Milaeger's

Garden store on the more high priced range, but their plants always perform!Their little cafe is also clean and the people working there are super nice. Good price on coffee with great taste. Lots of things to peruse and you could easily spend hours in here just shopping. And you'd find some awesome local deals and pretty things.

They had hellebores! And a number of different ones! Huzzah!! Staff was very helpful- and it seemed like there was a music event in the other section. I didn't check it out- but sounded fun. The only issue was the wait for checkout was LONG.

If you love green things and pretty petals, go here. Make it a destination. Go on Sundays for music and food and farmers market! Just go. Go get flowered!

After the recent snowfall in spring, I needed a little pick me up and going to Milaegers and seeing all their beautiful flowers did just that. Not only is their greenhouse huge, their outdoor area is a good place to get some landscaping ideas for the home. The employees are very knowledgeable and helped us find some shrubs that won't be dinner for the deer. After wandering around outdoors, head inside to the cafe to get a snack.

I've seen the commercials for years and didn't know what to expect but I thought it would be huge. It reminded me of a local competitor only a little more expensive than I remember. Didn't really get a lot of attention from staff and walked in A pretty quiet store. I can check it off my list as having seen it is all.

Excellent response time on call, terrible response time on their lack of tools and people to do the job. It took TWO days to figure out they didn't have people to move trees, nor any tools to cut them up with.

Milaeger's opened their outdoor Farmers' Market for the season on Sunday, but there were no farmers yet. There were a several food and craft/jewelry vendors, so we spent most of our time exploring the store itself. It was my first time there, and I was expecting it to be more of a garden center. I would say that is definitely the focus, but there other items as well for indoor décor, gifts, and accessories. The selection of plants and flowers is very impressive! It's seriously massive! I don't have time to take care of living things, so there was no point in me making any purchases, but my friend was snapping photos for ideas and reminders of items to come back for when she is ready to start her garden. This is a very cool store, and I might come back later this year to see the full blown Farmers' Market in action when produce is available, but I could see how people can get "trapped" in the store with so much to look at.

If you are familiar with and a fan of the town of Geneva in the Western suburbs of Chicago then this is the place for you up yonder North. :-) It is like all the fun & cute boutiques of Geneva, IL in one giant marketplace in Racine, WI. You could do gift shopping for yourself and many folks on your gift list all at Milaeger's. Boutique clothing, unique housewares and decor, scented soaps, candles, Christmas and seasonal decorations, cards and gift packaging...not to mention the giant greenhouses and outdoorsy stuff like bird feeders, wreaths, lawn decor, etc. Their greenhouse beauties are something to behold, for sure. And around Christmastime they have so many lovely arrangements of greenery, poinsettias and trees...you just have to see it to believe it.Some things can be quite pricey but there are inexpensive finds and deals to be had as well. They also have a small snack shop with bottled sodas/water, coffees and some food to tide you over as you spend hours wandering through all their aisles.They have a farmer's market on Sundays (I think from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.). with a variety of vendors of artisan foodstuffs, fruits/veggies, prepared foods/drink (a Bloody Mary bar! Yes, please!) It is my understanding it is year-round...but check their website to be sure. We most recently went in November and it was all indoors at that point...less "farmer" stuff but still plenty of goodies on top of all their other treasures.

OMG a Bloody Mary bar on Sunday's to heighten your gardening experience, count me in!!! This is a HUGE garden center with absolutely everything you could possibly need and then some. They have your horticultural options covered for both inside and outside your home at very competitive pricing. You could literally complete a perfect backyard oasis at this one location alone with wood fired fireplace/pizza oven, comfy furniture for your deck, beautiful plants and flowers, herbs and vegetables, kitschy or refined lawn ornaments, in addition to a liter of premium booze and a few six packs of craft beer! There are even organic eggs to make your deviled egg apps to go with it! A great and vast selection of many different varieties of plants to choose from and I would recommend you check them out.

I will definitely buy my next Christmas Tree from Milaegers. My current tree lights were not working. They sent someone out the next day and they were able to get my tree working. Thank you and Merry Christmas
