    My favourite garden centre is the one that recently gave £300's worth of plants to the Friends of Queens Park!

    Some good sites for me to look at here and always good to know when you're travelling around what's about

    Boy does Blue Diamond, Dobbies and Wyevale know how to charghe for plants.

    Prices seem to have rocketed since last season!

    Bee I agree.
    Larch Cottage is amazing!
    South of Penrith in the middle of no where.
    Near the main road  between Shap and Penrith...easily missed if you do not know about it.

    Here in Bath we have Hilliers, Homebase and an independent nursery, Prior Park GC within a 3 mile radius of me so I'll often do a round-robin to check out their prices if I want something expensive. We don't have an Aldi, big Tesco or Wilko. My favourite independent nursery is Rocky Mountain near Wells (with café) about 25 miles away so usually go there with a friend for a day out occasionally.
