Calloway’s Nursery

Big Fail! Ordered Christmas Tree day after Thanksgiving. Soonest delivery date available was December 10. Paid someone to wait at my house for three hours and the tree never came. Called Calloways and the delivery driver said he got lost on his earlier appointment and wouldn’t be there till later in the evening. Person I paid couldn’t wait so guess what no tree. Go to get a refund and I’m told that I have to wait on a corporate check even though my check cleared my bank for days ago! They have seriously lost a customer!

Beautiful Christmas trees! Yes, their prices are higher than what you might find at Home Depot or Lowe’s, but the quality is outstanding. Last year we spent about $ 60 on our Christmas tree from a tree farm. We struggled to keep it watered, the needles turned brown quickly, and we were constantly picking up needles off the floor. This year we spent about $ 120 at Calloway’s. The tree we selected was gorgeous, full, and perfectly shaped. We kept it in the stand that they provided and we’ve only had to water the tree once in the past month. The needles are all still green, and I haven’t seen a single needle on the floor. Here is it NYE, and I don’t want to take my tree down. It’s still so beautiful! Next year, I plan to go back for another tree, and will probably put it up earlier so that I can enjoy it a little longer.
I will be going back to Calloway’s this summer, when I get ready to build a succulent garden!

So overpriced. Shame on me for not doing more research before I went shopping! That being said– there are some gorgeous plants that may be pricey– but you can’t get the quality anywhere else. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. I like the cactus amd succulents section here better than anywhere else. It’s huge!

I’m not the biggest fan of this place, mainly because I like to grow things I can eat. I went here in the fall to see what they had available. They’d run out of fall vegetables, even though it was early in the season.
They had an okay selection of vegetable seeds but no bulk section, which was also a bummer.
They did have ornamental cabbages, though. It’s too bad that they were potted in soils that aren’t organic and perhaps even doused in chemical pesticides/​fertilizers that I wouldn’t want to eat.
Is it too much to ask for an ornamental cabbage that also makes a good organic stir fry? I don’t think so, because I found it at another garden place in town.
