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!

Just to let you all know what's happening:

Ray has retired to the country taking Lloyd with him.

Keith hopes to be continuing with christmas trees and can also supply logs and kindling.

Any questions please feel free to pm or ring Keith on 07963730612

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
