plant nursery
Where flora starts
A plant nursery is a place where plants are grown for sale or transplanting.
Nurseries propagate seedlings, saplings, and ornamental plants, selling to gardeners, landscapers, and garden centers.
The term parallels its use for infant care—both involve nurturing young, vulnerable life through early development: We picked up tomato starts at the nursery.
