I thought you may be better off from the wildlife close to the water.
Also it's a good microclimate, the water moderates temperature extremes. My Mom's place is near the ocean and our microclimates are very different a few km apart. Snow at my place, rain at hers. She's much less likely to have a frost than I do inland.
I was very happy with the quality from Corn Hill.
It is tricky to ship from places where their season is not identical to ours, usually they warm up earlier, so you may have to hold dormant stock here until the ground thaws in spring.
Lilacs in July, oh my.
