Found out that the very friendly and knowledgeable Wych Cross Garden Centre
in Forest Row, East Sussex, that specialises in Roses (about 600 varieties)
and that also has a very good cafe is being sold to Wyvales shortly.
The staff have been told not much will change!
Looking at their unusual and stunning Christmas Decorations I can't see
Wyvales stocking hand made German lace ornaments for one thing, however,
being able to supply 600 varieties of Rose to all their outlets might be an
advantage.
My local Garden Centre here in Cornwall has just sold up to a large
conglomerate.

It's gone from being a Garden Centre with odds 'n' ends to all odds 'n'
ends with some plants. Sad really, but that's the way the modern world
runs I suppose.

There's more profit in some tatty Xmas decorations that in a packet of
fertilizer and a box of seed spuds.
