Recommended Posts

Hi - wondering if anyone can recommend a good plant nursery in south-east London or Kent? Am looking for advice as well as to buy. Ideally looking for specialists in prairie grasses and/or any of the following:

Dierama

Stipa

Verbena

Echinops

Salvia

Nerine

Agapanthus


Thanks!

Rebecca

we love the Alleyns Garden centre in West Dulwich, just off Alleyn Park Rd...It's not a massive centre, but think they can source plants for you if you ask. They are super helpful and know their plants..Karen is particularly lovely and always gives good advice, their plants are great quality too.

I didn't know the RHS gave awards to garden centres?


What did it win? I'm impressed!

Hmm. I don't think they do. they give awards to plants but I don't think they give them to garden centres per se. So the award would be for the producer, rather than the garden centre. Some big garden centres do produce their own plants though.

    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.  
    • ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
