Nurseries & Gardening in Mattoon, IL

“It's spring planting time and we always go here for top healthy plants that were not water stressed during and after shipping. Looks like they still have some bulk gardening seeds in large glass jars that are weighed and sold by the ounce or pound. Has a nice array of natural potting soils, too. I know people who go here just to get hot sauce, there are several kinds here. They have unique pet treats and various pet foods/feed. I hear tell this place has been around for generations. A genuine old style store with original wood board planks for flooring, just like the old brick main street stores I grew up with in the early 1960's. It appears time itself has stayed out of the way for this store.”

“I was in need of a portable gas-powered generator. I happened to be in Champaign, Illinois during the time the derecho storm came through Northwest Indiana. I live in NW Indiana. There were no portable generators to be found for miles in Northwest Indiana according to my friends and relatives. I ended up going to Mattoon Illinois to the home Depot there after doing some research since I was so far out of town. When I got to the store and to the aisle I needed there was an employee in the aisle. An older gentleman and I told him what I was looking for. He loaded the generator onto the cart and then I told him I needed extension cords and he took me over to that aisle. I got the extension cords I needed and then he escorted me to the register, waited while I paid and got another employee to help him so that it could get loaded into my vehicle. They couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. When he found out that I lived in Northwest Indiana and was carting it back he was very concerned and offered me safe travels and prayers and I just really appreciated that so thank you.”
