In this day and age with all the chain owned, supermarket style Garden Centres, it is a pleasure to have a family run business with their own Garden Centre. This is a place for plant lovers, from beginners to the experienced. With helpful and knowledgeable staff, If they haven't got what you want, they will try to get if for you!

Neil: thank you for sharing this article about Shannon's Garden Centre. It sounds and looks a lovely place, the kind you can spend hours just browsing. Don't you just love them? I do! BTW, my younger daughter is named Shannon, so of course I had to read it!

Here's one of my newest daylilies in gratitude, When Vampires Roar:
