Considering the grumbles sometimes seen here about the stuff you have to
wade through at garden centres to get to the plants, I thought it might
amuse urglers to hear of a survey we've just been sent by a trade
organisation, asking us to tick all the various things we sell or provide.
The possibles a
aquatics, barbecues, books/magazine, children's play area, Christmas goods,
coffee shop/restaurant, conservatories, cut flowers, disabled access, DIY
products, fencing, floristry, garden design and landscaping, garden
construction materials, garden furniture, garden machinery, garden sheds,
garden tools, giftware, greenhouses, health food, houseplants, customer
information desk, carp parking and estimated no. of spaces, customer toiler
facilities, pets/pet products. Please note - nowhere does it say 'plants'.

They forgot:
Xmas ornaments
Easter bunnies
Dried flowers
etc etc
