Pearspring, new plants/botanical shop

[siousxiesue]

I love this new addition to the Lane, next door to organic butchers W.Rose.

Lovely choice of houseplants and calm interior, I fell for the mini succulents! Also some gorgeous botanical posters which I'll have to find a place for in my home!

Me, too. What a delightful shop and space. Expert staff and reasonably priced plants and pots. Love the art gallery at the back. Some people seemed to defend the previous state of this space, but in my view, I prefer this. Congratulations, Pearspring.

You are rather misrepresenting some people's "defence of the previous state of this space", aren't you, Ms Blueberry?

The situation, and the reason for their "defence" of it, has clearly changed since you first complained about the state of the building.

ETA: As a plant lover, I look forward to visiting Pearspring.

I was thinking the very same thing but refrained my self from comment.

I too like the Botanical prints. Have to check out the price. It's the sort of thing I might treat myself to.

Perhaps read the whole of the thread in question before jumping in?

ETA: If you have, it's a little hard to understand your defence of somebody who describes a building as "infecting" a space.

And you say "it is alleged", and then refer to "cold hard and boring facts." So is what you say is "alleged" a fact, or not?
