Brookside Nursery Free Post !

@JWK , John et al , Brookside Nursery have free post and packing until January the 2nd !
I have ordered my Begonia Santa Cruz as recommended by Trunky , and some trailing petunias . They even let you pick the delivery week . Now as far as we know no one has used Brookside on GC , so only time will tell if they are OK . Prices are very good hopefully quality and delivery are as well !

 

Its only about 20 minutes from my house, bought a few bits from them in the past, last time I was in there they had some nice plants, I got 2 hollies half price in the reduced section they've done ok since I got them.

 

Thanks Harry.....just having a look and I requested their catalogue too.

 

Just realised its the wrong Brookside Nursery, the one you mean Harry is in Tamworth, not exactly 20 minutes from Stockport

 

Very tempted by the Heathers...

Thompson and Morgan are offering free p&p till boxing day as well.

 

Yes this ones in Staffordshire Ian.
Suprising no one on GC has used them before , its nice to have a review of places. Hopefully we will not receive dry and shrivelled plugs 6 weeks late !

 

I think you will be pleased with the Sunpatiens , they are a little late to flower . But with some deadheading now and then they will flower until November when the frosts get them. They also perform quite well in light shade.
Our local nursery sell stunning baskets off Million kisses, but for some reason don't sell them as individual plants . These and the Santa Cruz are part of the Begonia Boliviensis group which have lovely bell shaped flowers. My first was a Begonia Bonfire about 6 years ago , can't find these now !

 

Cucumbers might be worth a shout too. 5 x Femspot F1 for £5.99

My Brookside Nursery order arrived on Thursday . So it was on time , you can select your delivery week , and the Begonia Santa Cruz and petunia plugs were large and healthy . So Brookside gets a from me !

 

Two dozen of the Petunia plugs planted up in x 6 cells , they are a really good size for plugs. They are delivered , as all mail order nurseries , in a micro cell tray each cell 20mm square. So you get 40 plugs in a cell tray as big as the palm of your hand It always amazes me .

 

They do look nice and healthy
