  • While on a short stopover in Detroit, MI, I was told that I "had" to go see Telly's Greenhouse in nearby Troy-a four-decade, family-owned and operated greenhouse selling houseplants, annuals, and perennials. Well, let me just say I was bowled over with their wide selection of some very hard-to-find plants-not to mention how nice and full many of their plants were. Dare I say they might have a BETTER selection than most plant shops in NYC. But you can be the judge of that!
    More about them on their website: www.tellys.com/

    I always say, " If they don't have the plant you want at Telly's, you don't need that plant!" I live 5 minutes away from the Shelby location & 15 minutes from the Troy location, so I'm pretty blessed!

    It's so adorable how the owners are just spamming Summer with their plants. Lol. They're like look at this one! That one! This one! You can really tell they love and are proud of their collection. I feel need to watch this 2 more times because there really are a lot of plants in this video.

    TO everyone else out there who follows Summer Rayne...YES, she really IS that talented, sincere, intelligent, witty, generous, eloquent, knowledgeable, beautiful and GRACIOUS.
    In this sometimes crazy, social-media driven world, she is truly someone worth following.

    I saw this video a week ago when I woke up in the middle of the night a 2am and couldn’t go back to sleepy. I thought about this greenhouse so much I decided to take a 4hour road trip from Chicago just a few day later. Trust me when I say it was worth it. Spent over 600$ on plants and didn’t regret a penny!

    It is so funny, growing up in the Philippines back in the 70's, in our classroom in the province, our teacher would have a trailing vine above the lined up 4 green chalk boards. The vines would start out as a little three leaf plant in a hanging water vase then by the end of the school year, it would trail around framing the boards. Little did I know those were the syngoniums! Now I know!

    Another fabulous tour! I can't believe the variety of plants and how substantial they are. There are no puny plants there..lol. Very beautiful and you can tell by their excitement in describing them the passion involved. I think this is one of the best nurseries you've featured. Thank you, Telly's Greenhouse and Summer, for sharing. :)
