A nursery is a place where young plants, trees, or flowers are grown and cared for until they are ready to be sold or transplanted. Nurseries provide the right environment for plants to thrive, including proper soil, water, and sunlight. They often specialize in specific types of plants, such as ornamental plants, vegetables, or fruit trees. In addition to plants, nurseries can also refer to facilities that care for young children, often called childcare centers or preschools. These nurseries provide a safe environment for children to learn and play while their parents are at work. They focus on early childhood development through various activities and social interactions.
