We just did two of our bedroom walls in knotty pine, not ship lap but tongue and groove. After we sealed we used a ...

I think it all depends on what it does to your space. Are you going to add outdoor living features like patio, walkways, walls, fire features, built in outdoor kitchen etc. If your doing that kind of landscaping then I see a big return on investment.

some places will have live plants but most online will be seed. I love baker creek, and johnny seed co. For plants it all depends on what your after. A place to check that people often forget is etsy. I was able to buy a lot of native medicinal plants to start patches in the woods around our house.

Try facebook marketplace. It has a lot of traffic. You could also try iron planet. There are a lot of tractor forums out there, if you find one dedicated to your make/model etc you could see if they have a classified there. Tractor by net is a friendly site but there are a lot of other ones too.
