Buying plants
Where to shop
Garden centres are the department stores of the gardening world, stocking everything from plants to outdoor furniture.
Nurseries are often run by plant enthusiasts who specialise in a particular group of plants. They can be a great place to get specialist advice.
Mail order and online is an increasingly easy way to buy plants and they are delivered straight to your home. However, remember you cannot check the condition of the plants before you buy them.
