MY BARGAIN OF TODAY

I was in Nantwich, Cheshire today walking through the Market and stopped to talk to a Plant Nursery Stall Holder. He knows I'm a plant fanatic and we were talking about things I'd bought from him including some Gold Lace Primula. Anyway, he said, as a side thought, "I've got some in the Van" and went to find them only to appear with a tray asking "do you want 'em?". "How much for what's in the tray?" I said without getting a good look. "A Fiver" he grinned and knowing he always has good stock I gave him a Fiver and got:




4 Primula and 4 Saxifraga. Well, I think I got a bargain!!

 

Good going that, LD. Yes, Gypsophilia will die down in the Winter, but it will come back.

 

I haven't been to Morreys Plant Nursery, off the A51, in years, Gazania. I remember it was a good Nursery then so it doesn't surprise me to hear it still is. To be honest, I tend to buy from anywhere depending what's for sale and what appeals to me.
I do buy a lot of herbaceous perennials from Arley Hall as I go there at least twice a year for the gardens which are magnificent. The Plant Nursery is fairly small but carries a good range of interesting plants at pretty low prices, much better than a regular Plant Nursery. I like Crug Farm Nursery in Wales for unusual and exotic plants and it's always worth a visit.

 

Yeah, a bit of water, warmth, and light should do the trick

 

You're right, Merleworld, getting 3 plants in one pot is a real bargain.....makes you chortle all the way home! Anyone else get a bargain, plantwise, that made them grin!?

 

ARMANDII, that's a good price.

The best deals around here are at the professional nurseries that also sell to the public. The best one, always superb condition plants, charges 80p per pot for 3.5" pots. Which is less than half the price that the garden centres charge.
