Newbury Perennial Gardens & Nursery

Well the nursery area and garden are pretty with butterflies and birds and chipmunks all around BUT if you actually want to buy flowers then this is NOT the place to go. The prices were high to say the least with most being nearly double what they would cost anyplace else even at another higher priced nursery, and some of the more common plants Lowe's or Home Depot would have were TRIPLE what they'd cost there and in smaller pots. They were also overpotting their plants in many instances, with little plants lost in giant pots apparently to charge more for them. The selection was decent but nothing you couldn't find elsewhere. It is rare that I walk out of a nursery empty handed but this was one of those times. With $4 a gallon gas I would not recommend making the trip.
