Shortly after it opened, I stumbled upon Whispering Gardens while driving back roads between rural Afton and Cottage Grove. I suddenly "needed" an amazing assortment of perennials. The variety of hostas in my shade garden immediately seemed to be incomplete without some additions from dark silver to lime green giants peeking out of the shade at Whispering Gardens. The late fall sale prices made it easy to fill my trunk with great plants for a small price tag.
The owners have packed their gift gallery with interesting and unique items, plus they landscaped the grounds from scratch into a meandering patchwork of specialty gardens. Wander through the gardens to get ideas, or simply sit and enjoy the breeze and be re-energized for your gardening tasks.
Last season I sought advice from Whispering Gardens for fruit trees and finding deer "resistant" plants. They took time to educate me on a variety of plant possibilities and I'm glad I took their advice. They stand by their products, and thoroughly enjoy helping their customers put together and execute a successful and unique garden plan.
