Atlanta is the biggest city right now. The location in central Georgia means that the growing season here is long. More plants in climates where the weather will not be terribly extreme. In early spring, Atlantans begin migrating in droves to the area to establish many fine gardens in perennials; they can buy bulbs, get lawn equipment and soil additives and even learn to build their own backyard ponds. All of the centers we’ve highlighted have nurseries that specialize in plants that are either native or adapted to Atlanta’s specific climate and soil type. He makes nothing but plants and trees.
