With cooler temperatures just around the corner (I promise!), thoughts of long afternoons sipping lemonade in the garden dance in our heads – in a well manicured garden, that is. Here’s the low-down on where to get plants, trees, and everything you need to get your garden, balcony or home geared up for winter.

Dubai Garden Centre

Dubai Garden Centre
Dubai Garden Centre is the mainstay of Dubai’s gardening scene. They carry both indoor and outdoor plants, a variety of pots, gardening and barbeque equipment, not to mention an in-house upholsterer, pet fish galore, and Dubai’s best frittata served up with a smile at the quaint Roseleaf Café.

How to get there: Located just north of the Mall of the Emirates on Sheikh Zayad Road.

Satwa Plant Shops

Satwa Plant Shops
Take a stroll off of the beaten path and discover a taste of Old Dubai. Clustered along Al Hudaiba Road near the Iranian Hospital, the Satwa Plant Shops offer a variety of both indoor and outdoor plants at a fraction of what you’d pay at the bigger, mainstream shops. Looking to further brighten your home? There’s plenty of bird shops along the way if you fancy bringing home a new friend.

How to get there: From the Iranian Hospital, head east on Al Hudaiba Road. You will see the plant shops on your right.

Dubai Plant Souq (Warsan Plant Nurseries near Dragon Mart)
It’s a bit of a trek, but you won’t be disappointed by the Plant Souq, Dubai’s largest group of plant shops. The Souk offers plenty of variety – from olive trees to cactus to enormous painted vases and water features—and prices are just about as low as they go. Most places offer free delivery and are open to bargaining.

How to get there: Take the E44 (Al Awir Road) towards Hatta. Drive past Dragon Mart and at the next roundabout, turn right onto Academic City Road. Turn left at the next roundabout. Drive past the Municipal Plant Nurseries on your left. After the next roundabout, you will see the first of many nurseries.
