The weather in Dubai is very good for around eight months - beginning from the end of September and ending in May. During that period the city is blooming in various kinds of flowers. There is a large Municipality flower nursery near Garhoud Bridge where every size of plant is available according the season. The prices are lower than the private sector.
I love Petunia and every year from the beginning of October my home is blooming in different petunia’s colors. If you take good care – watering daily and fertilizing frequently the plants, your garden can look really nice until the end of June.
At the Municipality nursery the price per dozen is 6 AED, while just across the road at the private nurseries is 15 AED during the season and at the end is dropping down to 12 AED. I presume that the difference is due to the accessibility and the variety. The private nurseries offer wider spectrum of colors. You can match and mix the landscape of your garden in the color palettes it pleases you, while at the Municipality nursery usually only 2 or 3 colors are grown at the same time and you have to check for more again next month.
Wish you happy gardening!

Well, house keeping and shopping are common commitments, hopefully the group will grow. The flower pictures are from the Dubai flower nursery before Garhoud bridge. I toke them personally on the day when published.
housekeeping lol i wish .... due to other commitments abroad and lack of time another lady is running it at the moment.
yeah when i enlarged the photo realized it`s a dubai nursery.
If you don't want to go to the flower nurseries, the Garden Centre on Sheikh Zayed Road is an option too. It's slightly more expensive, but the atmosphere is different. Flowers are the same.
Yes indeed, we got our petunias from there and payd 1.50 dhs per piece.
