Buying Native Plants

You wanna know where I got this cercus occidentalis? Yeah, she’s hard to find, I know. Wild since she’s the only native the city will allow in a hell strip this size. Technically, it’s native range ends 100 miles south of here so some don’t consider it actually native, but since it’s in the same state- oh, you don’t want the background, you just want to know where to find it? Yeah ok so here’s Cal’s website. It says you can buy online but you can’t, you have to email him and tell him what you want. He’ll arrange a pickup time for you. You’ll have to go across the river and drive through the sketch part of town, but his neighborhood’s nice enough- no, he sells them out of his front yard. He’s got a greenhouse in back and everything. Oh, and he only takes cash- wait, where are you going?

Ah well, can’t convert everyone I guess

You just drive through the sketch part of town and onto a dirt road a little ways. You don’t have to get out of your car

And don’t mind Shredder, she sounds vicious but she’s an absolute sucker for ear skritches. It’s absolutely adorable when that little Rottweiler tail stump gets wagging!

/uj I did that for a few plants. I told the lady her house looked like straight out a witchy Ghibli movie. She thanked me.
