    Hi again,

    Which is the best garden center in Manchester / North West?

    I'm after a place which has a good variety of flowers / plants rather than the cheapest.

    Regards,

    Must admit very hard to beat Bents however can be pricy

    Not tried Bents,I must pay it a visit. I came across one place I was quite impressed with but can't remember it's name.It's on the A572 between the M60 and the east Lancs, round about Alder wood or Middle wood.Not a big posh place but a good choice.

    Bents is probably one of the largest GC in the country. Its excellent to browse around for ideas but is very pricey. You should find the same plants cheaper just a few miles down the East-Lancs at -

    This is the best GC in my area (Wigan) for price/selection/quality
