  1. A co-worker told me about Growers Produce and I can hardly wait to pay you a visit. I am trying to do my flower beds and land scaping myself I realize it is a big job. I need flowers for beds and trees. What do you suggest something that will bloom from Spring to Fall. I need trees for privacy and beauty to line my driveway. Give an old girl some help it would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks,
