I agree but sometimes I end up at Lowe's because the smaller nursery doesn't have what I need. But, the employees at the nursery are definitely more knowledgeable. In fact, no one at Lowe's seems to know much about plants, gardening, soil or anything else landscaping-related.
Fortunately, the University of Florida and a local botanical gardens have bi-annual plant sales that offer a wonderful selection of native plants. Only problem is those sales attract so many people that I have gone near them since the start of the pandemic.
