Keep meaning to get this! The bees love it!

Well I think you should 😁 a lot of my ordering is your fault sending me that link, this wasnt on it I dont think, might have been though, I'm getting muddled with all me ordering 😂😘 @rachelbrooks

Oh that’s it! Blame me! 🙄😜 #iblamerachel 😉 Well I’m sure it’ll look fabulous anyway and yes maybe I’ll treat myself...it’s been a couple of days since I bought a plant! 😱😆

😂😂 The crocosmia I got is a make do because it said Canary on the link and I couldn't get that 😘 @rachelbrooks

Lots of lovely plants arriving Jayne! Were these the Crocus ones?

I’m sure you won’t even notice! 🙈

First lot were Claire Austin Tash, second lot I've just put on are Crocus 😊 @tash74

I used to work for Claire Austins aunt! She owned the wholesale nursery I worked at before she sold it (to my ex - he's sold his share and set up on his own since). She's now pretty much retired I think. Her daughter is the garden designer Bunny Guiness. Very garden minded family! Claire Austin always has a good range of plants.

Wow that's interesting, not the bit about you ex though 😁 @tash74

😂 It's all water under the bridge now! Long time ago and I'm very happily married to a wonderful guy with no gardening knowledge so there are no arguments about the garden, what I say goes!! No regrets.

Glad he sold his share though, I love the nursery and go back twice a year for their public sale days to stock up. He was in partnership with our old boss, who I get on really well with! Always tries to get me back working there!

Good staff are hard to find, I learned that @tash74
