Problem with gift

[DulCool1]

Hello. Maybe this question won't be connected with Dulwich; however, I have a 'gift' problem. My friend is interested in gardening. She has a small greenhouse in her garden where she grows veggies and some flowers. She has birthday in Fabruary so I thought that a good idea will be to order some seeds. I found one site that offers variety of plants - https://gardenseedsmarket.com/potted-flowers-en/ - but I don't know what to choose. Is there anyone who could help me? And what else, connected with gardening, could I buy?

West Dulwich garden centre would be a good place to ask !

If she has a greenhouse and is interested in gardening as you say, then I wouldn't buy any seeds; the chances are that she's already placed her seed order for 2019 - or will have done by February. It might be better to buy something where it doesn't matter if she has duplicates, e.g. wooden, or copper plant labels (nicer than plastic), a posh kneeling cushion, perhaps a terracotta pot or a glass cloche. It all depends upon your budget. Crocus.co.uk is a good site for garden stuff that's a little bit nicer than you'd buy yourself (and of course a bit more expensive).

Don't use Crocus.

I always used to highly recommend them but sadly I had some really appalling plants from them a few months back.

They refunded me, but they should never have been sent out in the first place, and there is no way I will ever use them again :(
