Cathy we are neighbors. For the longest time the closest ATP member was almost 70 miles away. I've been very active in the Plants of Merit Program which is going away. Not sure if they are keeping the website up or not. I'm also a member of the St. Louis Hosta Society and a Master Gardener Volunteer in St Charles County. Do you get High Country Gardens Catalog? They offer lots of plants for waterwise gardens. My favorite local nurseries are Greenscape and Wiethop Greenhouses.
