Title: Garden Centres
Post by: no ideas man on December 15, 2005, 10:32:03 AM

Hi
    In my area ther are 4 garden centres 2 are well known 2 not can anyone answer the question as to why they insist on filling the places with everything christmas don't get me wrong christmas is a great time but surely a garden centre is for all things garden and should remain so usually the plant side as been pushed to one side at this time and believe me I have been in centres where the plants are so neglected they could not give them to me never mind take my cash. hope this post does not offend anyone it was not ment to.

Happy Gardening

Hi Harry
Its not a good shopping experience for the plant experts, Harry, thats for sure.

However, our favourite garden centres have to make a living, and perhaps we should excuse them at Christmas for deviating from the norm a little.

The good thing about it is, as soon as Christmas is over, they'll be pushing themselves to the limit to please their regulars. Its great to see the new stock coming in.
