Extra perks of the local garden center!
Another perk of choosing to buy from a local store, besides what we mentioned and the fact that you are going to be supporting local businesses, is that you can benefit from their knowledge and get some help when it comes to choosing your plants! You may already know what you might want for your decorating process, but if you ask one of the people working there for more tips and tricks, both about how to care for your new green friends and also about the types of plants that would be best for your environment.
Do not fret! People working at local garden centers love talking about plants, and they will be happy to share their knowledge with you if they have the time to do so. So always ask before you commit to buying a plant, even if it completes your decorating plan!
