We nipped out this afternoon as I wanted to buy some plants for a couple of outside containers.
Our usual place we go to at this time of the year has closed down so we went to Daisy Clough nurseries where we quite often go for lunch.
Lots of choice there so we were happy.
I bought two lavender Hipcote variety & some pink geraniums. A couple of smaller alpine type plants & a rather strange grasses plant called Red Rooster.
I had forgotten to take a photo for the day so dashed back to take a quick photo in the entrance.
Three good things:
1. Harry took both our full green bins to our friend who has a wood, she’s going to burn all the wood clippings & dried twigs etc ….we have only paid for one green bin so now we can start off with an empty bin in two weeks time.
2. Local new potatoes with butter.
3. Driving home the long way round….good to see what’s going on in the countryside!
A lovely interesting looking garden centre , but to be quite honest all the bigger ones these days look so much the same - but I love the fact that you have clothing and other sundries as well as plants in these places
Looks like a nice centre. We have to make a return trip to our local garden centre tomorrow, as our fresh new tomato plants have been decimated by our friendly mice ... something's going to have to change! Argh.
@jamibann Oh dear not frost but mice!! I want some outside tomatoes to put on our sunny decking but we haven’t seen any yet & it’s too early for outside ones I think.
A lovely well organised space. I visited our local garden centre recently and spent some church money on plants for the Jubilee garden. I'm always surprised when I see that some people have to pay for their green bin collection. We have free collection for ours
Yes this garden centre sells house stuff use cushions, rugs, etc plus clothes….White Stuff etc a restaurant & of course plants & all stuff gardening.
