I have been looking for more ‘Baby Gem’ boxwoods to finish out the front garden. I have all my “nursery haunts” as I call them. We just want to get it right or as close as we can before the HOT weather sets in, especially in a high traffic area. I applaud your efforts! I think it will look wonderful!Lucy Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09003475476247235443noreply@blogger.com
