Though it's off the beaten path, the Landscape Designs Nursery in McFarland is one of my favorite places to purchase trees and shrubs. The nursery is tucked into a forest, protecting the plants from hot sun in the summer and the icy winds in the winter, so the tree and shrubs I purchase are always in premo condition. The selection of plants is excellent as well (see the website for in-stock inventory) and if they don't have a tree or shrub that I am looking for, they will order it for me. Kristine, the nursery manager, is über-helpful and always is able to answer my questions about how to care for a particular cultivar.
One word of caution, if the weather is bad, call ahead to make sure the nursery is open. They often close in inclement conditions. read more
