Default buying pond plants

I get mine he

I get pots and dirt separately, as they ship the plants wrapped in damp
paper.

I have no connection with this outfit, but I've been happy with them.

Today I headed out to one of our
local nurseries. They had two long
water tables set up with pond plants.
Big pots, full of water and very, very heavy
pond plants. I found a star grass and
looked for something to put it in.
Nothing. No plastic bags available.
It was very heavy and very drippy.
I managed to get it to the checkout
but had the furthest to walk from any
other display of plants.
If you are going to carry pond plants
think about your customer!
(Also have a nice demo pond set
up, some information sheets and
don't let the displays fill up with
algae, pond slime and mosquito
larvae!)
