> I'm hoping you all can help me with a project -- a story on what shrubs American gardeners are buying and planting. I am compiling a list of good garden centers in different part of the US. Can you share your favorite garden centers/nurseries? I'm looking for those that have widespread reputations -- in their location and beyond -- and knowledgeable staff people. Thanks!
