2. Pretty spiffy garden centre, Janet! I don’t think I could pick up a Dicksonia antarctica at any in my area. Even if I could afford one.

   1. It claims to be the first ‘garden centre’ , as opposed to nursery, in England after the boss had a holiday to North America and saw some there. But I imagine those running the first one could not have imagined the huge restaurant, gift shop, BBQ hardware and garden furniture etc that make it an outing for locals and visitors!

      1. I don’t think there are any plant nurseries in Canada that also have restaurants or even coffee shops. But then, gardening isn’t as high-profile here as it is in Britain.

      2. I think, reading articles about Chelsea and gardening generally, we can actually claim to be the most gardening mad country. Of course there are plenty of people who detest gardening and are happy with a strip of concrete! People who don’t actually do any gardening can still enjoy an outing to a garden centre, with all the other stuff there. My 92 year old neighbour is still planting up her tubs and beds.

4. £500+ for a tree fern that will probably die after 10 days in my garden or outside my front door in a pot? No thanks. I have accepted my fate in that I don’t have ‘green fingers’. I have the opposite, ‘black death fingers’. ☺️

   Best wishes, Pete.

   1. They have quite a few tree ferns on the shop floor, but I have never seen anyone at the till with one!
