What do customers say?
Just happened upon this nursery and have been back 4 times, the plants are so healthy and prices are best around. Plus the information i get on how to best grow each plant is wonderful..1st time i have been able to keep fuchsia alive! Thanks Kolze’s
This is my favorite garden center–healthy plants, knowledgeable staff, unique gifts, great yard art, plus we love shopping down in this area.
Love my poinsettia. I purchased it in November and it is still beautiful. Will never buy one anywhere else.
Bob and his crew are always helpful. The quality of their flowers and other plant material cannot be beat. About 8 years ago I moved to Whitewater, WI, but I still travel to Kolze’s throughout the year to buy flowers, bagged mulch and other garden supplies. There just isn’t anyone else I’ve found that delivers a better product. They also share their knowledge of plant care – as a result, my hanging baskets have lasted well into November. Thanks, guys.
The folks at Kolze’s are always Johnny on Spot to help choosing the best options for your specific needs. Have been going there for quite a while.
This place is great! Bob Kolze, the owner, is very knowledgeable and helpful. The flower combinations he creates are just beautiful! I’ve gotten my pole green beans here last year when I lived in Chicago & they did so well I came back for more.
This grower is definitely the best around. They grow their own plants, teach you how to care for them, and don’t use any growth inhibitors or anything else destructive. Awesome people!
