Does anyone have a discount code for crocus.co.uk that they wouldn’t mind sharing?

    All GW subscribers get a list of 10% discounts to major garden online retailers.

    I can't say I recommend Crocus personally
    Code: GWS22

    Have you had a bad experience with them?

    They are a big box company - expensive, huge market saturation, not great customer service. I personally would go with small, independent nurseries.

    I’ve used them a lot and always been happy- I just want to get a second compost bin to go with the first one I got and theirs was the best price I’d found :)

    thank you @Fire

    Crocus is a retailer, not a nursery/grower @TheGreenMan , and is therefore usually far more expensive than many outlets, especially for plants.  :)

    I’d never thought about separating the two. I’ve noticed Crocus seems to be the same thing when looking at Waitrose and RHS? The websites are almost identical

    I don't know about that @TheGreenMan, but I'm always shocked when I see the prices of the plants!
    Waitrose isn't a common outlet up here, but there's a smallish one a few miles away, which opened maybe ten years ago, and I've seen plants sitting outside. I've no inclination to go in though, for any reason.

    Crocus are very good if you want something specific - they will get it for you...  The RHS and Waitrose, amongst other supermarkets, use them to supply their plants.. offers vary accordingly..

    I agree with @Marlorena they are good if you’re after a specific plant, and they regularly discount their plants which is when I tended to buy! They’re more expensive now than they were when I was doing my old garden. But the compost bin is cheap 😆

    It is a myth that Crocus do not grow plants, I have been on an on line tour of their Nursery.
