Outstanding Wholesale Nurseries in San Diego
A wholesale nursery grows and sells plants, flowers, trees and shrubs to retail nurseries, private landscape companies, and larger commercial landscapers to sell to their customers.
San Diego’s wholesale nurseries are growers who cultivate their plants on site or nearby growing fields that they own. This way, they’re in control of the health and quality of the plants and trees they sell.
The main advantage to using a wholesale nursery as a landscaping company or nursery owner is the ability to place large or custom orders while avoiding retail prices.
There are many quality wholesale nurseries in San Diego to choose from. Everything from specialized palm tree growers, large tree providers, and indoor wholesale plants as well.
