We found a garden center that is alllllmost perfect. It’s >this< close. It's called Schilliger, and it's only about 20 minutes from our place. Katy said that on some points, it's better than Scottsdales (!) so you know that has to say something. The only problem is that it doesn't have a cafeteria, only vending machines :( Still, the xmas display is impressive!!! And they have parrots!!! and hamsters!!! and toys!!! AND THEY HAVE LEMAX CHRISTMAS VILLAGE GOODIES!!!!
