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.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
