In my search for japanese maples, I decided to visit a nursery I've never been to before--Sakamoto Plants. I just wanted to let everyone in the area know what a fabulous place this is. I could have spent all day there, looking at the maples, dogwoods, and other plants and trees.

One of the staff members there spent about 20 minutes showing me around the place and describing the attributes of all the maples he thought might work for my site. They had a wonderful collection of common and uncommon maples, and they know everything about them. Not to mention all the other plants on site, like bamboo, vines, and evergreens.

I told my husband he was lucky I've never been there before, or they would already have a lot of our money. LOL
