Re: Mail Order Nurseries

Hello Donna,
    I am in a position to offer at touch of advice here, since I own a
nursery. Communication, communication. Talk to the owners. I keep a list
here of plants that people ask about that I do not have, or have not heard
of. Often I am asked about things that I do not carry for a reason, and will
not carry the plants in the future. Such as.. I do not sell shrubs and
trees, so a suggestion to get some redbuds in will not work here. However,
suggest a shade loving plant I am not aware of and I sure will listen and
take notes. I am educated by my customers every day they show up here, write
or call me.
    No one nursery can know everything...... just too many wonderful plants
out there.
