Top 3 Tips for Visiting a Plant Nursery

2–3 minutes

For some folks, a trip to the nursery to choose plants is fun and exciting. For others, it’s pure puzzlement and confusion. Crazy Critters is a traditional small plant nursery. You will find a different variety of plants every time you visit.

We try to keep it interesting by carrying the more unusual or specialist species of plants. Plants are our passion. We invite you to see for yourself the high standards we uphold. We grow plants that are of the highest quality. With insane and crazy species to choose from.


TIPS for when you visit any plant nursery?

Tip #1: Shop during the week. If you want to spend time shopping, Saturday and Sunday are not the best days. Thursday is usually a good day. Shopping before the weekend rush will help you make the best choice.

Tip #2: Take your time. Make the first pass. Wander through first and look at everything, getting a general idea of what’s available and what you want.

Then you select your plants. As you’re looking around, notice where plants are placed. Plants that are in full sun throughout the day need the same environment in your home landscape. Some species are shade-tolerant, but in general, need full sun or artificial light.

Tip #3: Inspect plant roots. Don’t be afraid to take a plant out of its pot. You don’t want to purchase a root-bound plant. If a plant has a thick mass of roots, use a knife to cut through them. This will help loosen them before you plant it. Give it extra water until it gets well established.

Remember, plants are an investment in your landscape. Take your time, use all the available information, and enjoy yourself when plant shopping.

You have a huge variety to choose from. It includes thriving Succulents, cacti, and other species of foliage. Everything we carry comes from local expert growers. We make certain the plants are well adapted to this climate. This adaptation guarantees they will thrive and flourish in your garden successfully.

Please note that some specialist varieties are grown in small quantities. If you are making a special journey, we advise that you check availability before traveling.  We look forward to welcoming you soon.
