I've visited more than my usual number of haunts for plants this spring. While far from an exhaustive search of St. Louis area nurseries and plant outlets, I've learned enough to make a list of my current favorite places.
Best conventional herbs: Biver Farms, selling at the Kirkwood Farmers Market
Best unusual herbs: St. Louis Herb Society, selling during the Missouri Botanical Garden's Herb Days (scroll down to April 16-19). Today, they had a non-flowering basil, scented annual geraniums that can be used in cooking, and large stevia plants.
Best unusual annuals: Meramec Horticulture Club selling at St. Louis Community College - Meramec, Great Plant Sale (April 18, 9am-7pm and April 19, 8am - 12pm for 2008)
Best native shade perennials: Gateway Greening, selling at St. Louis Community College - Meramec, Great Plant Sale
Best native sun perennials: Missouri Wildflowers Nursery, selling at the Kirkwood Farmers Market
Best vegetable plants: Thies Farm
Best trees and shrubs: Schmittel's Nursery
