decent garden centre to buy some plants :-)
Can you ask on the gardening newsgroup for recommendations of garden
centres to the west of Reading, so I don't just end up in Focus or B&Q?

Thanks""Mike
Oh, please don't end up in B&Q or Focus!

I very much recommend Dobbies in Shinfield(Hyde End Road).

Winnersh Garden Centre neat the Showcase cinema is pretty good too and has a respectable loyalty scheme.

Henry St in Arborfield isn't to bad either, especailly if you are in to roses.


There is also Hare Hatch on the A4 near Twyford(opposite the Wyevale Garden Centre), plus Cobblands going just a little further down the A4. A bit further out, but worth a look.

Hope this all helps!
