We were looking to put some Clematis vines off our deck. There are a gazillion varieties, and to pick the one that works best, you need to know height, sun exposure needs, blooming and pruning times, in addition to flower size/color. Donahue's has all of that on their website. And if you have questions, any time I have called, the person that answers is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and not only answers the questions you ask, but fills in some pointers you might not have thought about. If you can travel to the greenhouse, you get a 2 ft. tall plant in a 6" diameter x 6" tall pot, and you get to choose from typically 3 or for plants of any given variety amongst what must have been close to 80 varieties. When we went in Apr 24, 2021, many to choose from, and all were $20 a plant. If you order from online places, you'd be getting much smaller 3" or 4" versions, and generally higher prices, and certainly not as good of service. Unqualified (green) thumbs up!

What an uplifting story of American ingenuity, Spirit, and drive. Tour guide was sooo good, and doubles as a very persuasive sales girl. This tour is a must-do if you are ever NEAR Faribault. Be sure to call ahead to get on the list for the tour time desired. We left with woolen koozies for friends back home, and two wool blankets, even though we will have the rare occasion to cuddle up under one.

Plenty of signs of Spring here. We enjoyed Chorus Frogs singing in the pools, various birds, waterfowl and song birds, and hiked various terrain, from prairie, marsh, sheltered river bottoms, and had a good time.

Always a great mix of entertainment options presented throughout the year and costs are kept low enough to enjoy them frequently. Really good talent who works hard at plays presented with only a half dozen performances. So glad we have this resource.
