Best Plant Nurseries In Pittsburgh

It's often said the best nursery is the closest one to your house. One thing is for sure - if you want the best plants at a good price, go to a nursery or garden center. They have a better selection, and they take care of their plants year round. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette garden guru says any of the garden centers below can order what you want if they don't carry it. He also says get to know the people who run the nursery so they know what you like. The families that run the nurseries below are the salt of the earth.
