Whats your favorite nursery to order plants for the yard from I know there must be many of you that have tried more than a few mailorder nurseries for your landscape plants. I live in a part of the state where all Many of the nurseries have been in bussiness for a very long time must be the weather in the country. but I still fall prey to sombody's add for a new variety of somthing we have quite a few planting beds so theres always room but over the years I have been mostly buying prennials

greer gardens, i think in oregon
wayside gardens is another big one
new england wild flower society

I've tried many. Mostly, I've been disappointed in the size/relative cost of the plants. I am sticking with local folks because of this. But I still love looking though the catalogues for ideas.

Lowe's? Sorry only local ones here no mail order.

Another good one is Forest Farm in Oregon. Their selection is incredible, having many things that are difficult to get anywhere else ranging from rare conifers to woody shrubs to perennials, and so on. You should get their "catalog" just for the read - it looks like a miniture encyclopedia! Shipping prices may make you balk however especially with oil prices being what they are.

A good local nursery is best for larger plants like trees and shrubs, but sorry, without mailorder nurseries you just can't get the really rare stuff. But I'm biased, I live for the rare stuff myself!

TADD: Lowe's? Is that a nursery? :laugh2: C'mon! Gimme a break! :poke:

I live here in Oregon, and I work at a nursery. I am a plant geek, probably to the extreme. One of my favories(though quite expensive) is Heronswood up in Washington. They are quite amazing. If my brain was working today, I could name off alot of locals. What are you looking for?
here comes one...Collectors Nursery...
