If you need quality plants and a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff, I highly recommend Lowes. I used to purchase "cheap" plant every spring at box stores but since I have been shopping at Lowes my gardening efforts are so much more successful. Buying quality plants has made my yard beautiful all spring, summer and fall. The plants last till the first frost and look fabulous from day one. I can also recommend Lowes landscaping division. Jeff Griff did a beautiful landscape project in our back yard for my son's play ground. It was done on time and on budget and looks great. Very appreciative.
