It’s a ritual every spring for “super-wife” and I to buy the annual flowers to bring a little color to our southwest side home. We usually go to Lansing Gardens on Jolly Road, a destination for many looking for plant materials. PLEASE NOTE: Check the photos of our Lansing Garden excursion in the multimediabox at the top right.
There are many places in the greater Lansing-area to buy your petunias, pansies, marigolds, and hanging baskets. Prices seem to be pretty standard. A couple of questions:
- Where do you buy your spring planting materials?
- What do you buy and how many?
- Who has the highest quality and who has the best price?
Buying some "verbena" at Lansing Gardens

I buy tons (and I mean TONS) of annuals from Smith Floral and Greenhouse. I plant the flowers in local cemeteries for my Memorial Minders clients. I buy geraniums by the boatload, marigolds, petunias, impatiens, dianthus, salvia, dusty miller, celosia, vinca, etc. I buy around 500 geraniums! I have always been extremely well pleased with quality, service and prices from Smith Floral.
Loretta-thanks for the tip. I will check them out. Flowers are a gift from God. Wes
