Finding a Good Lancaster Nursery

It's Spring, and if you're the green thumb type, you've probably been itching to dig around in the garden or flower bed. Before you jump in and get to work, however, you'll likely need to pick up some plants to fill out your landscape. But where do you get them? How do you find a good Lancaster nursery? Here are a few questions you should ask of yourself and of the nursery.

  • Is there good plant variety?
  • Is the staff good at what they do? Are they knowledgeable about their plants?
  • Are the plants at the nursery in good condition?
  • Do the employees help you find what you're looking for?
  • Are the prices reasonable?
When you take all of these things into consideration and start searching, you're bound to find Root's Nurseries, the Manheim-based nursery and landscaping company that those in the Lancaster area have trusted for over 100 years. Interested in learning more? Give us a call today at (717) 898-0041.
