Default Hirts garden -- near Cleveland

So you've actually been there?

There is anything around my area that is any more impressive than
Lowes......they do have an amazing selection and the lady told me that they
are all on display.

If not them...any other ideas? Chicago?

Would like to spend a day somewhere that's BIG.

I have seen a really interesting selection of plants and seeds from them

Ebay and thought about driving up there to look first hand.

About a 4 hour drive to get there.

Is anyone familiar witht them? Would it be worth the trip?


The live plants I've bought from them have been poor-quality. I'd
never drive 4 hours to buy there, although if you did you would at
least be able to inspect the merchandise before you buy, not have it
alternately rot or mummify in shipping, and not be subject to
receiving tons of catalogs from them under different names.
