Marcus is very knowledgeable. Very helpful and willing to share information, especially concerning native wildflowers. Great selection as well.
I’m going to post my garden progress because it’s insane!! These are the best quality plants I’ve ever had. Also I think a lot of my success is due to his soil! Highly recommend over anyone else. I will drive from Natchitoches every time to get his product. Worth every penny. Photos in the comments!
