Goodness me , what have I picked up ??

Hello JWK, They were at Glazier's Lane surgery ( near Normandy) . They are just inside the entrance . They also have lots of different plants, seeds, small bags of Compost. Everything is half the price of what you would normally pay

 

That is such a great idea .

Secure place to sell plants.
Lots of constantly changing "customers".
Encourages impulse buys cos plants are so cheap.... everyone loves a bargain!
Gets people out in their gardens.. in fresh air/sunshine to plant things.
Maybe it will attract people who would never dream of going into an expensive garden centre... get them interested in learning about plants/growing/gardening

Just a brilliant idea.
Might even make everyone healthier.
Should be made compulsive for all GP's to try this!!!!

 

Can I add : behind the surgery is a ' Therapy garden' this is where many people with health issues can go to learn and grow plants or just relax

 

What a good surgery that is , can i register.....

 

Just a couple of minutes from there ( further up the lane) there is a lady in her 70s that sells plants outside the front of here house. I have never had 1 problem with anything I have bought from her. She splits the plants in her garden ( garden is massive) both her and her husband adore their garden and have kept it up since they bought the house when first married. I can honestly say her's are the best value , they never fail .

 

Just to let you know JWK , if there isn't any in the surgery, as you drive in to the little cul-de-sac , if you look straight ahead there is a huge car park. Drive into here and to your left is a hut , as you get closer to it you can see the gardens . Inside you will find reception and all you have to do is to ask to see the plants. I have been today and there are about a dozen of the ones you liked. There is lot's of other plants, herbs etc. Very friendly people and very good prices . It is actually a Charity and the money raided on the plants go toward it. The lady I spoke to has a husband that works in Kew Gardens and he advises them on the plants

 

So glad you found it , you learn something everyday as I didn't have a clue about them specialising in joint pain

 

Thanks for the link. I am amazed as I only really found out a little bit on Monday
