I bought from Homeclick for the best price at the time and free shipping. My only negative comment is made, as an environmentally conscious person, on the packaging. Everything was packed with humongous foam-type bolsters, which cannot be recycled, reused, or even reduced.

So glad you posted this Oakley! I have always ordered from Breck's Bulbs (so did my mother) and never heard of Brent & Becky's Just for grins I did a price comparison on a very common peony, Sarah Bernhardt. I'll do more price comparison in the future based on this for sure! Breck's Sarah Bernhardt Peony 2 - 3 eyes $12.95 Brent & Becky's Sarah Bernhardt Peony 3 - 5 eyes $8.75

Surprisingly, Home Depot's "Exclusive Fabrics" colletion is very nice. I ordered a pair and they were very well made and lined, and constructed so that hooks, rings, tab, pocket any type of hanging would work. Also Spoonflower sells fabric and makes drapery panels (and comforter covers, table linens etc) Tip from a fellow Houzzer. https://www.homedepot.com/b/Window-Treatments-Curtains-Room-Darkening-Curtains/Exclusive-Fabrics-Furnishings/Geometric/N-5yc1vZ1z18gswZg7dZ1z19x6r/Ntk-elasticplus/Ntt-curtains?NCNI-5&sortby=bestmatch&sortorder=none

@Mrs. S $25 is a going rate in my area for entry-level workers. If an artist is 45 years old and has been working commercially for many years no doubt they make more. I would pay more for experience. I have no doubt that your business-savvy kids make $35. I just searched Nextdoor for faux painters and that listed commercial businesses. I will contact those too. I work with commercial gardeners all the time. Most of these "gardening" businesses are lawn sweepers and garden hackers. If I give them a project to install an irrigation line they are okay. If I give them a more nuanced project to mix up a custom soil mix using a careful formula of ingredients in bins that I store, they mostly get that wrong. These businesses want to come in to "do a project" at a time that is convenient for them, bringing in three or four people to just bang it out and then they leave. It's not what I want or need. I currently have a list of about 34 tasks to get done around my garden, and I just want a task-oriented person to hang out with me a few times a week banging out those projects, but taking the time to improvise, correct when there are problems, and just work through in a way that is convenient to my schedule. Gardening businesses are not structured to loan you out one person on a time and materials basis. Everything is about defining projects, which to pay for their crew of three or four people requires a higher project cost. I totally understand if you are a tech worker making a million dollars a year that you will just pay a landscaping firm $100K and they will do whatever they do. It's not what I am looking for. I have some simple garden elements in my garden that are extraordinary, and I did not get that by hiring gardeners. I got those elements by doing experiments and making dozens of mistakes until I found designs that worked for the area in question.
