Dear Cherie, yes we are very lucky indeed. It is an Irish family business and they know their plants and are not scared of hard work, unlike the junk in the chain Garden Centres! There is a Chain garden Centre near us and they employ non trained youngsters, who prefer to listen to their i Pods than do any work or talk to a customer! They are useless and the plants show it as well, they are terrible. Shannon's plants are always of a high quality and it shows just in my pictures. Yesterday I had to walk up there to get some information for Jon about Dianthus and was taking some more pictures, one of the family bosses came up and had a word with me whilst armed with a hose as he was watering the plants and making sure everything was alright. In the Chain Garden Centres you never see a boss, let alone one watering and checking the plants!
Shannon's has a good reputation and it shows!
Regards.
Neil.
