Eastern Lake Nursery closing

[gbdreams]

The nursery staff told us this weekend that they're closing for good in about a week. The proprieter told us that business was looking up this spiring, but when the Deepwater Horizon blew out, it was like someone turned off the lightswitch. What a loss to 30A and South Walton.

Besides being in a great location and having an extensive inventory, the staff is extremely knowledgable and has been very helpful to us. We'll miss them. They've been having a big sale for a week or so.

I hate this. I love Eastern Lake Nursery. This shop really fit into Seagrove and will be missed. I hope they got one hell of a BP claim. I will be there tomorrow to buy some of my favorite things.

I agree and wish Randy Harrelson never sold out.The Gourd Garden was always a fun place to shop and get info.

Such nice and helpful folks - and they sold native plants.

They are working on opening up a new Lowe's this side of Destin Commons. They have lots of plants.

If you want local options, I've had good luck with the plants from Niceville Garden Center. And there's a place next to Fernleigh Antiques on PCB Parkway that had some nice-looking though somewhat limited stock.

Lowe's is fine I guess for bedding plants or flowers for pots and such. But most of their stuff is not native, and/or won't tolerate our growing conditions- I could see the same inventory at any Lowe's in the country. Plus their employees never seem to know much about how to grow their plants in NW coastal Florida.
