RE: Heronswood

I've gotten most of my plants via mail order.  I just can't find a lot
of the things I want locally.  90% of locally purchased plants come from
small nurseries in the area.

I order from HCG and PDN and everything else I get at my nursery.  Gotta
keep those folks in business.  This year they started getting some
beautiful shredded TX cedar mulch and it's the best stuff I've ever
used.  I told them keep getting this stuff - I've already carried it to
people at work.  I used to order from Forest Farm but I'm too full up
for anymore viburnums. Too bad.
