In these economic times, those who have the best deals are the ones who survive, right? But, we also want the smaller businesses to be more successful, since they are the driving force behind America, and their personal care is always a great addition to the community.
When you're planning your garden or just landscaping around your house, here are a few things to consider before you head out to one of those big box retailers.

• When it comes to nurseries, wholesale nurseries are able to combine both price and quality.
  Since they are wholesalers they are able to offer discounted prices that are dramatically lower than their big box counterparts.
  They grow everything on site, so they are able to pass savings directly to the consumer.
  
• The meticulous care needed to maintain the quality of products as well as valuable personal relationships is still there.
  Everyone at the nursery must work diligently to care for the plants, and that means they care about the quality you receive.
  Nurseries across the board are as loyal to you as you are to them, if you keep coming back, they will remember what styles you like, what kind of garden or landscape you have at your house, and keep you updated on their ever-changing inventory.
  
• Wholesale nurseries often have a very large inventory of annuals, perennials, and shrubs.
  It is said that the cost of labor is as much as 80% of total profits in wholesale nurseries because of the care each plant requires for survival.
  
• An added benefit of buying through a wholesale nursery is the guarantee you receive.
  Nurseries work so hard to make sure that their plants survive when they leave the lot, so if they grow for the nursery, they will certainly grow for you!
• Finally, just because you are buying from a wholesaler, does not mean you have to buy in bulk.
  The nursery gets the discounts and they are able to pass them directly to you.
  You can reap the benefits just by purchasing a few plants.
  Wholesale nurseries do not equal bulk sales.
