Iowa Road Trip

Post by Barefoot Gardener »

My friend and I are going on a plant road-trip the end of May from Cedar Rapids to Dubuque via backroads.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I thought some of the NE IA people would have responded by now. I'm not all that familiar with what's up there other than a few places. There's Josh Spece's 'In A Country Garden' in the Independence area. There's Weiss' Country Bloomers just south of Vinton. [The catalog I got from her last year said she wasn't doing a full garden center anymore but still had hostas. You'd have to call to make sure since I haven't received her mailing yet this year.] There is a place in the Colesburg area. [Forum member Marlys is acquainted with them so you could contact her for more info or check out her website. I think she has info about their place.]

More than that I can't tell you. :wink: Hopefully some of the other members can provide additional info.

Oh Roxanne!!
