We often get this question. A plant nursery like Maryflower grows and cares for plants until they are mature enough to be used by gardeners, landscapers, and other customers. Nurseries can specialize in producing a particular type of plant, such as shrubs, trees, annuals, perennials, or succulents, or they may offer a wide variety of plants.
How do the plants grow at a plant nursery?
You often find an open-air growing area with grow tunnels or a greenhouse at a plant nursery. Both have a setup that helps shelter new plants from the elements. A nursery also has complex watering systems to adequately water the plants are as they mature. Maryflower has an open-air growing area ensuring the plants grow to be hardy to the local climate.
At a plant nursery, the plants are typically grown in containers, such as pots or trays, carefully tended to ensure their healthy growth. The plants are watered, fertilized, and protected from pests and diseases as needed. A plan nursery will also prune to promote healthy growth and an attractive appearance.
What can I buy there?
Nurseries may also offer other products and services, such as compost, mulch, and fertilizers, as well as advice on plant care and gardening techniques. Some nurseries, like Maryflower, also offer landscaping and design services to help customers create a beautiful outdoor living space.
Plant Nursery versus a Plant Shop?
Most shops that exclusively sell plants are also referred to as nurseries even though they do not grow their own plant but merely sell them. Nurseries like Maryflower sell plants at retail value to the public or wholesale to the trades. Nursery staff often is knowledgeable about what plants work well in which garden. The Maryflower team is happy to advise on what would work in your situation.
Visiting a nursery is fun for kids and adults. However, some nurseries are so large they require a good pair of boots to see it all.
Maryflower plant nursery is an essential resource for gardeners, landscapers, and others who want to beautify their outdoor spaces. At Maryflower, customers can find various plants, advice, and other products and services to help them achieve their gardening goals.
