There were a couple of incidents (pre pandemic) of possibly contaminated meat being left on Peckham rye. I remember having a conversation with one of the gardeners. Always best to be cautious -
We go to Coolings garden centre which is'nt exactly local its near Bromley but they do deliver. Since Shannons closed we've been going there-its HUGE good knowledgeable staff and not overpriced. every plant we've purchased from them has done really well-AND theres a lovely pub nearby! -
Really good food, hope people support, was quite quiet when we went. Great service too. -
If you want a small prickly evergreen for shade I would recommend Ruscus aculeatus. Unlike Pyracantha, which grows big and is unpleasant to prune, Ruscus only grows to a metre and it will grow in very dark dry shade where almost nothing else does. It is viciously spiny and has very good red berries in winter. Berberis darwinii and Berberis julianae are two good evergreen Berberis that will grow in partial shade. I usually order from Burncoose but I have always had a good service from Crocus.
