North Haven Gardens

I've really been keen on starting up my herb and flower garden again, and I'm really happy to say that I've found a very nice nursery that would help me do so.  Home Depot had no herbs to speak of when I stopped by there, and the very helpful associate in the Garden Center recommended I do research online to find out "what grows well in the fall in Texas".

To my delight, North Haven Gardens had most of the herbs I wanted and more (the only herbs they didn't have were Spring herbs like parsley and cilantro).  I walked out with two kinds of mint (spearmint and peppermint), a trailing rosemary, Provence lavender, a "hot 'n' spicy" oregano, English thyme, and Genovese basil.  I'm pretty sure Home Depot carry only have the thyme and possibly one of the mints when they have them in stock.

North Haven also has little bay leaf trees, one of which I'm currently plotting to acquire.

Did I mention how helpful and accommodating the staff was?  I think I must have had three or four people ask me if they could help me out, and when I had a question that one of them couldn't answer, she sent the garden specialist my way.

For those who are interested, they also have lots of organic soils, fertilizers, bug sprays, et. al.

Once I find my little point-and-shoot camera I'll post photos.  I can't wait until next Spring for strawberry plants!
