    I ordered 20 1.8m privets from amazon.

    They turned up today and I’ll never buy plants online again. Nothing like the pics or the description.

    Where is the best garden centre/nursery around Manchester?

    I went into norcutts today but the prices were really high.

    If your looking for hedging plants, best to look for a local nursery that specialises in hedging.
    Find one locally online that you can visit.

    Notcutts is just a rip off garden centre.:smile:

    Agree with that....a local nursery where you can see the plants, even haggle a bit, is the way to go :)
