ABSOLUTELY!

I'm not wealthy enough to get there fast but "started much of her garden, which she hopes to have become a food forest and a sanctuary for birds and pollinators" is my hope too!

One member, sadly I forget which one, said she buys only at nurseries where she SEES bees, butterflies, etc. If they are not at the plants, there's something wrong with the plants. I had never thought to put a nursery to that test, but it certainly makes sense. START with smaller, locally owned nurseries and look for pollinators. And one step farther, I'd ASK if they are strictly organic. If yes, I'm HOME. If no, not strictly, I'll buy there carefully until I find one that answers yes!
