WI/Great Lakes nursery recommendations

I'm wondering if anyone could share recommendations for nurseries in WI or upper Midwest/Great Lakes area in general? I've heard good things about Weston's Antique Apples, though I don't think it's quite a 'nursery.' I also noticed in the WI thread a reference to Cold Stream Farm in MI. I'd love to hear of other positive experiences!

I highly recommend Wallace Woodstock Nursery located in Neillsville, WI. They have a tremendous selection and grow the plants around the central WI area. They have a decent listing on their web page and Tom Wallace is really helpful and knowledgable.

They do have a huge catalog! Thanks for the recommendation!

Hey Joy,

Not sure where in Wi you are exactly, but if you are up North, you might want to check out the Draw permaculture community and their Water's Edge Nursery. They maintain a small permie-oriented nursery which includes a who's who of all the good permie trees and shrubs. They're located up near Lake Superior between Cornucopia and Bayfield. They're really at the end of the road from most folks though...and they like it that way! Here's a link to their website and their plant offerings. Cheers!
