Louise--I definitely agree! I much prefer to buy living plants from people who can actually tell me how to care for them. Eric--I agree. Even when Wal-Mart has something I would like to buy, I shop elsewhere because I can't stand how messy and disheveled the stores near me always look.

I can't bring myself to but anything from wally world. I agree with Louise I'd rather support the local nursery with my hard earned money. Pathetic looking things!

I rather support my local nursery because they take good care of their plants and trees. Although I go to Walmart for gardening supplies. I’d have to agree.

Doing the "rah, rah, go team go" dance for each other. One of them said "So, we are looking pretty good around here." I just smirked and thought to myself, obviously you guys DON"T know what a good live plant looks like. Honestly, you get what you deserve if you buy plants at Walmart that are more than 3 days old.
