what do people think of logees

am thinking of placing large order of tropical plants from logees- their plants are very small- only 2 inch pots but are very reasonable- only $10 each.

what do you guys think of logees

I personally love Logee's- their plants are small, but I know if I have any questions I can just ask, and I'll get good answers- from employees and from other shoppers. I've had good luck with the majority of plants I purchased from them. I'd lost a few to my own human error (I don't do well with shade plants...), but I still have some from my first trip- March of 2005.
I am fortunate to have visited their incredible store quite a few times over the past three years- it takes me over an hour to get there, but it's so worth the day trip! If you do have to have your plants shipped, I would recommend two day air; they'll come to you beautifully packaged!
I have been too busy to get out there in person, but recently I needed my Logee "fix", so I had my plants sent to me. I have another wish-list going, and if I can't get across CT myself, I'll pay to have them shipped two day air again. It's totally worth it to me.
I hope you give them a try! Happy shopping!!!

Hi
Have not bought from them in several years due to the price.. Very small plants.
They do have some hard to locate types
For rare types I like Glasshouseworks ,Kartuz ,oR World plants. Rare flora. Though I seldom buy mail order there are soooo many local sources. gary

Thanks for your interest. Here's the "magnolia" floral fabric. It looks like magnolias in person, and less green. It's called "Diva Mist" and I think it's been discontinued, but I bought extra yardage. So I have an english roll arm chair in that fabric. It's kind of a big chair, and the print is "flamboyant", as my son said. To be honest, it is a bit much, but we've got it now, and once I throw some pillows with that fabric around, it'll pull things together. Hopefully. The two sofas are neutral and pale colored and luckily look really good with it. I'm trying to figure out what to do about the 2 chairs in the corner. Should they be the same as each other or different? Should I just stay with the taupe ones I already bought? This is what I'm asking myself. I'll always feel like I'm settling if i do keep them. If we're spending $$ on furniture now, I might as well get something I love. As far as the Studio line of RA goes, you make a good point. It is a lot cheaper, so I should wonder about the quality. It's sold only at their "retail locations", I was told. As far as I can tell, these are online only. The stores haven't even heard of them. Has anyone seen a chair similar to the Blanford chair by another manufacturer? As I said, I am a bit wary of making another online chair purchase. Personally, and maybe I'm crazy, but the comfort doesn't matter to me as much as the way it looks. There are plenty of other places people can sit. I like the look of the Blanford chair, and have seen very similar ones in English magazines. (I've also seen lots of weird chairs that I don't like, but I do like this a lot.) Unfortunately, I think I'm the kind of person who needs to see something in person before knowing if I'll like it....

tag say.. whatever the guy or woman who wrote the tag wants them to say .... subject to how many they made at printing .. i once asked a hosta wholesaler ... why a certain tag said something neither of us believed ... i seem to think.. they werent his tags .. and he said.. probably because.. 20 years ago.. they printed a half million of them.. or some such .. and they were still getting rid of the old ones .... as you note.. those are not 10 year estimates ... nor 20 year ... as i grew up on a street with sycamore .. plane.. let me suggest.. that one is closer to a 50 year estimate ... as are the oak est's the redbud is about a 20 year est ... IF IT SHOULD LIVE THAT LONG ... one about that size.. came with the house .. and collapsed a few years later ... due to inherent weaknesses ... there is no industry standards ... and that is the base problem ... ken

After teaching the Myers Briggs personality tests for many years, your personality type, PLUS life experiences and influences = who you are and how you act and react. You can take the tests on-line to see which one of the 16 personalities you are. As they say in "Please Understand Me" Character & Temperament Types - by David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates - "Different drums, different drummers." Any number of diseases, conditions, surgeries (like open heart or brain surgery), chemical imbalances, chronic pain, as well as medications and any number of things, can alter or change people to a certain extent. Most people with strong personality traits (such as thinker, judger), which are sometimes misconstrued as negative, pessimistic, or cynical because they see things as black and white, with little that is gray, will mellow as they age, but you don't change them entirely. Those personality types are just as important as any other because we each bring something different to the table, so to speak.

I save all plastic bags and give them to my sister to crochet mats for the homeless. She can use any that's he can cut loops out of including toilet paper ones if you open the ends instead of tearing down the side. I takes 5 or 600 bags to make one mat. she can also use dry cleaning bags, .like I said it would be any cylindrical bags. The mats are 6 ft long and 2 1/2 feet wide and have a carrying handle and loops to hold them together when they carry them. I save bread bags. I use those for all kinds of things. I guess o got that from my DM. I have just started using worn out socks for rags. My DH goes through socks fast. I use single slippers for on my Swiffer. I saved the bottom part of my old litter box and cleaned it up really good and use that for soaking clothes in OXy CLean. I also save twisty ties. I have some of those nut jars too. Mine had fruit in them at the restaurants I cooked at. Here is the big one. I save almost all of the glass jars that I get. I use them for canning. If they have the rubber inside of the lid they work. I like the small ones, so if I want to give something to somebody They don't have to return the jar. I always make pickled beets and give some away. I boil the lids just like I would Kerr or Ball lids and fill the jars and screw them on tight. I had one jar that wouldn't work once because the lid wouldn't tighten. It just kept turning. I just made sure I used that one first. then I threw it away. I also put other things in them

I love Logees. I agree, however, that their plants are generally small. But, I have never had a problem growing any of the ones I've bought. I have also bought from Glasshouseworks, Plant Delights and Kartuz....all are great. Plant Delights even follows up by phone to make sure you received your order and are happy with it.

Logees used-to be quite reasonably priced, but for a few years they have been fairly expensive. The plants are small but of excellent quality.

I think they are very overpriced for what you get. I haven't bought from them in years and much prefer Zone 9 Tropicals, Gardino Nursery, Kartuz and Caldwell Nursery as well as a few others.

I like them for some harder to find plants. Thier plants are small though, but sometimes I find smaller plants adjust better than larger plants. If you don't require immediate gratification (blooms right away) sometimes the smaller ones do better if they are in good health to start with. With some slower growing plants like some variegates, it may also be better to start out with a larger plant. I have only had one plant from Logees die and it was replaced immediately.

Nice photos. The Miner's Claim I got from them last month is doing great, and has actually grown about an inch.
