Yes, I so feel your pain, Tiffany. I have one nursery left, and it has been letting go of id's and care and plant development for a couple years now. They are not selling a plant with a proper root system if they can sell a cutting stuck in some soil for the same price. Even succulents. It's really hard to watch the deterioration. They are apparently so hurting, they leave plants with obvious bugs on the shelves, endangering their own plants as well as mine. Customers move plants all over all the time, so I have to wonder how much they are throwing out, when the webbing is really bad. I miss them when they gave their all to never let this happen. I am sure they are struggling under the big box prices. I have and would stay loyal, and I purchase more plants than most. But, 50 people like myself could not keep a good nursery open. I have a couple little mom and pops places that are off the beaten path that are still holding on to their integrity as hard as they can. They deserve some serious kudos.
