Herbal Suggestions for nurseries or mail-order companies

[moldy]

I want to grow as many of my own herbs as possible. Until I have a green house, I"m not starting the tropical plants - but I'd like to get some viburnum, hops, hawthorn, lobelia, meadowsweet, etc. I can't find places that sell them. I would prefer companies that avoid GMOs, but I want to get these plants started. Any recommendations?

IF these folks don't have them, you probably can't find them!

Great service, good seeds

Oh, be aware that hawthorn has long, dangerous and toxic thorns. Almost any thorn puncture will end up with part of the tip left in the flesh, and a nearly inevitable cellulitis infection. They're NASTY. (oddly, we have them all over our woods pasture, and our Dexter cows EAT them... there is a browse line as far as they can reach! I have NO idea how... those thorns are 2" long!)

We have honey locust (at least that's what I think it is) with long nasty thorns, too. I've always wondered if maybe native people used them for needles.
