Large Scale Central

On Line Plant Ordering?

Gardening
#1

I know of Mini Forest:
http://www.miniforest.com/

Are there any others that are out there that offer a wide variety of miniature plants?
I really am going to add some plants to my railway this year and I need to get started figuring out just how many and when to order.

I will be shopping my local DIY centers as soon as spring arrives, but there are some specialty plants that I doubt I will find at the DIY’s.

Any other recommendation would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Sean, I used to buy a LOT of stuff at Briggs Nurseries.
That’s where I went and looked this past summer and found there G-scale train layout in ruins, looks like it had not been touched in many years.
We went late in the season and they didn’t have anything left worth buying (for what I was looking for anyway)
I will certainly be heading there EARLY spring this year and see how the ground cover selection looks.
They always had the healthiest looking plants around.
