Red Barn Nursery does not sell on line or through catalogs but is one of the best places to visit for large variety of annuals. They grow their annuals from seed in their own greenhouses and also carry a variety of geraniums, perennials, grasses and shrubs.

They are friendly and major in customer service. They've been in business for nineteen years and their plants are healthy and reasonably priced.

Red Barn was the first place where I had found numerous varieties of Nasturtiums. Their variety of vegetables is about the best I've seen outside catalogs. They feature over eighty varieties of tomatoes plus many other vegetables, geraniums, and root fruits.

On a sad note: Tippypine Greenhouse will not be opening again. Located north of Kewanee, Sharon Manthe provided some of the most hardy plants I've purchased. Her hanging baskets were healthy, long-lived, and beautiful. She tried to keep her prices very reasonable and she was a success at all she offered.
Sharon was in my Master Gardener class. I'm sad her health now prevents the hard work necessary to do the business she loved. Former customers may wish her well by writing 8342E 27th St., Kewanee IL 61443
