What gets you to a certain nursery?

Dear John:
Staff with a good knowledge, unusual but worthy plants, discount for
professionals, delivery service, being able to obtain larger sizes if
needed, all plants top quality and kept that way in the nursery.
Selection of books and good range of organic fertilizers and
environmentally friendly pest and disease control products. Cheers John

I am thinking about opening a retail location and I
would like to pick everyones brain.
Why do you go to certain reatilaers to do your "daily"
purchasing? What extra touches do they give you?
I am looking for input on locations as well. I am very
open to possibilities but there have been many
suggestions/disagreesments. Some suggestions are -
Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Culver City, Venice (Abbot
Kinney), and Pacific Palisades.
My aim is to open a retail store with a garden/nursery
area, and florist with gourmet/gift items.
I know a lot of the Westside is saturated. I want a
young, rich area with clients who would be more apt to
buy things for art rather than the quick fix/instant
gratification color sale. I am very traditional in
design but forward thinking too and I want to push the
limit of possibilities with the art in the garden as I
have shown in my articles in "The Bulb Garden".
So, what does everyone think? I welcome everyones
feedback. You can email me privately if you wish.
Thanks.
