The trust just isn't there for nurseries. Most don't know (or don't want to know) what the plants are treated with before they get them in. I know one native plant nursery owner in my general area who cares about the bees and butterflies, etc. He grows his own plants without all the toxic pesticides. It's a great place to visit, too!
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
