If you are anywhere near Sonoma County, you are in a nursery hotbed! I would scour around locally before buying via mail (unless you wants seeds....).





At this time of year, there are a lot of plant sales coming. There will be the Occidental Art and Ecology plant sale (in Occidental and all organic-tons of unusual veggies), the Harvest for the Hungry plant sale (in Santa Rosa-lots of veggies and perennials), Willowside School (in Santa Rosa) has plants sales... this is just to name a few. If you check in "The Press Democrat" in the gardening section they list all the upcoming events.





Now for nurseries, there are sooooo many!!! We have a great range from the specialty to the full service. Grab your phone book and let your fingers do the walking - you may be surprised at what you see. There is a book dedicated just to Sonoma County nurseries, it's titled "The Guide to Sonoma County Nurseries" by SpringHill Press (their site is under construction).





If you edit your question and give your location, I may be able to help further with specific nurseries.





Happy Gardening! :)





EDIT: Here are some seed catalogues to try...


I got a ton of heirloom tomatoes here: http://www.heirloomtomatoes.bizland.com/


Burpee has a little of everything: http://www.burpee.com/


Renee's Garden has a wonderful selection of neat things: http://www.reneesgarden.com/


I love this catalogue based out of the UK, I drool over it: http://www.thompson-morgan.com/
Reply:Try the burpee website. They have seeds and plants to order on line. I'd try burpee.com or goolgle "Burpee" seeds.
Reply:I get seeds from several companies but mostly from "Thompson and Morgan" or from "park Seeds", for perennial plants the best place Ive found is "bluestone Perennials" mine come by second day air and in 20 years Ive only had one batch of 3 plants that were not good and they replaced them for me.
Reply:Hi, I have had really good luck with ebay actually. But if you want a nursery Spring Hill is a good site. I had good luck with orders from them.

Wayside Gardens is nice but pricey

But my new favorite is Holly Hill Nurseries - They have wholesale lots and as I have 1 acre to landscape you can't beat their prices. I am getting an order soon so I will know better then how good the plants are.
