==Nurseries== There are a number of different types of nurseries, broadly grouped as wholesale or retail nurseries, with some overlap depending on the specific operation. Wholesale nurseries produce plants in large quantities which are sold to retail nurseries<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kumar |first=Rohit |date=31 January 2024|title=Nursery|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/nursery |access-date=January 31, 2024 |website=britannica}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Maiti |first1=Ratikanta |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2LkyDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA5 |title=APPLIED BOTANY |last2=Rodríguez |first2=Humberto González |last3=Thakur |first3=Ashok Kumar |last4=Sarkar |first4=Narayan Chandra |date=2017-08-14 |publisher=American Academic Press |isbn=978-1-63181-866-0 |language=en}}</ref> Wholesale nurseries may be small operations that produce a specific type of plant using a small area of land, or very larger operations covering many acres. They propagate plant material or buy plants from other nurseries which may include rooted or unrooted cuttings, or small rooted plants called plugs, or field ~grown bare root plants, which are planted and grown to a desired size. Some wholesale nurseries produce plants on contract for others which place an order for a specific number and size of plant, while others produce a wide range of plants that are offered for sale to other nurseries and landscapers and sold as first come first served. Retail nurseries sell plants ready to be placed in the landscape or used in homes and businesses.
