> Dear Thara Baker-Alley
Search 'arboretums'- some of the
excellent arboretums and
gardens in the South-Beinheim Forest Near Louisville, Ky., J.C. Raulston
Arboretum
@ North Carolina State Univ., Raleigh, NC. and there are many links to
related sites. I am a horticulturist and owner of a small propagation
nursery specializing in southeast native plants and a few exocitics. I am a
graduate of the Univ. of Ga. Welcome to the South !
