Independent garden nursery
If you’re looking for an olive tree and don’t know where to start, then take a look at an independent garden nursery. They stock an amazing variety of plants and even more impressive knowledge to back up your purchase. These nurseries are often smaller and locally owned, focusing on providing a personalised service and a unique variety of plants. Here are just a few reasons why you should choose an independent garden nursery for your olive tree.
Expertise and Knowledge
Independent garden nurseries offer a level of experience and expertise only an experienced horticulturist can provide. They know things about plants most commercial outlets could only dream of. It’s this level of experience that sets them apart from larger chains that provide substandard plants and trees. They can offer guidance on specific varieties that suits your climate and space, as well as provide aftercare instructions to ensure your plant thrives. My personal favourites are Norfolk Herbs, for the most comprehensive range of herbs ever! John Cullen gardens where the focus is on plants for pollinators and Hedgehog nursery for shade loving perennials.
It goes without saying that with independent nurseries, you’re more likely to receive personalised attention. Nursery owners can answer your questions, discuss your garden’s specific requirements, and help you make informed decisions. This one-on-one interaction can be a valuable resource for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Environmentally friendly
Independent garden nurseries are generally more conscious of sustainability and the environment. They often grow and source their plants using more eco-friendly methods and ensure they have DEFRA-approved plants. So, by choosing an independent nursery, you align purchases with a commitment to responsible gardening.
High quality
Often, independent nurseries are more committed to the quality of their plants than large commercial garden centres. With smaller garden nurseries you know you are getting a high-quality plant that can be traced back to its origin. This results in happier healthier plants that can thrive in any type of UK garden.
