Selecting The Right Plants
 Selecting and buying plants is fun and rewarding, everyone wants THE garden in their yard, planter, patio and containers. However, this is where some landscape dreams turn to nightmares. Just because you received a flower magazine or browse a nursery and see all the beautiful specimens does not necessarily mean they will work in your particular location.
Let us help with your plant selections. We can advise for species indigenous to the St. Louis area and we can also help with planting locations and schedules for full sun, partial sun, shade annuals and perennials.
