BTW, there is another similiar name in our Garden Watchdog, but it's in Montana.

It's out by my in-laws place and it really is very nice, but very pricey!

Its a very very nice place, very big lots of plants, garden decor, tables and lots and lots of other stuff. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. The only thing I dont like about it is it is SO expensive. I live about 5 maybe 10 minutes away. Alway a neat plae to go during the holidays with all the decorations they put up. I dont know if they do mail order or not, I never asked them. Usually have weekend projects for kids and seminars for big kids.

I do believe that Homestead Gardens is one of Jody's favorite nurseries! It's about 30 mins. away from me. Their prices are probably high because they carry a large inventory, difficult-to-find plants, and they are also selling to the Annapolis area, which tends to be quite pricey.

That is my favorite place! I just moved to FL and I miss it!
It is pricey, but the quality of the plants are excellent and I thought it was worth it for some of the stuff I bought. The Christmas display is great.

When you buy in the spring they give you "Myrtle Money" (1$ coupon for each $10 you buy)and you can use it during the Crepe Myrtle festival in the summer. I bought furniture and trees there, so I cleaned up with my myrtle money.

There are several pretty good nurseries near there as well which aren't as pricey (Patuxent and Springmeadow).

I checked out their landscaping fees and they were outrageous. I went down the street to Springmeadow and had them do my hardscaping (pond & stone walls). I did my own planting.

I miss my garden up there. I'm starting from scratch in Orlando.

SwiftWoods: It must be hard to leave something on which you worked so hard. But think of the blank canvas you have right now, on which to create! I moved into a house last winter and started my own creation! Course, I have a long, long way to go!
