| Does anyone have any mail order sources for shrubs?...good variety, good value.
Its not feasible for me to buy #3 and #5 shrubs for $30-$40. I'd rather just go with #1 shrubs. |

| There are soooo many vendors to consider, I hesitate to even start a list (but I guess I will anyway). A lot of it depends on what you are looking for (real rare types of shrubs, native stuff, special interest, edible-fruiting, etc, etc). If you can be more specific, I bet you'll get better answers. Here are some of the more common ones: Fairweather Gardens This is such an open ended list I won't even give specifics on the one's I've listed. Be sure to consult Garden WatchDog for any contemplated purchase (but the ones above are probably all pretty good). |

| doesnt girards list quite a few??? ken |

| Thats a good start (some I'm aware)...thanks. I left it open ended as I'm looking for sources that cover Azalea to Weigela. Mainly looking for classics and new cultivars...yeah pretty much everything. New house, new landscaping. Browsing is what gets the ideas flowing. I don't plan to hunt and peck for this go around. Really the key is #1 shrubs. In certain cases I'll get 1-2 quart plants. Sooner farm seems to be one of the better ones for value. |

| Lazy S's Farm Nursery has quite a variety of quart shrubs and quite reasonable prices. I've been happy with what I have purchased from them. |

| I second Lazy S's Farm Nursery. Some of the hamamelis from Fairweather gardens (just as an example) cost almost $100!!! While Lazy S's doesn't have as large of a selection, there hamamelis only cost around $20, so you're saving quite a bit. |
