Gardening Supplies?

[Giddzilla]

I'm not sure if this goes here or in recreation so if a moderator wants to move it great!

Where are the best places to buy plants and gardening supplies?

I want to have a vegetable garden and redo the rest of my yard with more native or at least non-invasive useful and interesting plants. I am especially interested in blueberry bushes, persimmons, yaupon holly, yucca, prickly pear, and of course palmettos.

Thanks!

Eastern Lake Nursery is a good source for native plants.

You can also get heirloom plants and seeds at the Saturday Seaside Farmer's Market.

Tomatoes from some farming/agriculture extension place I can't remember the name of.

If you're doing a total makeover, you might want to contact Chandra at CFH Design Studio --she is very experienced in designing with native and useful plants. I love her work.....

I'm still at the very beginning of the planning stage. We bought the house at the end of Dec. It's kind of a weird situation because we own the house but not the property, which belongs to the state, so I am not 100% sure what the guidelines are yet for landscaping. I would like to put in an herb spiral garden, to which My Better Half said: "that looks like a waste of perfectly good brick!" so we are looking for a source of recovered bricks. I am reading Gaia's Garden to get ideas. We both like native plants and berry bushes and I plan to keep my annual vegetables in pots around the porches and we want to add a back patio but other than that I am not sure yet.

I LOVE herb spirals:

You ought to be able to find some kind of brick around here for supercheap that would do the job. Tried the Re-store yet (Habitat for Humanity's thrift store of building supplies)?

Chandra's specialty is permaculture design and she has even taught courses in it. Wish she would teach more, I'd sign up in a flash.

GG is one of my alltime favorite gardening books. Where's this new abode of yours? (I mean, if you don't mind sharing that info)
