Killer Deal

13 years ago

DH and I drove into the country yesterday to an indivual's nursery that I had learned about from some nurses who work with me. I came home with four hostas in gallon pots ($1 each) and 12 azaleas in three gallon pots @ $5 each! Yes, five dollars! I love azaleas, and was very tickled to get them at this price,

I am sure to go back, because he has a number greenhouses we didn't even look into. I know he had shrubs like forsythia and a lot of boxwoods and conifers and the like. I didn't even look at the azaleas for $1.25 for a one gallon pot of azaleas.

That is a great find with both the nursery in general and the plants you took home. When I was doing my shrub border I would go to Home Depot early each spring and they always had Azeales in Gallon pots for $5 and $6 bucks. No way would you ever get a three gallon for that size. Even the price on the one gallons was fantastic. I looked at the fancy nursery and the same types of Azealas were $35.00. Of course they were larger, but I didn't care, I needed a batch of them and the price was right at Home Depot. They grew quickly and are stunnung each spring.

I bet it doesn't take long until you go back and snag some more goodies for the garden.

There are so many home or small local nurseries in the back woods here. There is one quite a bit south of us that I will go to when I get the garden expanded. Rumor has it that her stuff is amazing and unique! I can't wait.
We are also so lucky to have growers outlet. They are very inexpensive. Perhaps if you dig around some more you'll find more little places. Do you have a local GW forum? People list some rather hidden places on our Georgia forum sometimes.

Went to a growers' outlet in Oklahoma last week....the hostas were mistagged in many cases, and some showed obvious signs of the dreaded HVX, with Monrovia tags on them. I didn't buy any. The ferns were hopelessly mistagged, tho I did get a few I could identify. The rest of the plants and trees were mostly overpriced, and not in really good shape. I didn't buy much. For such a huge place, they didn't really have anything I wanted, or could do better on at a regular retail nursery. It wasn't worth the trip.

I give up on grower's outlets, it's back to the trusted and true places for me.
