    Excellent source of native plants

    I am very happy with both the price and the quality of plants from Eden of Wings. They have hard-to-find host plants for butterflies at a great price. The shipping of the large plants was done with great care and arrived safely and quickly. Many thanks Eden of Wings - I'm impressed.
