May be nice for weddings, but...
My wife and I drove an hour just to see Luthy BG, but wished we hadn't. There's just not much there -- so I guess at least the price is right. I was especially annoyed at the plants not being labeled. I guess Luthy is for experts who already know the names of all the specimens, not for novices like me who think it's a botanical gardens' job to educate.
We went during Luthy's June "plant sale." What a joke. I'd printed out the "Plant Sale 2006" document available on Luthy's Website, which listed over 20 pages of plants presumably available at the sale. But the so-called sale occupied only a small section of one greenhouse. Not much to choose from, and even though a worker announced that all the plants were now "half price," those half-prices were no better than the regular prices at any nursery or garden center. From now on, if I want to see and buy a variety of plants, I'll just go to Wal-Mart, because it definitely beats what we saw at Luthy's plant sale.
