A plant nursery is a place where plants are
propagated and grown to usable size.
There are retail nurseries which sell to the general public, wholesale nurseries
such as the ones on this page which sell only to other nurseries and to commercial
landscape gardeners, and private nurseries which supply the needs of
institutions or private estates. Some retail and wholesale nurseries sell
by mail.
Nurseries grow annuals, perennials, and woody plants (trees and shrubs).
These have a variety of uses: decorative plants for flower gardening and
landscaping, garden vegetable plants, and agricultural plants.
Nurseries often grow plants in a greenhouse, a building of glass or in
plastic tunnels, designed to protect young plants from harsh weather
(especially frost), while allowing access to light and ventilation. Modern
greenhouses allow automated control of temperature, ventilation and light
and semi-automated watering and feeding. Some also have fold-back roofs to
allow "hardening-off" of plants without the need for manual transfer to
outdoor beds.
Some nurseries specialize in one phase of the process: propagation,
growing out, or retail sale; or in one type of plant: groundcovers, shade
plants, fruit trees, or rock garden plants.

Nurseries remain highly labour-intensive. Although some processes have
been mechanized and automated, others have not. It remains highly unlikely
that all plants treated in the same way at the same time will arrive at
the same condition together, so plant care requires observation, judgment
and manual dexterity; selection for sale requires comparison and judgment.
Annuals are sold in trays (undivided containers with multiple plants),
flats (trays with built-in cells), peat pots, or plastic pots.
Perennials and woody plants are sold either in pots, bare-root or
balled and burlaped and in a variety of sizes, from liners to mature
trees.
Plants may be propagated by seeds, but often desirable cultivars are
propagated asexually by budding, grafting, layering, or other nursery
techniques. |
