Re: Winter garden view - any suggestions?
I know how you feel - but what about a dogwood in a pot, or Arbutus or Witch Hazel, underplanted with winter pansies - or a large pot with a trellis framework of Hamamelis. Also sarcococca scent is wonderful. And what about fairy lights to brighten the gloom? We've got a little solar powered robin w...

British Garden Centres
Our local Wyevale is being taken over by British Garden Centres. Does anyone have experience of buying from them? Curious to see how their prices compare.

Honesty plant
