@TheGreenMan that's lucky! Both the ones near me are pretty standard, the closest one has just been bought out by Blue Diamond, so I suspect things may not improve.
@GardenerSuze there is a really good nursery in Farnham about 45 minutes away, loads of plants, I just need the time to get over to it.
@Loxley fortunately for me, by the time I get home I have a whole new set of ideas to disappoint myself with!
@Latimer I have a Blue Diamond near to me. They are expensive but I have bought some unusual plants from there. Stock is generally of a good standard, although last summer they had to fight to keep things watered. If you do buy from them it is about being selective, can you buy the same elsewhere cheaper. I did buy a large pot of Galanthus Polar Bear an amazing late snowdrop from them earlier in the year new to me. The only other place I would have found these would be on line. They have some very expensive stuff including those expensive metal fairies sold out in a week!
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
@Loxley Yes that is what I was thinking of when I mentioned a local nursery. Not good on wet day lots of puddles. A good place to visit for something different as I am sure you know.

I need to stop going into GCs though, they all stock the same imported plants, none of which seem interesting enough to me.
