Gardening Laidback Gardener Tip of the Day

For the Best Plants, Shop Thursday or Friday

When you shop just as plants are being put on display, you’ll have the best choice.

Nurseries and garden centers like to look their best on weekends and therefore generally have new plant shipments delivered on Thursdays and Fridays. So if you want to have the first pick of plants or grab yours while they’re fresh from the supplier, before they’ll have had time to suffer from any inattention, Thursdays and Fridays – or very early Saturday morning – are the best days to go plant shopping!

Garden writer and blogger, author of 65 gardening books, lecturer and communicator, the Laidback Gardener, Larry Hodgson, passed away in October 2022. Known for his great generosity, his thoroughness and his sense of humor, he reached several generations of amateur and professional gardeners over his 40-year career. Thanks to his son, Mathieu Hodgson, and a team of contributors, laidbackgardener.blog will continue its mission of demystifying gardening and making it more accessible to all.
