Just picked up two beautiful plants that I special ordered. It’s great to have a local nursery that knows what they’re doing and can get your plants that you can’t find anywhere else you’re in the area.

Need plants that are healthy and will grow and resist drought. My garden wiped out from too much heat and from cheap transplants. Need better transplants, better soil and fish fertilizer.
