Greetings, friends.
Can anyone tell me what the story is on Klehm's at present? For years,
Klehm was in Barrington, IL, and put out a most beautiful catalog which we
frequently ordered from. They then split into two nurseries, Klehm's and
Beaver Creek, both up in northern IL. (There is another Beaver Creek
Nursery in TN, I know.) BC is/was to the trade only, Klehm supposedly was
retail, but I saw no catalogs, although I heard they established an
arboretum at that site. Klehm is now apparently located in WI somewhere.
She also has the idea that the nursery can be visited, but she may be
thinking of the northern IL arboretum site.
I have looked at Klehm's website and see that John Elsley of Wayside
Gardens is affiliated. Has Elsley in fact taken Klehm's over? Is he still
with Wayside also? If not, who is running Wayside these days? What has
been the reason for all this movement? And has anyone been to either the
no. IL site or the current nursery site?
Thanks.
