garden centre

Outdoor retail nursery

A garden centre is a retail establishment selling plants, seeds, gardening tools, and outdoor supplies.

Larger than a traditional nursery, garden centres typically stock pots, soil, fertilizers, outdoor furniture, and seasonal decorations alongside live plants.

The term is primarily British; Americans usually say garden center or nursery.

We picked up some tomato plants at the garden centre.
