San Antonio nurseries face shortages of plants, shrubs, fertilizer in spring 2022 thanks to Winter Storm Uri, supply chain woes, and that means higher prices
Shortages of the basic chemicals used to make fertilizer, fungicides, weed killers and more mean these products may be in short supply. And when they are available, prices will be higher.For the second year in a row, home gardeners may not be able to find some of their favorite springtime plants and products at local nurseries. And what they do find will likely cost more.
Bottom line: it’s going to take more than just a green thumb to spruce up your yard this spring. You’ll need persistence, patience and likely more money. At least this year’s freezes didn’t have a big impact on San Antonio gardens, according to Daniel Keith, general manager of Rainbow Gardens Nursery on Bandera Road. So while he expects brisk sales now that the weather is warming, he doesn’t think it will match last year’s frenzy to replace all the landscaping lost to Uri.
Ultimately, you may have to be more flexible when shopping. That might mean growing smaller Roma or cherry tomatoes instead of big beefsteaks, planting petunias instead of pentas or making do with fewer varieties of basics like basil than in the past. If you see something you can make work, buy it, because there’s no guarantee it’ll be there when you come back.
