Here it is mid-December and they still have a great selection of plants, trees and if they don't have it they'll strive to get it. Over multiple decades Bay Hay has never dropped a beat in service and quality. They know plants and offer sound advice. So much more than a nursery.

Always a real pleasure to shop here. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Plants, ceramic pots, fertilizer, food, clothing and much more. All high quality. And fun to simply browse, and I generally hate shopping. Did I mention live turkeys?
