Husband and I then ordered lunch and ate it in the lovely garden, in the shade of trees - why go abroad when there is this delightful place on our doorstep. Bought white cosmos for our blue pots ... it couldn't have been more perfect, but for one thing; my little baby camera packed in, battery needed charging ... you'd think I'd have learned to check that by now, wouldn't you ...<br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-86272712467606274602010-05-24T21:11:47.479+01:002010-05-24T21:11:47.479+01:00I much prefer specialist plant nurseries to common...I much prefer specialist plant nurseries to common-or-garden garden centres.

As well as being a horticulturist's paradise, it is also a bird lovers paradise ... there is even a seed tray by the desk, so you might be paying for your plants in the company of birdies!<br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-91711233960221171142010-05-24T15:44:46.529+01:002010-05-24T15:44:46.529+01:00Hi Sal
