Can you buy through their catalog somehow, or do you have to go in person?

I don't know if you can buy from them in person. I always thought they were growers like Monrovia except they only do Texas natives. I have their plant tags from plants I've bought at Blooming Colors in Grapevine. I may have seen their plants in other places as well. So you might check with the nurseries that specialize in Texas Natives.

Has anyone bought milkseeds from livemonarch before?
Q
Comments (7)
I just purchased 2 pop up enclosures, and a couple other items from LiveMonarch this summer. The order came very quickly, was 100% intact, and it included a little bag of milkweed seeds. Kind of dumb though, they didn't label the seeds and I don't know know what species they are (probably Asclepias curassavica). I love the pop ups (bought the small and large size) - especially the smaller one - it's 12 inches square. I started putting the Monarch chrysalises that were darkening in this one so they could eclose separately from the other chrysalises and cats. I'm also thinking about over-wintering my Black Swallowtails chrysalises in the small pop up. They appear to be better quality than the one I got from Educational Science, but I use that one a lot too. Here is a link that might be useful: Live Monarch protective enclosures

Has anyone bought anything from Signature Hardware?
Q
Comments (41)
After reading through all these comments, I was concerned about the quality of SH. I looked up the spec sheet on the faucet I am interested in buying and it has the following certifications: cUPC ASME A11.18.1 NSF/ANS I61 NSF/ANSI 372 ICC/ANSI A117.1 This covers, among other things: lead free, safe for drinking, supply fittings. In fact, they address lead free specifically in their FAQs: " All Signature Hardware kitchen and bathroom sink faucets are compliant with lead regulations determined by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This includes NSF/ANSI 61 (to meet North American drinking water standards) as well as AB1953 (to meet California drinking water standards). They are safe to use, as required by law, and undergo a rigorous testing and inspection process before being authorized for sale. We are also proud to stand behind our products with our warranty. " And their faucets have a 25 year warranty. I couldn't find anything about where they manufacture, but even if assembled here, I'm sure there are parts that come from China. You'll be hard pressed to find an all American made & assembled product of any sort. Many of the concerning posts were from years past so it looks like SH has made improvements since then. I will go ahead with my plan to purchase faucets for my kitchen reno. Fingers crossed!

Has anyone ever bought a sofa from Modsy's Ravine Home?
Q
Comments (2)
We waited about 8 months for our Ravine Home sectional. I am extremely disappointed with it. We specifically selected their performance fabric after telling our designer that we have a large dog that sleeps on our couches. We have kept the section that our dog lays on covered with a blanket at all times but the fabric under is already looking worn and tired in less than a year. The spot where my husband usually sits looks even worse. The sectional looks nice but I don’t recommend it if you actually plan to use it.

I emailed them earlier this year to check on the availability of a plant I was looking for. They emailed me back with the size and price. I didn't ask them if they shipped as I was planning on going up there. However, I found the item I was looking for at a local nursery.

I drove to Kerrville to pick up ONE very unique plant some a few years ago... can't remember which one now. It was a very enjoyable experience!

I don't think they do any shipping. Lucky me, it's not too far. I love that place. If anyone goes there, you'll see some really good native plants...they don't grow as many kinds of plants as they did back when Betty (who passed on to wildflower heaven) was in charge. But if you don't see something you want, just ask, it can't hurt. There's some plants they keep in their greenhouse also. Medina Garden Nursery (I think that's what it's called) is in nearby Medina, Texas and is worth a visit also. Native plants all over and what a beautiful garden!

OK, Roselee, road trip needs to be planned. I see they have a couple things I have been looking for. Is this the place you found the ? mimosa?

Native of Texas had the Fragrant mimosa, but then I found it at Rainbow who gets native plants from another strictly wholesale grower. I got the Velvet pod mimosa at Schumachers, but have never seen another one. I was just thinking of starting some from seed for the next swap.

I did visit Natives of Texas years ago and they were VERY nice people. I bought several things, including the Texas Madrone, but I couldn't keep it going. I think I need to go again -- since I'm cutting back on gardening ... hahahaha!
