Whether you want to put your green fingers to the test with bedding plants, get your balcony prepped for spring or add some life to your indoor space, there’s never been a better time to buy plants for your home and garden.

While a visit to your local nursery is always encouraged, if you’re on the hunt for a wider selection or simply don’t want to have to wrestle an unruly shrub into the back seat of your car, the good news is that it’s now super convenient to shop for plants online.

That’s right, the magic of home delivery now extends to greenery, which can be sent through the mail and will arrive on your doorstep within a matter of days.

But the convenience doesn’t stop there. Some retailers now also give shoppers detailed instructions on how to care for their plants after purchase, so even if you’re just starting to dip your toes into the gardening waters, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll be able to nurture a healthy plant. Plus, many give you the option of filtering depending on your budget, space and which plants are safe to have around curious pets and toddlers.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve rounded up our picks of the nurseries and centres to buy from online, from garden fruit specialists to award-winning, family-run businesses.
