Where to buy plants, seeds, and tools
back to gardeningforlove homepage shown above: Hellebore purchased from Picadilly Farm in Bishop, GA Market Bulletins: click on the links below to see what's on offer in these publications! (Look for the section on flowers or seeds) South Carolina Market Bulletin Why should you get a catalog, even when you will order on the web? We keep them handy for the pictures and descriptions when we read gardening books. It's like a dictionary for gardeners! THINGS WE LOVE: The Polymax Drawstring Yard Tarp. This great tarp has a cord running all the way around it like a drawstring, so you can lay it out flat, fill it with dirt, leaves, or a plant you have dug up and then cinch it up tight with the drawstring. Available in 6 x 6 or 9 x 9 foot sizes, its good for covering up plants quickly to protect against frost and strong enough to tolerate us dragging it across the yard. Available at your local hardware or Ace Harware online.
