Some new reviews from the ATP Green Pages:

aspenhill recommended Garden Vision and wrote:

I was looking for a source for Epimediums for planting my new Epimedium Walk garden area in 2015. For anyone with a deer problem, Epimediums are resistant to their browsing, at least they have been for me. However, it is hard to find more than a few cultivars locally and I found Garden Vision via internet searches. They have been selling Epimediums since 1997. The plants they offer represent the work of Epimedium expert, Darrell Probst. They have a nice online catalog, but are not yet set up to take online orders. They take orders via an order form that can either be faxed or mailed, and also sell at local plant sales throughout the North East. The online catalog features good color photographs and descriptions and the selection of Epimediums is extensive. My experience with the ordering and communication with Karen Perkins was personable and exceptional. I ordered close to 30 different cultivars to get my collection kick started. The plants were very healthy and packed nicely in flat rate USPS shipping boxes. I can recommend a highest rating for Garden Vision.

We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
