We want to put in 2 conifers to help with a privacy issue where the garden fence is low. Any suggestions where to go? Thanks |

Dubrow's is not the cheapest but they warantee the plants (for a year, I think), which others may not do. And each staff member is very knowlegeable.
Just make sure you get the right variety for the amount of light the area gets. We wasted $500 seven years ago putting in a row of 7 arborvitae instead of a fence as a backyard neighbor screen. Only one has survived, after being transplanted to another location, because they needed full sun and weren't getting it. |

Most of the Landscapers around goto Orange Garden Supply ... I got my shrubs there last spring and was amazed at both the selection and the quality.

Orange Garden Supply does sell to the public. My landscaper turned me on to the place. It is set back in a neighborhood in Orange, just over the West Orange border. It is on the corner of Clevland and Alden Ave in Orange. 973-672-2212.
If you know where the Edison factory is in West Orange, turn right off of Main St. Head back a few blocks and make a left. Great place. |

that is correct Maplewoody (by the way, LOVE the name...makes me grin every time). I believe that is Lakeland Ave. Make that right, head down about 3 blocks and turn left. OGS is about two more blocks down. It is not fancy or fussy, but they have a great variety and know their stuff. I love going there. |
