Re: great garden centers

**"* L* <t*@earthlink.net>**

Pam: In Asheville, we have at least two great nurseries, B.B. Barns (their 
collection has an English garden bent) and Reems Creek Valley Nursery (they 
are more into native plants). The box stores are only as good as the folks 
they hire and Home Depot ranks a bit higher then Lowe's. Peter
