Sundownr recommended Raintree Nursery and wrote:

Everything I have ever ordered from Raintree Nursery has arrived healthy and beautiful. They have several hard to find fruit shrubs and trees. I wish they were located closer to my area so I could visit.

Sundownr recommended Seven Springs Farm and wrote:

I have visited the farm, purchased hard to find (for me) organic/natural soil amendments, gardening supplies, and the sturdiest heirloom tomato transplants I have ever had in my garden. These folks know what they are doing! Their concise "About Us" page describes their knowledge and experience: http://www.7springsfarm.com/about-us/

Sundownr recommended Beagle Ridge Herb Farm and wrote:

Beautiful herb gardens, healthy plants for sale, butterfly house with tagging events, environmental education center, hiking, picnicking, crafting activities, and much more. They are closed during the winter so check the website or subscribe to their newsletter. One of the garden paths... In the butterfly house...

Lalambchop1 recommended Wynn's Daylily Garden and wrote:

I've ordered from Wynn's a few times through the Lily Auction. Their plants are large, healthy and true to name. They have very reasonable prices. When I see that they have plants on the LA, I'm always pleased. I'd rather order from folks I know and trust. This group fits the bill.

Lalambchop1 recommended Santa Rosa Gardens and wrote:

Wow. Santa Rosa is the best. The way they package their plants is amazing. The plants are small but they grow well and the Santa Rosa sales are awesome! I've ordered from them a few times now and plan to put in orders at least once a year. Great folks. Recommend!

Lalambchop1 recommended Victory Seed Company and wrote:

I was blessed last year to win seeds from this company in a NARR. I like that they concentrate on OP heirloom varieties. The seeds came well packaged with planting instructions and other info about the seed plants on the label. Victory Seed has been a great supporter of ATP/NGA. We're luck to have them around!

lovesblooms recommended Santa Rosa Gardens and wrote:

I have ordered from this company more than once and am always impressed by their attention to quality and detail. Beautiful plants, much larger than most, with deep roots. I only lost some that seem to have been labeled for the wrong hardiness zone. When I asked Jude for a refund, she gave it to me even though her policy had just changed that year regarding refunds for plants lost after planting. I enjoy every interaction with this nursery, including their helpful gardening emails.

lovesblooms recommended Colorblends and wrote:

The only place I've ever ordered tulips from and probably the only place I ever will order tulips from. Beautiful blends, huge, healthy tulips. The show lasted a month, and I had flowers way before anyone else in my neighborhood.

lovesblooms recommended Chamblee's Rose Nursery and wrote:

Ordered as part of a co-op about six own-root rose babies three years ago. All were healthy babies, and all are still alive today. I was able to order far more roses from them as part of a co-op than I would otherwise have been, and I'm glad I sprang for them.
