Plant prices online

[AyG]

Is there any website here that gives the prices of garden plants online? I've been given a quote for a new garden and wanted to check the reasonableness of the prices. Being quite a way from any large plant nursery, checking prices online would be a boon.

Thanks.

I doubt it.

I am a "plant nut" , Arborist, Horticulturist and old nurseryman from California.

I spend a lot of time just checking out nurseries and find prices vary a great deal form nursery to nursery.

I also find that most nurseries are willing to barter..they start high and adjust the price when you ask.

I recently purchased a huge orchid for one third of the price they were asking when it was in bloom.

Two weeks later, it has three spikes getting teady to flower again! ( see photos)

I don't think there is any 'price standard" in Thailand, so finding prices online is unlikely.

Flowering Orchid 1500 baht

The exact same plant purchased without flowers 500 baht
