The best one nearby is probably The Secret Garden in Crystal Palace. There's a small one on Landsdowne Hill, West Norwood, too. Otherwise it's B&Q on Old Kent Road, though I order online instead from Crocus or Beth Chatto - which can work out a fair amount more expensive, but they have a much better range of plants.

Crocus are excellent - very wide choice, the plants arrive very well packaged and in good condition, and the customer service is excellent too.


They are not cheap, but they are worth the money in my opinion. They've got a sale on at the moment:

I didn't know Beth Chatto did online sales, but I've been to her garden/nursery and the plants on sale there were very good too.

Amazing - so many people on EDF bemoaning the loss of greengrocers, garden centres, yet at the same time happy to buy online!

When it comes to plants you can't expect most garden centres to stock everything as that requires a vast amount of space that only the out-of-town, online suppliers can hope to accommodate. I used to buy what I could from Dulwich Garden Centre and then get the more specialist stuff online, though I now have a longer list of alternatives thanks to the recommendations on this thread. Good to have local shops as well as online stores, of course - and it's perfectly reasonable to use both without being a hypocrite.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
