A nursery is a place where plants are propagated and grown to a desired age. They include retail nurseries that sell to the general public, wholesale nurseries which sell only to businesses such as other nurseries and commercial gardeners, and private nurseries that supply the needs of institutions or private estates. Nurseries may supply plants for gardens, agriculture, forestry, and conservation biology. Some of them specialize in one phase of the process are propagation, growing out, or retail sale; or in one type of plant. Some produce bulk stock, whether seedlings or grafted, of particular varieties for purposes such as fruit trees for orchards, or timber trees for forestry. Some produce stock seasonally, ready in springtime for export to colder regions where propagation could not have been started so early, or to regions where seasonal pests prevent profitable growing early in the season.

Nurseries grow plants in open fields, on container fields, in tunnels or greenhouses. In open fields, nurseries grow decorative trees, shrubs and herbaceous perennials. On a container field nurseries grow small trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants, usually destined for sales in garden centres. These have proper ventilation, sunlight etc. Plants may be grown by seed(s). The most common method is by cutting plant (s) cuttings. These can be taken from shoot tips or roots etc. By these methods plants are grown in nurseries and gardens.
