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!

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!!

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)
