Good experience in the area of shrubs and small trees as well as perennials. But I am also 15 minutes away in Venlo and the surrounding area – there are many stores to choose from.

Can you give a rough estimate of how high the savings effect is? Maybe you can report more precisely from your experience what you compared, etc. I have roughly 35 sqm of green space in my driveway to be planted with plants, at least 1 tree and many shrubs (pampas grass, for example). I think that adds up to quite a bit. In the garden, I also need quite a bit for a larger bed on one green side. My neighbor ordered his plants through his boss in Holland, the material is coming next week, he was very enthusiastic about the savings effect.

Savings effects range between 0 and 75%. It always depends on what and when you buy. At the end of the season, you get the "remainders" thrown at you. High-quality stores like Leurs in Venlo offer almost no advantage. You have to find a proper garden center that sells on basically covered open-air areas. So Aldi-like in simple form. Our neighbors had a Thuja hedge brought in (estimated 60 plants at 120-150cm each). Including delivery about 25% savings. Amber tree about 4m tall for €199 + delivery. I can't tell you the rest anymore. We had about 500 sqm of land to supply with beds, etc. For 35 sqm of green area, I wouldn't stress about it, unless you live right on the border. Then just drive over. Delivery is pointless anyway – so fill up the trunk.

30-40% is possible. Much can also be done online and at least cross-border by delivery.

ok
That's already a starting point.
I need many hardy perennials... like ornamental grasses, basically. And a tree, although I first have to look around to see what I like. It shouldn't be deciduous. The prices for bonsai and co are sometimes quite shocking.
I took a look at Baldur today, and it's not as bad as I thought.
