“Greener than Montseny”, “The paradise of gardening enthusiasts”, “45 Camp Nous dedicated to plants”. We can think of many ways to write what we discovered today. At a time when terraces have become personal oases, and the love of plants has gone from hipster fad to emotional necessity, finding a nursery that has it all is like finding a good, nice and cheap restaurant downtown: it exists, but few know about it.
Viveros de Cardedeu, less than half an hour from Barcelona, is not just a nursery. It is an institution with more than 50 years of history, where you can buy a five-meter palm tree or get advice on which conifer will survive on your north-facing terrace.
The history of Cardedeu Nurseries
This Catalan nursery founded in 1972 is the largest in Barcelona and its numbers are dizzying. It has 60,000 m² of potted plants ready to take away, to which must be added 450,000 m² (45 hectares) dedicated to its own cultivation.
Here they sell to both professionals and individuals, so you can surely take that plant you have saved in your Pinterest gallery that you saw in such and such a place, or copy your neighbor’s tree.
What you can buy at Cardedeu Nurseries
They have it all: fruit and ornamental trees, decorative and hedge shrubs; conifers, climbers, seasonal plants and resistant species, palm trees for a tropical corner without leaving Vallès… In addition, they have gardening materials, decoration and tools, expert advice service and immediate delivery with different types of transport. The only thing they do not do is water your plants at home.
Few companies in the sector can boast of having been cultivating a space like this for more than 50 years. It is authorized by the Generalitat de Catalunya and officially registered as a producer and importer of plants.
