Alycia here. We took a day recently to head to Fertile, MN, which is home to Bergeson Nursery. This was our third trip there and we now know the ropes. The drive there takes you through the Glacial Ridge Wildlife Preserve and we saw a Northern Harrier gliding around the marshes looking for food.
Below is John being quite satisfied with his breakfast sandwich. Their specialty is actually homemade ice cream, they have a dozen varieties. But since it was only 11:00 in the morning, and we had much to do, we didn't want too much ice cream slowing us down.
After breakfast we headed to the nursery, which is about 8 miles outside of Fertile. We had a list of things to buy including: ninebark bushes, honey berries, and various flowers for new planters. We were more than successful, finding many interesting plants not on our list. Future posts will showcase some of those unique finds.
John's note - I'm only making this face because the sun is shining right in my eyes. And because I know there's a lot of work now for me to do.
When we got to Fertile, we first stopped at LaLa's Cafe, where much of the food is homemade. We were there in time for a late breakfast, so we were served a variety of homemade jams: strawberry and pear. I also wanted ketchup with my home fries so our waitress brought some out on a jar. Sure enough, that was homemade, too.
