Just a note to say that I have been spending my cool New England nights dreaming at your web site and planning my summer garden. Finally spring arrives and I arrived at Connor Farms in Danvers today to fulfill my garden fantasy. The Annuals were as beautiful as they looked on the computer screen and thanks to your container recipes I knew just what I needed. The inventory at Connor Farms was perfect (and I drove by 5 other garden centers to ensure I found a Proven Winners retailer). I am delighted with the quality of your plants and retailers. Thank you!
