Goodbye Plant Nation?

I was sorry to see the other day some sort of "Development" sign above Plant Nation, the little garden centre on Upland Road. I assume it will be replaced by houses. I have always liked it as a cheerful and convenient local business, and if it's closing, it'll be a longer trek to pick up something for the garden.


One of the features I've always liked about East Dulwich is the little businesses and garages to be found in some of the back streets. Slowly one by one they are giving up the ghost. Perhaps inevitable, but for us old-timers a little sad too.

Ok, fair enough numbers, I'm out-number-ed (sorry sorry).


How would you all define a "fine establishment", as in "One of Dulwich's finest establishment", and what would you say were the other "fine establishments" in Dulwich?


I thought it was a quite nice little place selling plants, with friendly people and occasionally some quite nice plants. It had very little space so the selection was extremely small, and the prices weren't that cheap. Sometimes the plants on sale were let's say tired, and other times they weren't kept sufficiently watered.


No idea about their "excellent gardening knowledge", as I never had cause to ask their advice, but it would be a bit surprising if they didn't have good knowledge given that they were running a plant centre, albeit a very small one!

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
