Wow! The quality and size of the plants I received were amazing. I've paid more for smaller, less healthy plants at more well-known on-line nurseries. I would definately order again.

I purchased 7 native plants from them this year and I was amazed at their size and good condition. I have never received such large, fine specimens in all the years I have been buying via mail order. For the cost vs. size comparison, you won't be able to find a better deal. I highly recommend!
They are great. They have a wonderful selection. When I ordered the seeds it only took a week for them to arrive:) I will be doing business with them again sometime:)
This is a great source for natives. The catalog is the best information I have found anywhere and the seeds have been fresh and true to name. I ordered Amorpha canescens and the roots were really nice and big, especially for a slow grower like lead plant. Good service.
Catalog very detailed. Suprisingly good customer service.
In fact, the customer service is very honest, even when
it might not be the best business move to be THAT honest.
I was very impressed by this. Plants arrived in excellent
condition and took off right away. PMN seems as interested
in helping its customers make educated and wise choices.
It is a company that anyone should feel proud supporting.
Ditto on the prior comments about their catalog.
I've ordered both plants and seed; the seed mixes look good and the instructions that come with them explain exactly what you need to do. The forbs I've ordered were small and would easily get lost in a wild setting their first year (the quality was good, though; just smaller than I expected). The trees and shrubs, however, were good size with good root systems.
I have been buying from them for years. Their catalog is the high point of winter when it arrives (although now I get it sooner via PDF). Their plants are high quality and if you goof it's your fault because the catalog tells you everything you need to know. At least one other nursery uses their germination codes. They answer e-mails and never sound busy on the phone. My only problem is my acid soil probably hampers their alkaline-soil grown plants.

Although the service is still outstanding, perhaps they are too busy to acknowledge e-mails now.
Online ordering makes sure you get the plant you want or you know right away so you can select a substitute.
I have transferred their catalog to a database, which I refer to often.
