Plants wanted
 
I am looking for some plants for my garden, i have just built some
decking which looks good. But the rest of the garden looks like a
building site.

I am going to lay turf over most of the garden with a couple of nice
shrubs and some container plants on the decking, with some begonias in
hanging baskets.

I would like to buy the plants online, can anyone reccomend a good
reliable internet site where i could purchase all of the above,
preferably mature plants.

Cheers

In my humble opinion - for what it's worth - I think you'd be better finding
a good garden centre.

I buy loads of stuff online, and I think it's absolutely wonderful - but as
far as living plants are concerned you'd be better talking to someone about
your conditions and looking the plants over and picking them out. I'm a
totally ignorant newbie gardener, with absolutely no idea about what I'm
doing - I have a great garden centre about 8 miles away; took their advice
and everything I bought has done very well.

Of course, online research is great.

You would be better off finding a decent nursery. Garden centres are a license to take you wallet and run away, laughing and giggling whilst they book a holiday @ some very expensive location at your expense.
