Spring is just a few days away and many of us at Smith Mountain Lake are starting to think about what we want to plant in the yard and the garden already. Last year I had a little bit of a hard time finding just what I wanted at Wal-Mart and so this year I decided to expand my search. I was pleased to find more landscaping and gardening suppliers than I knew existed. If you have not been to see the offerings of the season, then a trip to one of these lovely growers may stimulate your greenthumb.
