Default Best place to buy flowering shrubs

Other than the big box stores and Porters, any suggestions of where to find quality shrubs. My pest control company did not control the scale on some of my plants and I just pulled them out.

JoJo, there's a nursery on 466A after Morse on the left hand side. I haven't been in there but F16 tells me its a good place to go. I see a lot of stock in there and I can see the storage area under the power lines behind my house. Looks like they have a lot of stuff. Let me know if your going and I might go with you.

I found a delightful garden store - Fairfield Farms - on 301 - west side- a couple miles north of 466.

I am new to the area and have been looking for landscaping and plants and I found Fairfield Farms to be very expensive. You may want to check other prices before going there.

Default I can't wait to see what you have chosen!

JoJo....I am sorry to hear that you have been deflowered but am anxious to see what you are buying to replace your dead bushes.

If there is someone that knows their way around flowering plants it would be JoJo and her mom Bernice. Bernice, who is getting close to three figures is a guru of the green plant.

JoJo chose an almost new home that was beautifully landscaped and I got the benefit of some of those beautiful plants when they removed them to put in a pool. Bernice is still interested to see if they are living and most of them still are.

You can't do better than Ohio girls when it comes to growing things!!!

Yes Gracie, my mother is doing well with her green peppers and tomatoes. Although we are discovering that there are very different growing seasons down here for vegetables. Hope to see you soon.

Try the Marian Market. I've gotten a few things there that are quite reasonable.
