           <title>Chalily</title>
           <description>## Overview

Chalily is a specialty water-garden nursery focused on aquatic plants, koi and goldfish, pond supplies, and water features. Founded in 2011 and now operating from a new location at the former Fahr Greenhouses, the shop pairs in-store retail with nationwide shipping.

## What makes Chalily special?

The business is built around water in the garden — from water lilies and lotus to pond pumps, filtration, liners, treatments, fountains, and koi. Inventory leans deep on aquatics rather than broad on terrestrial nursery stock, with services extending from selection through installation and seasonal pond maintenance.

- Stocks a broad water-plant catalog, with a notable lotus selection sold via spring pre-order bundles, alongside aquatic plant pots, aquatic soil and fertilizer, pond netting, water treatments, and algae control
- Carries fountains across formats — disappearing fountains, basalt and ceramic styles, bubbling boulders and bird baths, faux-rock and faux-wood waterfalls, and floating fountains — in stone and lightweight-resin options
- Offers pond services including pond cleanout, fountain installation, equipment rental, and pond design and maintenance, plus seasonal pre-order bundles built around themes like pollinator gardens and night-blooming displays</description>

           <title>Earthworks</title>
           <description>Overview
Earthworks is a stone and hardscape materials supplier serving both professional masons and homeowners looking to tackle landscape and masonry projects. The business operates from a yard where customers can view stone on pallets and load out in quantity, alongside an indoor and outdoor showroom that reviewers consistently call worth the visit on its own.
What makes Earthworks special?
Earthworks stands out for the scale and range of its stone inventory, combined with a house-quarried product line that isn&#039;t available elsewhere.

Stocks natural stone, pavers, brick, mortar, and fireplace kits, with reviewers describing the selection as exceeding big-box retailers significantly.
Offers an indoor and outdoor showroom where customers can assess color, texture, and scale before purchasing.
Quarries its own &quot;Earthworks gold stone,&quot; a proprietary natural stone line sourced on-site.
Yard staff walk customers through options on-site, with quotes available in advance.

What fellow gardeners are saying

Customers who&#039;ve completed dozens of masonry projects return regularly, citing the depth of inventory as unmatched in the region.
Homeowners new to stone selection appreciate staff walking them to the yard to compare pallet options by color and quality.
Reviewers single out the showroom as a destination in itself, helpful for visualizing how stone will read in a finished landscape.
The selection of natural stone draws consistent praise, with multiple reviewers describing it as the best available in Missouri.

           <title>Fick Supply Service</title>
           <description>Overview
Fick Supply is a Wildwood-headquartered bulk landscape material supplier serving the St. Louis region with mulch, gravel, topsoil, compost, and crushed rock. The operation has been in business for more than 30 years and pairs a working materials yard with broad regional delivery coverage.
What makes Fick Supply special?
A full-spectrum bulk-only inventory paired with 24/7 online ordering, and a working yard that handles both pickup and delivery, sets the operation apart from bagged-product retail.

The mulch lineup is broad: cedar mulch, color-enhanced ground-recycled coarse mulch, fine-textured Coffee Fines Mulch, and standard bark blends are all in regular rotation.
The soil and compost side carries garden mix, topsoil, engineered soil for infiltration applications, and STA-certified Grow Green Compost produced from aerobic decomposition of yard waste.
The gravel and rock side runs from standard sand and crushed rock through decorative gravels including Alabama sunset, with playground surfacing rounding out the substrate inventory.

What fellow gardeners are saying

Bulk shoppers describe the ordering experience as effortlessly organized, the online system delivers without the back-and-forth of phone-only operations.
Compost buyers single out the quality as a clear cut above competing yards in the region, the kind of differentiator that drives repeat orders across the year.

           <title>Greenscape Gardens</title>
           <description>Overview
Greenscape Gardens is a full-service garden center that grew out of a 1970s lawn-and-tree-care operation and transitioned into retail in 1994. The shop pairs a deep departmental plant offering with a conservation-and-education mission.
What makes Greenscape Gardens special?
A wide plant offering across perennials, Missouri natives, trees and shrubs, edibles, annuals and tropicals, and houseplants sits alongside an in-house container program and a mission-driven education arm.

The Natives department is built around Missouri-native species selected to support pollinator populations, and the trees-and-shrubs selection extends to Japanese maples in multiple varieties.
Annual and tropical baskets and containers are designed and planted in-house with distinctive colors and textures, and &quot;Grab-n-Go Porch Pots&quot; rotate seasonally from small tabletop arrangements to larger statement planters.
A garden-goods aisle stocks organic potting soils, fertilizers, soil amendments, pest controls, bagged mulch and compost, and terra cotta, ceramic, and plastic pottery, backed by a plant guarantee covering true-to-name, healthy, disease-free stock.
The shop runs &quot;Blooming Minds,&quot; an 8-week outdoor learning program built on horticultural-therapy and mindfulness principles, part of a broader mission of raising environmental awareness and access to gardening.

           <title>Papillon Perennials</title>
           <description>Overview
Papillon Perennials is a Missouri-native plant nursery founded in 2016 by a horticulturalist with three decades of growing experience, including more than a decade managing greenhouses at Missouri Botanical Garden. The operation has shifted toward wholesale with retail available through events and Kirkwood-area pickup.
What makes Papillon Perennials special?
A mission-driven native plant specialty backed by Missouri-sourced seed, on-site propagation, and an active pollinator-and-ecosystem framing sets the nursery apart from generic perennial retail.

The native plant offering exceeds 250 Missouri native varieties, perennials, trees, and shrubs grown from Missouri-collected seed for local soil and climate adaptation.
Growing practices are intentional: no neonicotinoids, very rare pesticide use, and an all-natural potting mix free of peat moss and non-degradable materials.
A documented Deer Resistant List, built from observation of what the nursery&#039;s own deer have and have not eaten, gives gardeners a real-world guide rather than a generic catalog claim.

What fellow gardeners are saying

Gardeners building pollinator and habitat landscapes single out the native genetic integrity as a real differentiator, with plants that handle Missouri clay and weather swings reliably.
The shift from open retail to an event-and-pickup model is a known recurring note, so buyers plan around event days and confirm stock availability in advance.
