Finding Plants for the Water's Edge

moose tracks · 08-12-2007, 12:11 PM

I want to do some landscaping by the water’s edge. I am looking for plants that occur near water in their natural habitats. I purchased two books from the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension “Landscaping at the Water’s Edge” & “The Best Plants for New Hampshire Gardens and Landscapes”. These books provide an ecological approach to shoreland landscaping and are both very good. I now have an idea on what plants I want to plant, but I am having a difficult time finding them at the local nurseries. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy plants suitable for planting at the water’s edge?
