Garden centre

Rinus KRinus K Posts: 67

Still rain and wind today. Not the right condition to work in the garden. So I went to a huge garden centre. Not to buy something but just to spend a few hours in a nice environment. I saw some beautiful plants with nice flowers and just in the colours that fit in my garden. As usuall I couldn't resist the temptation and left the garden centre with a car boot full new purchases while I hardly have space left in the borders to plant them in. This happens always visiting a garden centre and never in any other store.

Anyone recognize this?

    Rarely buy anything from GC other than compost. Cant afford the prices.

    Lucky you Dave 2356 - hopefully you will get a nice discount and opportunities for extras which - for whatever reason - cannot be added to displays or whatever.image

    (Not sure about the smiley I added here....my eyesight can't really see the detail.  Thought it was a halo on top but could be anything.  So apologies if it means something contrary to the sentiment!).
