Where can I buy tomato plants Heritage in Manhattan, New York?
I prefer to buy local and see the first plants.
I suggest using the directory, so you can get up! LOL. Seriously, start looking for garden centers and greenhouses or appeal. A clue may be to find one that has an aggressive advertising. I know this sounds weird, but if they have money for ads who may stock something flashy and heritage plants. Perhaps aware of another store that does. Do not waste your time in the retail chains.
