It’s Spring in Uruguay… Time to Plant a Garden!

October 23, 2009 by Brian



Ciudad jardin
 
We typically have a garden of some sort every year, even if it’s just a few tomato and jalapeño plants. Now that Spring is here, I’m getting that urge to plant a garden.

But, we’re living in a Montevideo apartment, so that doesn’t leave us much room for a garden. Our front balcony has three small planters on it so we decided to plant a basil plant, rosemary plant and cilantro plant in them.

We’ve seen a couple nurseries around Montevideo, but we came across one the other day that we really liked, Ciudad Jardin. They have a great selection and their prices are reasonable. The basil, rosemary and cilantro plants ranged from UY$15-25  (U$S 0.74-1.23) each. Large bags of soil (tierra) are only UY$50 (U$S 2.46) each.

They even deliver to your home! If you want to have a small garden, or just need a couple house plants, check out Ciudad Jardin.

Ciudad Jardin is located at Av. Brasil 2528 esq. Brito del Pino. Telephone: 708-0504.
