I often joke to Mrs that some garden centres need a big sign saying "Dead
plants - Half price!"

I agree with you totally on that one!

However surely they should be 'free to a good home' !!! Afterall they
are not going to be able to sell them are they?

Good point. I've never got enough plant pots. I wonder what happens to dead
plants? Do they and the plastic pot end up in landfill? Perhaps a nursery
will re-use the pots, but I doubt garden centres do.

David.

Plants go on a gigantic compost heap or bonfire and pots are re-used. Don't
know about garden centres but I think plants and pots simply get dumped
together in a skip.
