Friday 25th May
Attendees: Jo (driving), Debbie, Claire, Vicky
A blind person in the garden centre that day would have blushed to hear the sighs and squeals of four excited ladies.
I was sceptical as we approached the scruffy and unkempt entrance, but we emerged from the car (the only one in the car park) into bright, hot sunlight and into an Aladdin's horticultural cave. This is a true nursery, with not a sniff of a scented candle or the clink of china in the tea-shop. Instead, it has rows and rows (and rows and rows...) of vigorous plants in myriad varieties - mostly at £3 or £5 per pot. Every few seconds one of us would gasp with pleasure at yet another choice specimen, as every turn of the head or few steps' advancement brought sight of a blooming delight. We left with a full car - and the desire to come again.
