Businesses in the flowers and plants category sell cut flowers, bouquets, indoor plants and outdoor plants for homes, gardens, workplaces and events. They may also stock seasonal flowers, bulbs, seeds, shrubs, small trees, compost, plant food, pots, vases and other basic gardening supplies. Some businesses grow plants or flowers themselves, while others source them from growers and wholesalers. Services can include arranging flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, funerals and corporate events, as well as advising customers on plant choice and care. Florists may prepare hand-tied bouquets, displays and wreaths, while garden centres and nurseries tend to offer a broader range of plants and growing materials. Some businesses provide local delivery, planting services or maintenance for indoor and outdoor displays. Availability often varies with the season and the needs of particular plants.
