What is a nursery?

Nurseries are specialized facilities where young plants, trees, or shrubs are grown and nurtured until they are strong enough to be planted in gardens, parks, or landscaping projects. They can also refer to places that provide care and supervision for young children, typically from infancy to preschool age. In the context of horticulture, plant nurseries propagate, cultivate, and sell a wide variety of plants, including ornamental, fruit, and vegetable species. These businesses play a crucial role in agriculture, landscaping, and environmental conservation by providing healthy plants and expert advice to gardeners and landscapers.
