Nurseries that specialise and grow there own beat garden centres with pantechnicons delivering foreign grown plant in massive car parks. Well you can’t complain at the sight of these Heuchera and other plants growing in Holden a small hamlet near Bolton by Bowland in Lancashire with its own plantsmans nursery as the main employer in the hamlet.

Beware garish garden centres selling plants that defy belief or at least defy the seasons. A Lancashire garden centre was selling these lilies in full ‘April’ flower when the daffodils are still opening in the local hills..
