We love Hicks Nurseries. People have been visiting for more than 160 years. It’s not just a place to purchase plants. With its easy accessibility, it is a fun place for all. It is a destination for all seasons. There are always special events going on. With the beginning of Spring, Hick’s Spring Festival is just the thing to get you into the mood for the coming season.
The paved, parking lot has twelve accessible spaces close to the new entrance, with its automatic, sliding glass doors. The smooth, concrete floor and aisles are wide enough to maneuver easily while enjoying the beautiful florals. If you venture outside to look at the plants, planters, etc. out there, be aware that some of the walkways are gravel.
The Spring Festival is now in full swing. We were delighted by the numerous displays depicting holidays around the world. From a Luau in Hawaii, to Holi, and Lunar New Year, each display has something special to offer. If you get tired while viewing, there are benches throughout for taking a rest.
In addition to plants, patio furniture, and garden supplies, Hicks sells gift items. There are always beautiful and quirky items to choose from. They also have a kids’ toy area!
Multi-stall, restrooms with an accessible stall, accessible sinks and a baby-changing station, are located in a hallway. There are signs to direct you. If you are like me and cannot see them, just ask one of the lovely people who work there. They are always happy to help! There are also two, accessible, single-occupancy restrooms in the white building outside, Just go around to the back of the building and you will see the signs.
Hicks is a beautiful place at any time of the year. The Spring Festival makes it extra special.
As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to visit a venue’s website, www.hicks.com, when planning a visit, to “know before you go.”
