Ok I’m sure Di and Cristina will know straight away where this place is. I was in work from 07:30 this morning and had no idea how lovely the weather was outside. When I stepped outside my first thought was to get to this garden centre before closing. So I made it with an hour to spare and had a lovely walk round and spent far too much money again…………..Ssssssshhhhh don’t tell Mr Cupcake ;O)
I had to buy this Peony!
Now if only I could make my garden look like that place!

Ha Lilbet I bought some alpines, a camellia, the peony bowl of beauty, some perennials I forget their name, a big thistle plant again forgot the name, some geraniums, some wood border edging and a wooden toadstool. I'll post the names later and some pics :0)
ST it is a fair drive from me but it's not far from my work so I went from there.
Cristina I knew you lived near but not that near. I just went on the spur of the moment after work but next time I'll arrange to meet you :0)

Cristina, Di had told me about this place and when I saw your blog it made me want to go even more. I decided to go spur of the minute on Sun. I work at The Christie in Withington so it's not far at all :O)

Oh, Mcc, isn't that idyllic?! Fantastic pics too pet, thanks for taking the trouble to put this blog together, what with sizing and loading the pics, blogs can take a while! And all after working all day...you must be pooped!
You didn't tell us what you bought? (Whisper it, we won't tell MrCc!! ;0)) And your garden will be beautiful in it's own unique way, It'll be your very own garden!!
