Here is one of the gardens they have
This area was a huge square with a gazebo in the center. They grow veggies in this garden.
Here is the gazebo, you can see the corn and other veggies growing. Neat layout.
I bought this phlox when I was there...but I don't think it lived!!! I am not happy about that!
Here is Deborah with her grand daughter Debbie Jo. She was the highlight of the day...she is full of personality! She is eating fresh blackberries we picked.
Here is some of the gang. Left to right: Shirley, Deborah, Courtney and Debbie Jo, Ramona, and my mom...The Dirt Queen. We were all extremely HOT and SWEATY at this point! I hope to go back soon and I will take more photos of the entire place. Ya'll will love it. So if you are ever on I-65 between Birmingham and Montgomery...hop off on Exit 219 and visit Petals...it is right off of the interstate.

I will do just that! I haven't been to Alabama in a few years but would love to see this nursery. I think it was the owner who came to Nashville and did a program for our PPS. Debbie Jo is a cutie.
That looks like a fun place! I can't believe there are fresh blackberries there now! We won't have them until the end of August.
Did you buy anything? :)
Fun fun! I love visiting garden centers online. And in person.
I've been there twice this year already. It is a great nursery and the best place to find heirloom roses.
Tina - You should definitely make a pit stop there! Well worth it
Catherine - We don't have blackberried yet...sorry these photos were actually taken last June! I bought my blueberry bush from there though! I do have that same type of blackberry bush growing in my yard. It is thornless
K & V - I love to visit them as well...so many good ones to visit!
Phillip - I am jealous you have already been! They have such a great selection of roses. Have you ordered their catalog? This is their first year to put one out. It had tons of heirloom roses in it
That place looks awesome!
Hey, how far do you live from Fairhope? I'm coming down there for a meeting Thursday night. Unfortunately I have to leave Friday morning. Haven't you written about Fairhope having pretty flowers before?
Ginger - I live maybe 30-40 minutes from Fairhope. Thursday as in THIS Thursday? What time is your meeting? The Garden Club meeting is at my house Thursday...you could come be my guest ;)
It looks like a wonderful place to visit.Debbi Jo is such a cutie!The phlox is beautiful.
I would love to own a place like that. Thanks for sharing your trip.
Just loved looking at all the photos. Have a blessed Easter. Blessings,Kathleen
It looks like you have so much fun. That kind of place is not 'too' large, just big enough to look around, find what you'd like, and enjoy yourself at the same time. My kind of place!! I haven't taken garden trips with anyone other than hubby yet...but I've actually met a few garden bloggers that live fairly close to me, and we've talked about getting together. I think that would be fun.
I'd love to have some fresh blackberries...that's something we get at the farmers market or grocery store (rarely though) Happy Spring;-)
