That always inspires a frenzied search once I realize I've made a mistake. <br />I'm glad to hear Plant Delights had good service. I've always ogled their plant selection, but their list of disclaimers on their order form were almost intimidating, they had me a little afraid to contact them.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-52286835678501313292009-11-11T20:16:10.391-08:002009-11-11T20:16:10.391-08:00Karen, the waste gas (and time!) factor was playin...Karen, the waste gas (and time!) factor was playing big in my mind when I decided to take the plunge.<br /><br />ricki, yes! In certain circumstances...<br /><br />Randy, oh my. That would be a little disheartening. But to visit the gardens must be extraordinary?!<br /><br />how it grows, I hate to admit the thrill of the shipment arrival was addictive!<br /><br />Grace, I so wish I had been aware when the old Heronswood was viable. To think I lived across the Sound in Seattle and I was oblivious.<br /><br />Pam, budget be damned. I couldn't do it every month but I was feeling a little "angelic" from me lack of craziness on our vacation. At least that is how I am rationalizing it.<br /><br />Nicole, thank you! I never would had if you hadn't made it so easy. So explain...can you not mail order? Or is it just too expensive?danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37918970026281216522009-11-11T18:54:29.577-08:002009-11-11T18:54:29.577-08:00Glad you got it.

Like you, I'm an in-person shopper, partly because the shipping costs are so high for plants by mail. But if ever my plant budget recovers from recent purchases (and right before Xmas, no less), I may break down and do a little clicking at Plant Delights myself.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-37477350501645670652009-11-10T21:27:31.165-08:002009-11-10T21:27:31.165-08:00Hi Loree~~ These newbies are fabulous!

Nice going. <br /><br />Living here in the plant capitol of the world, it seems almost foolish to buy plants online, especially with the pricey shipping charges. But like you pointed out, there are times when a must-have can't be found locally. Through the years, I've ordered plants from Forest Farm, the old Heronswood, Big Dipper Farms, Annie's Annuals and Heirloom roses. I've never been disappointed. And all but Annie's are here in the PNW. Purusing nursery websites all winter is FUN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-87898141466384207292009-11-10T18:44:37.333-08:002009-11-10T18:44:37.333-08:00Though I'd rather shop in person, there are so...Though I'd rather shop in person, there are so many plants I can't get other than through mail order. It's always fun to get a new shipment.

I think it's a good option when you can't find what you need locally or would waste gas driving around looking for something your heart is set on.Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
