Hi, I was just curious as to why there doesn't appear to be any Nurseries listed, for availablity of plants listed (or often photgraphed) in the Database. Is there some reason to not add this feature? When I Google certain plants, I am overwhelmed by Pinterest results, not to mention ads, (which may only offer plants of that genus, )but often do not even have the particular cv. offered! It seems it would be a good feature if it were included.
Thanks, Shawn

Hi Shawn,

This feature does exist, but it is paid advertising for the nurseries, so you will only see nurseries that have done so listed as vendors in the plant database.

Shawn, there are listings in some but not all plant pages. I have no idea what the criteria is for being listed or not - maybe some sort of ad revenue? But, for example, go to this common plant: Sedum (Hylotelephium spectabile 'Herbstfreude') At the very top of the data page is a listing of two nurseries one could order from. Perhaps one of the site owners will clarify further.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
