Title: Nursery/Garden Center in East London/Essex
Post by: teflon on May 27, 2009, 21:32

A bit of a long shot this,but can anyone reccomend me a nursery or garden center in this area?Im looking for something a bit better than the  usual range of half dead  plants & cheap plastic tools that B&Q& Homebase normally offer.
  Thanks.

Just down the hill from Bluewater towards Graves end there is a good Garden centre they stock good quality tools, and you pay good price's.  Its not that far from you really on the A2 if you want more details let me know i will look into it for you.
