Hello Everyone,

My name is Anita and I recently moved to Austin from Dallas, about 4
months now.
I have been container gardening as I plan on moving from my current
location in about a year.
I have found a couple of great nurseries here in town, but still was
wondering where everyone liked to go to get their plants and/or
supplies.
The location does not matter to me so much, as the quality and price.
Plus it interest me to see where people go and why if possible.

Thank you everyone ahead of time,
Anita


Anita,

I sent this list earlier this year to a co-worker who just moved here from
the UK
