A Suggestion

If you should be in the vicinity of Peru, Indiana, I highly recommend that you look for Garden Gate Nursery. I’ve been visiting this nursery for years on my annual visit to my sister, and they have wonderful plants! The variety is excellent, and the plants are healthy and strong.
What makes me tell you about them is not the quality of their plants, but their generosity of spirit. While I was there, I dropped my cell phone in their parking lot and left without realizing my loss. When we returned to Illinois the next day, there were two messages from them on my answering machine, asking me to call to determine what to do about the phone.
When I called, I asked if they would mail the phone to me. The owner took my name and address, and then made a sound of understanding when he realized I live in the Chicago suburbs. It was going to be difficult for me to get back to them the next day. I offered my credit card number to cover the cost of postage and handling, but he refused it! They wrapped the phone in bubble wrap and placed it in a Priority Mail box and sent it off. It arrived safely two days later.
So, I am pleased to let you know about this company, and hope that you will have the chance to visit with them. I’m sure you will enjoy the visit, and the plants you purchase, as well.

  1. I plan to be out at the greenhouse this week. I’ve copied your blog entry and will share it with Marlin and Del. I know they’ll appreciate it. Is there anything I can get for you while I’m there?
    btw – glad were up and running again.

  2. Hm….Maybe two six packs of white alyssum, if they have it. I love Garden Gate, and really wish I lived close enough to wander through it on a regular basis. What are you going to get this trip?
