If you want to buy an adult plant or seedlings, it is worth visiting a garden center or nursery.

If you are new to gardening, having to visit such an "establishment" can be a source of awkward confusion.

To avoid becoming a hostage to such a situation, use this short cheat sheet.

First of all, grab your cart and unfold your list – without a short list of the items you need to buy, you risk buying a lot of unnecessary things, or forgetting about important ones.

You can save on plants if they are supplied in trays with several cell packs - just find yourself a companion and split the purchase price in half.

Alternatively, visit the center’s website or social media account – they often tell about ongoing promotions and sales.

Another great way to reduce your spending is to use the points accumulated on your bonus card. It is likely that large stores offer cashback.

By the way, it is possible that the center provides free services of a landscape designer or other specialists.
