Shopping for Plants in the Metro
Some of you may know this already, but there exists a shopping haven for plant enthusiasts right here in Quezon City.
About a kilometer long of roadside in Katipunan is occupied by a teeming plant business community which caters to landscapers and even regular house owners. Their exact location or address (as I’ve noticed in a receipt one of the shops gave me) is Katipunan Road, White Plains, Quezon City. To get there from the Ateneo Area, go straight ahead and pass the traffic lights at Santolan. From EDSA, turn right to White Plains and upon reaching the stop light, go left. Here’s an eye teaser for those who are interested.
Available plants are: white angels, durantes, san franciscos, eugenias, santans, some chinese plants, water lilies and many more.
The best thing about this road setup is that the plant supplies are abundant and varied. In the world of Economics, this competition with other sellers tends to bring the price of the commodities down, something favorable for us buyers. One secret I would like to share : you can practically haggle your way to half the original selling price of the neighboring shop, provided you buy a reasonable number of plants!
Happy plant shopping!
