I think you will find several nurseries that sell to the public. I know Holloway Nursery along Hwy 165 sells to the public and I see signs along the road at other places saying retail and wholesale.

there are many nurseries that you can choose from all over forest hill. i like sam stokes nursery , dyn, and forest hill nursery. if you take hwy 112(Lecompte/Forest Hill) ,all you have to do is go down that road and choose what nursery you want to go to. there are many.Hwy 112 links Hwy 71 to Hwy 165.

My sister and I went there many many years ago and there were herds of nurseries. I've never seen so many in one place before. It was awesome! Needless to say we were in flower heaven! lol I bought a fatsia plant there and now that thing is huge!!! I planted it beside out 3 ton AC unit to hide it and it's done it's job! lol
