Benefits of Buying Wholesale Plants From Your Local Garden Center
Benefits of Buying Wholesale Plants
It can be tempting to just buy plants from a retail store because it is convenient. However, the amount of benefits there are to shopping at a local garden center or garden nursery definitely outweighs the convenience of a retail store. From price to health, here are the benefits of shopping at a local garden center:
Price - Buying wholesale plants from a local garden center makes them cheaper because you are buying the plants in bulk. Just like food, the larger the package, the better the deal. However, sometimes stores trick you, so checking the unit price for every item is a good habit to get into.
Employee expertise - Local garden centers have staff who are experts when it comes to plants. Basically, they can answer any questions you have about temperature, light, climate or anything else about each individual plant.
Health of plants - Plants from a garden nursery are more likely to live longer lives free of disease, due to the environment they grew up in. The plants from a garden nursery will be strong and have more resistance to diseases.
You can buy native plants - In a local garden center they often grow some plants that are native to the area. If they do, those are some of the best plants to buy because they are used to all the seasons in that particular area. The reason that’s good is because they are less likely to die when the weather changes.
