Gardening, where to buy trees, bushes, flowers?

Post by Pfeak1 » Thu May 15, 2025 6:52 pm

Hi, i am new and i would like to know where Finnish people buy there plants. I mean originals, some old trees and bushes. Not that invasive stuff that they have at hankija or tokmanni. Are there any "baumschule" besides those garden centers that just have few plants. I think most finnish gardens have thuja :? ,some invasive roses and lilacs.
I would like to plant some old resident plants, i checked laji.fi to check the status of the plants i want to plant.
Furthermore ordering from outside finland makes no sense in my point of view.
Happy for all answers. :) thank you.

Visite les arboretums et jardins botaniques (Mustila, Arboretum Mustila, Arboretum de Jyväskylä etc.) pour repérer ce que tu aimes, demander où ils se procurent ou s’ils ont des surplus. Sur laji.fi comme tu dis, c’est une bonne idée pour vérifier statut / rareté / espèces protégées. Assure-toi que la plante est locale ou adaptée au climat.

First time on here in a long time.

An old thread but incase anyone wanders across it, the magic word is puutarhakeskus- literally garden centre. They exist, though as the gardening season is shorter than countries at lower latitudes IMHO Finns tend to put less effort and spend less cash on their garden plants than other countries.
