Yeah. Also I explained it in another comment, but in my country there's usually two types of places where you can get flowers. Large flower or hardware stores for one, but then the rest are tiny oases of beauty where the owner is also the person selling you the flowers, and have their own handcrafted items for decoration and/or sale, like vases, baskets, etc.
That's like the farthest thing from a hardware store, even if hardware stores do indeed also sell flowers. But I guess there are places in the world where beautiful small family businesses don't exist so all you get is Walmart and Ace Hardware and then you think all businesses are giant faceless corporations.
Yeah, we have those in the US too. Not sure why that other commenter seems to think Ace Hardware is the smallest business that sells plants, there are plenty of small nurseries in every state.
Maybe they just live in a really bleak and lifeless small town or something and don't really explore to find the cool places.
Or a large city... I think you're actually more likely to find these stores in rural areas.
With mixed usage zoning, large cities can be really great for these actually.
I'm not saying that they wouldn't be allowed in cities, just that in my experience they're more likely to be found in rural areas. When I look at nurseries in and around the closest major city, most are in the outskirts of the city where land is a lot cheaper, rather than the built-up urban areas.
