Finding Cheaper Plants in Connecticut

Phone-Shop for Best Prices

Call nurseries with a specific plant and size in mind (e.g., 4-ft dwarf peach in 5-gal pot).
Compare same-size containers—don't match gallon to 5-gallon.

Fall clearance sales offer 50–75% off spring prices. Buy perennials, trees, and shrubs in autumn for best deals.
