Hello,

Newbie question: I fenced in a wooded area in my backyard and created nature trails for walking/sitting (1/4 acre) so now I need help in where to purchuse inexpensive plants and which ones to start with?

My wife and I would like to start a wildflower garden and also plant flowers along the nature trails (see photo). So far we have only planted azalea bushes purchused at Pikes but we are ready to get creative!

For a starter, is there a fairly inexpensive way to start things off and are certain flowers better than others to begin with? Or is it just a matter of taste and what appeals to each person as you walk down the isles at Pikes or Home Depot??

Best regards,
Frank and Toni
