3 You sow seeds in the garden and you'll be staring at a bed of soil for a while. Put starter plants in there and voila! It looks like you've actually planted something. Seeing all that green out there from the get-go can be very inspiring. Planting seeds in the garden may require patience as you wait for them to grow. However, starting with starter plants can provide instant greenery and a sense of accomplishment.

These plants are nurtured with optimal care in greenhouse conditions, ensuring well-developed roots and robust growth.
