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.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
