You're absolutely right. I can remember being astounded at the local Home Depot when I found a
guy who actually knew something about a couple varieties of ferns I was contemplating. I also
remember walking by a huge bank of 'Palace Purple' heuchera at the same Home Depot and noticing
that they were labeled "Stokes Asters."
We have three regular garden centers in the area and at each there are at least two or three
people working there at any given time who can answer questions - and give the right answers!
