The short answer
What should a garden centre website include?
A garden centre website should show which plants are in stock this week, help a shopper choose by sun, soil and hardiness zone, and make it easy to reserve, order for pickup or book a workshop. It should state the plant guarantee plainly and keep restricted invasive plants and licence-only pesticides out of the online catalogue.

What every garden centre website includes
Availability that matches the benches
Plant stock comes from your point-of-sale export or a weekly upload, so the site shows what is really in the yard and hides what has sold out. Shoppers stop driving out for a shrub that went on Saturday.
A plant finder by spot, not by name
Most shoppers know their yard, not the Latin name, so the finder asks about light, soil, space and hardiness zone and returns plants you have in stock. Each result carries its care notes and a reserve button.
Reserve now, pay at pickup
Holding a plant for a day or a week is often all a customer wants, and it brings them through the gate where they buy more. Reservations print as a pull list for the yard team each morning.
A catalogue that knows what it cannot sell
Plants on your province’s or state’s restricted invasive list are blocked from the catalogue, and licence-only pesticides are shown as ask in store rather than added to a cart. Delivery and shipping options follow the plant-health rules for your area.
Workshops that fill themselves
Container planting, pruning and wreath classes sold by seat with a capacity, a waiting list and a reminder the day before. Past attendees hear about the next class first.
Season pages that rank
Spring planting, fall bulbs, Christmas trees and native swaps each get a page timed to when people search for them. They are the pages that bring new gardeners to your site every year.
The guarantee in plain words
What your plant guarantee covers, for how long, with what receipt and what it excludes, on one page and linked from every product. Fewer disputes at the counter and more confidence at checkout.
Compliance
The rules for garden centres and nurseries, handled in the design
Selling plants online runs into rules a shop counter rarely meets: invasive plant bans, pesticide licensing and quarantines on where plants may travel. These are the ones we design around in Canada, the US and the UK, each linked to the body that sets it.
Sources gathered October 1, 2026. This is how our designs handle these rules, not legal advice: rules change and differ by province and state, so your provincial or state agriculture or environment ministry, the plant health authority, or your lawyer has the final word, and you approve every page before it goes live.
- Ontario
Restricted invasive plants may not be sold
Under the Invasive Species Act, 2015 and O. Reg. 354/16, restricted species such as Japanese knotweed and dog-strangling vine may not be bought, sold, leased or traded in Ontario. The catalogue blocks any plant on the provincial list, and native pages suggest an alternative.
Ontario e-Laws — O. Reg. 354/16 under the Invasive Species Act, 2015
- Ontario
Cosmetic pesticides and licensed vendors
Ontario bans most cosmetic pesticide use on lawns and gardens, and since the 2020 amendments to O. Reg. 63/09 a vendor without a licence can no longer sell most pesticides. Pesticide pages describe products and permitted uses, and nothing restricted goes into an online cart.
- Canada
Plants with soil leaving a Japanese beetle area
The CFIA’s directive D-96-15 requires a movement certificate before plants with soil or growing media leave a Japanese beetle regulated area. Shipping and delivery zones are set to your area, and anything going further is quoted only after your certificate is confirmed.
CFIA — D-96-15: Phytosanitary requirements to prevent the spread of Japanese beetle
- US
Quarantines on shipping citrus and other nursery stock
USDA APHIS domestic quarantines, such as those for citrus greening and the Asian citrus psyllid, restrict moving regulated nursery stock out of quarantined areas without a compliance agreement and certificate. Online orders check the destination and refuse what may not be sent there.
eCFR — 7 CFR Part 301, Subpart N: Citrus greening and Asian citrus psyllid
- US · New York
Prohibited invasive plants off the shelves
New York’s Part 575 lists prohibited invasive species that may not be sold, imported, transported or propagated, including Japanese barberry apart from named exempt cultivars. A New York catalogue is checked against the list, and exempt cultivars carry their exact name.
- UK
Plant passports for online sales
Plants for planting sold to the final user by distance contract, including online, need a UK plant passport, so an online seller must be authorised to issue them. Product pages and dispatch notes are designed with room for the passport details.

Invasive alien species banned from sale
The Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019 enforces a list of species that may not be kept, sold or exchanged, including aquatic plants once common in pond ranges, such as water primrose and parrot’s feather. Pond and aquatic categories leave them out.

Questions
Garden centres and nurseries: common questions
- How much does a garden centre website cost?
- A garden centre website of up to 25 pages is $1,500 paid upfront, or $150 a month for 12 months, and it is yours after the 12th payment. A larger site of up to about 100 pages is $4,000, or $400 a month. Hosting and care is $29 or $49 a month. Prices are in US dollars.
- Can the website show which plants we have in stock?
- Yes. Stock comes in from your point-of-sale export or a simple weekly spreadsheet, and each plant shows its size, hardiness zone and whether it is available, low or sold out. Where your system offers an API, a direct connection is scoped with an advisor and quoted, so it updates without an upload.
- Can we sell plants and pesticides online?
- Plants, usually yes, within the rules on restricted invasive species and on shipping out of quarantine areas, which the catalogue and delivery zones are set up to follow. Pesticides are different: in Ontario most may only be sold by a licensed vendor, so we show them as information and ask in store rather than adding them to a cart.Your ministry or plant health authority has the final word on what applies to your products and area.
- Can customers reserve plants instead of paying online?
- Yes, and many garden centres prefer it. A shopper holds a plant for the days you choose and pays when they collect, which brings them through the gate where they often buy more. Reservations print as a morning pull list, and anything not collected is released back to stock automatically.
- Will the plant finder only suggest plants we have?
- Yes. The finder asks about light, soil, space and hardiness zone, then searches your current stock, not a general plant database, so every suggestion is something a shopper can buy this week. When nothing in stock suits, it offers a request form so your staff can suggest what is arriving next.
- Should a garden centre have its own app?
- Once you run a garden club or loyalty scheme, often yes. A garden app turns each receipt into a plant list with care reminders for the customer’s zone, lets them send a photo question to your staff and reserve new arrivals. A smaller centre gets most of that from the website and email, and the app is quoted separately.
- Will my garden centre website rank on Google?
- It launches with the technical SEO done: fast pages, clean structure, structured data, local pages and redirects from your old site. To keep climbing, a BOOSTD SEO plan from $149 a month runs 262 checks on your site every week, fixes what is safe to fix and gets the rest ready for your OK.No one can promise a position on Google, and we never do. Google warns businesses about anyone who does.
- How long does a garden centre website take to build?
- About 4 weeks for a local site and about 8 weeks for a larger one, counted from the day we have your content, logo, photos and licence details. A larger site is planned with an advisor first, so its timeline is confirmed in writing before any work starts.Book the work in winter if you can, so the site, the stock feed and the plant finder are live before the spring rush.
- Can I get one of these garden centre website designs?
- Yes. Each is a complete, ready-to-launch website design BOOSTD made for garden centres and nurseries. Pick one and we make it yours, with your name, colours, photos, content and the licence or compliance details your industry expects, from $150 a month and yours after 12 payments.Approved client sites are shown with a “Client work” tag, and only with the client’s written permission.
