@grammargirl UK: nursery = grown/living plants, flower shop (or perhaps florist) for cut plants. “Garden centre” is more common for living plants.
“Hardware store” is very American, and here would be a DIY shop/warehouse for tools, building materials, etc. Generally, “store” on its own is very US. DIY shops invariably have garden centres within/attached.
@mattgemmell@grammargirl I (British) would use "hardware store" but only to refer to a small local shop that sells screws, tools, etc, not to refer to a big-box DIY shop.
