What types of plants can I find in a nursery?

<div><p>Garden nurseries offer many plants to make your home and garden flourish. In-container plants are one option, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-perennial-flowers.htm">perennials</a>, annuals, and small shrubs or trees. Large hedge plants and roses are called bare-root plants, meaning they have not been potted. Finally, you will see some burlapped plants, typically larger trees and shrubs with burlap wrapping around the bottom.</p></div>

When is the best time to plant?

<div><p>The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.</p></div>

What are the main flower types?

<div><p>While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:</p><ul><li><p><b>Annuals</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. </p></li><li><p><b>Perennials</b>, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. </p></li><li><p><b>Biennials</b>, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.</p></li><li><p><b>Hybrids</b>, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location</p></li><li><p><b>Flowering shrubs</b>, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do I need to provide plants from a nursery for a landscaper?

<div><p>If you&rsquo;re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it&rsquo;s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.</p></div>

Vena's Nursery's crew was prompt, professional, and thorough in removing our back yard tree, including the stump and wood. Since there was limited area in our back yard, they could not use any heavy equipment. Still, the men worked hard and did an excellent job. They were amazing to watch. ...

The crew was quick and courteous (as were the people I dealt with at the nursery and in the office); when they were done, the mulching looked great--but even better, the place was left spotless. Not a bit of mulch anywhere it wasn't supposed to be. I would happily work with them again and give...

"I needed to have several large branches trimmed away from my roof. There were a few initial delays with communication, but the job turn around was extremely fast once we were able to connect. The workers took care not to damage anything and removed all of the trimmings once the job was done. I am very satisfied for the work done, especially at a very competitive price."
