Landscape Plants for sale $4.97 each!

Hundreds to choose from, all in one gallon pots.

All of the above listed plants are propagated and grown here in my yard. They’re not grown in a greenhouse nor do I use any winter plastic cover for protection on them. They get whatever Mom Nature has to dish out to ensure you get a tough plant to survive in our sometimes very cold and sometimes nasty climate around the St. Louis area.

My nursery is open from April 15th through October 15th, by appointment only.  I am located between Dupo and Columbia, IL. about 7 minutes from the JB Bridge and about 25 minutes from the arch and Poplar Street Bridge in St. Louis , Mo.,   I am retired, so I am here almost all of the time working in the nursery.

Thanks for looking at this add. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have. It’s best to Google my address for directions, I don’t want to get you lost.

    Hi,
    Can you ship to me if I buy from you and do you have a minimum amount for an order? I’m just getting started and don’t have a lot of extra funding to play with.
