Hey Michiganders -- any good nurseries in Lansing?

8 years ago

Will be out in Lansing on business toward the latter end of April, figured I might as well fit in some nursery expeditions while I'm out there. I'll be traveling the I-96 corridor from the Detroit metro area. Recs for nurseries along the way please!

Horrocks is worth a look. They have a huge garden center. From I-96 take the exit for eastbound Saginaw Hwy. When you make the right turn, get into the left-hand lane. Horrocks is at the next traffic light. They have a website.

Lansing Gardens is renovated under new ownership. I haven't been through their greenhouses yet, but am hopeful. Take the Cedar St. exit from I-96. Turn right at the first light. That's Pennsylvania Ave. Turn right on Jolly Rd. Center is on the right.

Sorry I don't have the exit numbers. Have fun :)

did you ever make it to arrowhead alpines .... on 96??

and there might also be gees tree farm.. which would be south of 96 .... toward jackson ... they have a great 10 acre arb of conifers and trees ... though it might not be in prime spring growth in april ... and it will be quite off the beaten path ..

and of course.. neither would be described as near lansing ...

Hey Don_in_Colorado, 'Goodness Gracious'

When I was looking for something to pair with Luna Moth, similar sort of coloring with a definite color combo, I chose Goodness Gracious. Then the leaves began that piecrusting, and I changed my mind. It was impossible to find a THIRD hosta to make a trio. My GG and LM both came from Hallsons in 2012. , but Luna Moth arrived late in September in time to go dormant here. Sticking with GG for pictures this thread: and then the 3 I was trying to pair with GG in 2014 It did not have enough sun this year. I must move it to a lot of sunlight except for late day in hot summer.

Hey Michiganders: any good nurseries up the I-75 corridor?

I don't know where you are starting from, but Detroit Garden Works isn't too far off of I-75 in Sylvan Lake. It's high end and more garden decor, but if it were my trip up I-75, I would stop to drool at the gorgeous selection of garden ornament (and a few plants.)
