This sizable nursery started out selling only on the Web but became a brick-and-mortar operation in 2004. It carries hundreds of varieties of rare edible, medicinal, fragrant, exotic and flowering plants; fruit trees; spices; and herbs. Owners Tatiana Anderson and Mike Dubinovsky, originally from Russia, possess a vast knowledge of plants and offer information about identification, care and uses through plant clinics and their vast Web site. Distinctive items include dwarf ylang-ylang, sugar apple, neem and stevia. Some of the plants can be found at lower prices elsewhere, but not without a good deal of hunting.
