Same as Harlow Carr. I wrote to them about it, and got a polite reply to the effect that it was an aspiration to stock in the garden centre plants that visitors will have seen in the garden. But it was clear that other priorities were higher, and that it won't happen in the foreseeable future.
And while the bookshop is still excellent, even that is reducing its range of plant books.
