I have searched for and found several online nursery websites that sell bulbs and perennials but I want to be sure my plants and flowers are healthy when they arrive at my home. Any recommendations or experiences (good or bad) would help me find a nursery that I can trust to deliver the best so I can plant them with confidence in my own garden! - - Anyone??? - -

This is the place I like.
They have a lot of variations that I have not found anywhere else.
They guarantee their products for life (the plants) and always run specials so can getsome excellent flowers (bulbs or growing) for pretty cheap.
good Luck!

I get my seeds from www.reneesgarden.com.....they used to be a part of White Flower Farms which provide the healthiest and best plants from perennials, shrubs, etc. For roses and other things you can always trust Jackson and Perkins....(both White Flower and J&P are on line). I have never found anyone I trust with bulbs...I do better at a local big nursery. (If I am looking to use big volumes for naturalizing and not using hybrids, try Michigan Bulb Co.) Good luck

It is best to use a nursery that is in your own Gardening Zone, that way you know the plants have adapted to your area, or a zone north of you, making the plants even hardier.
It also makes a difference if your looking for seeds, perrenials, trees etc. most nurseries specialize, ask your local gardening friends who they prefer, also visit your local farmers market or some of the plant exchanges in your area.

Did you KNOW?? Many states give away trees.flowers and plants...you should check into the state you live in or go to www.ask.com and type in "free gardening plants" or ask,"what plants,trees shrubs do are free from (state of virginia) I is always worth asking ..I got 10,000 pine seedlings for free and they even had a chain gang plant them on my mountain for free.This was 5 years ago and now i have a "live xmas tree farm for free" i will sell these and ask for them to do the same...I can make about $150,000 free if all goes well. I LOVE AMERICA..i am IMMIGRANT and had nothing now I own several mountains (also free) for planting grapes ( yes< free too ) Some muslims are good like me i love AMERICA and LAND OF THE FREE.

Lots of experience and not one mail order ever was satisfactory. It is best to go to the local Nursery and buy with confidence.

You know, if you receive plants that are not satisfactory you can send them straight back.
