Poundridge Nurseries has one of the finer collections of heirloom tomatoes in the region, including ones I couldn't find anywhere else. On a recent visit, I was impressed by the vast collection of different impatiens in all colors. They also have a nice collection of roses of all types. Poundridge has a wide variety of perennials, both sun and shade. You'll pay a little more here (in the $16-$25 range, rather than $12-$18 elsewhere) but, as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for. The plants here are larger and generally in excellent condition. If you want instant impact in your garden, shop at Poundridge Nurseries.
