I have been hunting for a new garden centre for some time after the sad loss of our local one (next to east Dulwich station) I have finally found a new one.....Alleyn Park garden centre in west dulwichn http://www.alleynpark.co.uk. I found it listed on the Independents top 50 best garden centres in the UK. I went there this morning and found the staff super friendly and really helpful, especially useful when you are a novice like me. Apparently they have been there for almost 10 years and it's no surprise that I'd not seen it before as it is tucked away on Park Hall road (the entrance is opposite cafe rouge). There is a wonderful selection of plants, flowers and all the paraphernalia you need to keep your garden looking great. It's a real little gem and I cannot recommend it enough. Thanks guys!

    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.   
    • Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.
    • The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.
