By Paul Power 1. Know what youre buying! When it comes to gardening, impulse purchasing can be fatal, both for your wallet and whatever it is youre about to buy. For a plant to grow successfully it must be planted in the right growing conditions. For example, shade-loving plants arent going to be flourish if planted in an area where theyre going to get full sunshine. Similarly sun-lovers arent going to like being placed underneath your evergreen hedge. So before deciding what to buy, make sure you know what it is that youre about to purchase first in terms of the plants needs and then in terms of your own. Get this right and chances are youre shrubs and plants will flourish and youll avoid wasting money on plants that arent going to do anything. Whatever you do dont rely solely on the information printed on the sales labels. Do your own research before going to the garden centre or nursery. 2. Pick the place before you choose the plant Common mistake is to choose the plant or shrub and then return home and try and figure a way of incorporating it into your garden. Far better to survey your garden before going to buy anything; deciding where needs enhancing and then working out what sort of micro-climate exists in whatever space it is you want to fill. Then choose a plant or shrub that would be happy growing there and then off you go to buy it. 3. Be careful of poor garden centre husbandry Always buy your shrubs and plants from quality garden centres where its evident that the staff are knowledgeable and actually care for their stock as opposed to simply over-watering them. Avoid like the plague the multi-retailers who simply tack a garden centre onto their warehouse sales centre because it complements there other lines. Shrubs and plants arent simply products on a shelf. To grow and prosper they need the right care and attention. Independent nurseries generally employ trained staff to look after their stock and many grow their own lines. When it comes to gardening theres no such thing as cheap and cheerful. Half-price, usually means half dead! Paul Power is the author of Staring Your Own Gardening Business.
