
houses. I think I recall that the Wayside property did become a housing
subdivision(?) Bluestone was just getting started and was mail order only,
so I never got to buy any of their plants back then; I buy many of them
now that I'm in Calif.! LOL
There was a wonderful perennial nursery out on Plains Road in Mentor,
called Lohrey Floral Gardens. It was run by an elderly husband and wife
team. They had so many varieties planted in their large fields and would
go out and dig up the plants you wanted and wrap them up. You took
them home and planted them; everything grew so well.
