Quote of the Day

“

James 2:13-14 For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment. What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

Customer Testimonials

I appreciate your many varieties of plants any your guided choices for each particular zone. I feel safe with the information you are providing to your customers. I regret having ordered more plants from another nursery online before I found your website. The quality of plants and packaging they provided were complete opposite of what you have provided me. We are currently developing our front and back yards, so you can be assured that you have gained my trust in your nursery for my future orders.
