Hi there,


We are looking to get a small tress for our front garden and have been the dulwich garden centre, which although great, doesn't have enough range. Does anyone know any pretty big garden centres that we can drive to? Don't mind them being up to an hour away - if they're good enough! Any recommendations would be very much appreciated!


Thanks,


Annie

Yes. There is a great one I used to visit when I used to go see my Great Aunt in her old folks home.

It in a tiny area called Sutton at Hone near Dartford and between M2 and M20 motorways. Hang on and I'll get the streetmap location.


OK it's here.


Bomb down the A2 and take a right on the A225 Hawley Road, which is the junction before the Darenth Interchange (which connects with the M25). The Hawley Garden Centre is on the right, and is just before the bridge which is - I think - the M25 or M20 motorway.


If you can not take a right on to the A225 Hawley Road then carry on to the big roundabout which is the junction of the M25, and go back on yourself so you can then do a left in to the Hawley garden Centre.


There's some nice country side around there.


If you CAN'T take a turn off the A2 to the A225 use a satnav or look in to the link above and work it out a different way through the very pretty towns of Wilmington, Sutton at Hone, via the A2!

Evergreen Wholesale Plant Nurseries is the one that we use, it's massive and sells trees galore.


It's all trade prices ( just walk in, they won't turn you away if you're not trade ) and not far away in Carlshalton/Wallington.


By far the best i've found (& I sell stuff to garden centres).


To discover the prices look on the label and the last digits of the code are the trade price.

You HAVE to go to Coolings in Knockholt, the other side of Bromley. It's about a 35 min drive from ED and has the best selection probably in the South East. We seem to end up there at least 5 or 6 times a year! www.Coolings.co.uk


It really is miles better than Ruxley Manor.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
