For probably well over a year, I've gone to Burgess, browsed all the beautiful pictures of plants and trees, added hundreds of dollars worth to my Shopping Cart...and left it at that. I never could work up the nerve to place an order.
I recently began preparing a new flower bed, and of course, I turned to the Burgess site to daydream about what I could plant in my 2 x 20 foot-ish bed. I've had my eye on evergreen daylilies. There are so many different varieties with beautiful blooms and their foliage sticks around all year. Also, my garden-centric neighbor has had great luck with daylilies, and they tempt me each time I walk outside. Lucky for me, I found Dave's Garden to help me with my decision. There's a wealth of information on the site, but I was most pleased to find reviews of online nurseries. One quick search for Burgess and I found that, out of 348 gardener reviews, 243 of them are negative! That's astounding. Thanks Dave; I'll be un-bookmarking their site from my browser.
Although my bubble was burst, Dave didn't let me down; the site also has a list of the Top 30 best-reviewed online nurseries, of which Oakes Daylilies is one. Out of 243 reviews, 241 are positive for Oakes. That's pretty impressive. Even more pleasing to see is that the owner of the nursery responded to each of the 3 negative reviews, asking the reviewer to call him so he can make things right. Feeling good about taking my chances on Oakes, I placed an order for daylilies a few days ago, and I can't wait to get them!
