resources

Just starting rock garden. Would you please give me some sites or tell me where I might get print catalogs for rock and alpine plants> Thanks Shirley

Here's a site with lots of gorgeous pictures:

http://www.thealpinegarden.com/default.htm

And the North American Rock Garden Society site provides articles on how
to build a rock garden and pictures & links

http://www.nargs.org/

Are you looking for sites that will help you purchase alpines / rock garden plants?
I'll come back tonight to check... gotta get to work right now.

I'm a newbie, too. But I've been looking for a long time.

here's a couple of online nurseries

http://www.wildgingerfarm.com/
http://www.wrightmanalpines.com/
http://www.evermaynursery.com

this one has some great links to other sites and articles

alpine plants database
http://web.kadel.cz/flora/

Thanks guys I appreciate your kindness in hunting these fo rme. Yes I am looking also for purchasing plants Just now starting so unsure of what I want. Also interested in seeds Shirley

My favorite sources for seed besides the NARGS seedex are www.rmrp.com "Rocky Mountain Rare Plants" and www.Alplains.com "Alplains". You'll have to call or e-mail Alplains for a catalogue as their website isn't up yet.

I've also been looking at the following as well.... still haven't ordered from them but they have some very interesting offerings:

www.jjaseeds.com/ "Jim and Jenny Archibalds site"
www.gardensnorth.com/site/index.htm "Gardens North"
www.silverhillseeds.co.za/ "Silverhill Seed"
www.mesagarden.com "Mesa Gardens" Cacti and assort. succulents

Another favorite plants source is www.rockgardenplants.com/"Beaver Creek Greenhouse"

If you are a member of NARGS the quarterlies also have advertisments with information to several other sources that I have yet to try.

If you search this link for "seed/plant sources you should come up with alot of information. https://listserv.surfnet.nl/scripts/wa.exe?A0=alpine-l. Hope this works.
