A plant nursery with multiple raised beds containing small potted plants, each labeled with white tags. The beds are covered with black hoop structures, and there are informational signs clipped to pipes above them displaying plant details and pricing. The ground is covered with small gravel. Several people are browsing and selecting plants. In the foreground, a woman wearing a maroon jacket and khaki pants is crouching while holding a box of potted plants in one arm and reaching for another plant with her free hand. Another woman in a navy blue jacket and jeans stands behind her, looking at a plant label. More people are visible in the background near a wooded area and a pond. Parked cars are visible further back.
