Default Cost of Garden Centres versus Nurseries

Am I out of touch or is this normal pricing?

Gill Hall


A nursery near us has become very popular by word of mouth - they have rows upon
rows of polytunnels filled with shrubs, summer bedding, hedging etc and these are
about half the price of same at garden centres. However, they do buy in some more
exotic plants from abroad and these seem to be priced similar to those at garden
centres.
I've noticed that as their popularity has increased to the general public their
prices are sliding up gradually though. However, if you want to get good value for
money but choose from a limited range of stock, then nurseries are well worth
visiting. They are almost worth it for the exercise walking around - some of them
are huge!
