Garden

Scattered around Tripoli you will find plant nurseries selling a wealth of fully grown lush greenhouse plants and outdoor plants.  Try to avoid small stores on Gargaresh and head out to Siraj and Janzour, where you will find plant farms selling more variety and cheaper, larger plants.

For terracotta pots, a visit to Gharyan will be in order where you will find a plethora of pots in a multitude of different sizes, textures and shapes and for very reasonable prices. Here you will find small pots for as little as 5 LYD and large pots 20 LYD.
