I love this nursery bc there's so many varieties of both annuals & perennials, as well as mini succulents & cactus. It's always fun to see what the flower display will be, it was really nice this year. We were a bit disappointed in how dry the plants were this time though, workers were more occupied restocking plant tables than watering. We have an hour & 20 minute drive, got home late night & I don't like watering at night but had to bc they were so dry. A few ended up dying but the rest are doing well. Disappointed they took away the flat price & it's just individual pricing now-- this year my mom & I spent the most we've ever spent, close to $575 combined & we won't do that again. We'll come back again for some items but we'll definitely be getting flats at our other nursery favorites.

The origins of Black Creek began with the marriage of Harvey and Irene Zimmerman over 30 years ago, when Irene asked Harvey to build a hot bed for seeding plants.  Harvey did one better and built Irene a little green house…this small beginning sparked their interest in gardening and was the start of what has become a 90,000 foot green house complex that employs a staff of almost 30 dedicated workers…and even more during planting time.
