We have a locally owned mail order company here in the Bluegrass called Shooting Star Nursery. They specialize in native plants. On Fridays and Saturdays during the spring they are usually open to the public from 10-5. I have looked at their items online and have been very intrigued by them. Mary, Makenzie and I made the trip out there today. It was an adventure. The place is full of native plants. The people were very knowlegable and we really enjoyed our time there.
We went so we could look at plants for our naturalization project in our church's outdoor worship area and get there opinions. We came home with a wide variety of plants that are in good shape and very reasonably priced.
Planting native plants in your landscape cuts back on watering and specialized care. It also provides habitat for local butterflies and other navtive species.
If you get a chance check out thier website at http://www.shootingstarnursery.com/. If you live here locally it is worth a drive out some day. It you go tomorrow, you can get free heirloom tomato plants. We brought home 2 boxes worth to share with friends.
