Some of them I believe you have to have a landscapers license but a lot are open for public... we like Doug Young’s
Doug Young is my go to place up there. They will sell to anybody but tack on a surcharge if you’re not “in the industry “
I usually make a trip up there once a year or so

If you like pies go to the place in Lecompte. Lea’s. They have some good pies.

Yep...Forest Hill Speedway. I watched many fights break out among drivers on Saturday nights of my childhood!

How is this sustainable for such a small town?
They just really love their plants over there.

I was talking about Forest Hill in general.

They ship all across the United States. The reason there are so many is because of consolidation of resources and pretty much the entire workforce in the area knows the business. The nurseries all work with one another and lots of time consolidate shipping if they can’t fill an entire truck. Lots and lots of ‘undocumented immigrants’ living 15 to a trailer there too.
yep. My last two houses were new construction and Forest Hill is the best way for handling my landscape needs, For me, the selection, pricing, plant availability and quality are worth making the trip.

My Mexican yard man goes there and never disappoints.

Ground water quality is what’s makes it sustainable, just like the pocket of growers in the Amite/Folsom area.

Get rid of welfare for healthy people and get rid of the illegals
As can be seen in the many other countries of the world that have no welfare system there will always be a certain percentage of people that are not going to work regardless if they are able, and they are not going to starve. Crime, pan handling, and the number of homeless on the streets will skyrocket, squatters will occupy vacant areas, shanty towns will form and grow for housing.

I heard also that it has to do with the quality of the water in this area.
