  • Good place online to find shrub pics?

    Im looking to put a guide of pictures together of shrubs to give to my customers, who are thinking of plantings. It gets kinna tedious trying to remember and describe different shrubs. I was planning on looking online for some pictures. Do you guys have any ideas as to where I might find a good handful pictures of single pic shrubs? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

            Plant Guide

            One of my local nursery's puts together a catalog each year with picture and name of plants and trees. Make sure they are aware you are a professional and you might be surprised how many offer this service. Each year they give me a new 3 ring binder complete with my company name on the cover and give it to me around Christmas. I'm sure there are others like them out there. When discussing installs with customer I just grab my binder and let them go through the pictures. No prices, no mention of the nursery, just my name on front cover. I keep the price list seperate in the truck. I don't mention any of my suppliers to customers and have never been asked.

                Is it better to use the scientific name or what the shrub is known as name? Im not having a whole lot of luck yet.

                  Would one of the Michael Dirr DVDs have alot of the pictures I would be looking for? Wondering if it would be worth the purchase.

                    There is a book that ortho makes it is very detailed it has over 500 of the most popular shrubs in nice color pictures it also gives much detail about each shrub and its attributes and it works like a charm.

                    you can get it at home depot or lowes.

                      Do you think the home depot landscape store might have it as well?
