When to buy new plants?

This is always a tricky question, because when can you be sure it won’t freeze anymore? It’s such a shame if your newly purchased summer plants catch another night frost. Often this is the end of the plant. At a good garden center you can therefore get advice. They can tell you which plants you can buy now and which you can better leave for a while. You can also visit a garden center for the care of garden and indoor plants. And would you like to start a vegetable garden? They can also advise you on this. And we also have gardening tips for you!
