MrsStack--Most were plugs, very small plants. I'm letting it self sow now, though. In fall I even put out buckets of dirt, toss in seeds, and in spring I have tons of seedlings to transplant or sell. Native bring in more wildlife, and when properly sited, are easier to care for. I hope to share this wildlife with future children! Benjamin's Native Garden My Great Outdoors |

Sara--try your local public university; mine has an arboretum where they grow natives. It all depends on where you live as far as online ordering (which I did a lot in the past, now I just divide and seed). Lazy S'S nursery is good for general eastern half of U.S., though not all natives--you'd have to research the plants online to find out. Always research plants--right plant for right place = plant lives and needs less maintenance. Never ever trust plant labels. Benjamin's Native Garden My Great Outdoors |

VB--The fountain has water flowing down it and it vanished into the ground. Under the ftn is a buried reservoir with a pump. You can see my fountain in the 3rd picture. I even write about installing it in my book. :) Benjamin's Native Garden My Great Outdoors |
