[Green] Plant acquisition for fall planting of Fort Street site

[gbanz42 at suddenlink.net]

Rebecca,

    My inclination would be to go with this wholesale distributor--reduced price and wide selection. Would we have to buy pots for all our acquisitions?

Unfortunately, wholesale requires a $500 minimum order, which is too much for that small site. Would we be interested in sharing an order for flats of landscape plugs? One problem, though, is that if we do so, we will need volunteers to transfer the plugs into larger pots and babysit them for the summer. Another issue is that we would be getting either 50 or 32 of a single species, depending on plug size (except for those plant flats we split with the other site).
