FAQ ers to create a favoured gardens; nurseries; garden centres FAQ?
I know there is a suppliers but often some of the best nurseries are tucked
away
with limited monies for advertising - and personal recommendations are so
much better
Then anyone about to go somewhere may find places that are good to visit
and as others are found through the year they can be added???
Its a very very tricky one.. Favourite may not be to anothers taste,..
if your into say bamboos you may have a 'favourite' nursery, but others
may abhor the stuff so probably wouldn't like it!-)
What's the problem? If it's someone's favourite then surely that's
enough - who said everyone else had to agree?
No one!-) Whats the problem? You tell me.. who said there was a
problem!-))
Its easy enough to find suppliers of a fave type once you start looking
and talking to people IMO.
But it's always useful to have recommendations.
Mebbe some guidelines on how to do this?
My recommendation is that if someone thinks this a good idea they should
say so and ask for recommendations. The compiler should decide if
something goes in or out.
FWIW my 'favoured' recommendations below!-)

Future Foods is a small independent mail order supplier specialising in
rare and unusual edible plants. Please note that we are a seed company
only - we do not supply produce.
What we offer is seeds of fruits & greens, roots & tubers, salads &
herbs. Unlike most other seed companies, we also offer fungi (as
inoculated logs and as spore) and fermentation starter cultures, as well
as a few horticultural sundries - labels, seed boxes and so on to help
our customers get the most from our products. We can easily mail to all
countries within the EU, and to other countries too, but for that we do
need to charge a little more to cover postage.
Interesting multipurpose plants!-)

The Agroforestry Research Trust is a non-profit making charity,
registered in England, which researches into temperate agroforestry and
into all aspects of plant cropping and uses, with a focus on tree, shrub
and perennial crops.
We produce several publications and a quarterly journal, and also sell
plants, seeds and Rootrainers.
A superb selection of multipurpose plants.
As well as these I also find the specialist suppliers (ususally the
collection holders & growers as well) associated with the NCCPG (also
known as 'plant heritage') very useful if searching out a plant
belonging to a certain Genus.
They are a bit like the heritage seed library of the ornamental world!-)
NCCPG also tends to do some fantastic stuff at their plant sales. Well
worth going to!-) Contact the NCCPG for more info:

You may also find the 'martex' directory useful in addition to google
when tracking down suppliers.
