David Bates and his team are excellent resources for any shade of color green thumb! There is a plethora of plant varieties available as well as professional advice if needed. I had been having a problem with my Spirea and Bates instantly knew my problem whereas two other gardening centers had no idea. Whether you are an accomplished green thumb or a gardening 'dabbler' - Bates is worth a drive to walk through the plants to get ideas and see new plants! I make it a trip at least once a month from April through October, and people still comment how great my yard continues to 'grow in color' every year! I credit it to Bates helping to achieve the ongoing seasonal blooms!\r
Pros: Excellent selection, Professional help
Cons: It can be a long drive - but worth every mile!!!
