A request from one of my Daughters. Any takers?""Hiya

I've spent 3 of the last 4 days tidying up my garden, and now nearly
all the weeds are out (the rest will follow tomorrow) I need to find a
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!

Thanks Fluffball

Will copy that to her :-))

I think she has seen the photos of our garden and it has spurred her on ;-)

I hasten to add I am not the gardener. 'Her outdoors' is that :-)
