It wasn't intended to be. It was intended to be s helpful suggestion to get cheap plants next year.

For this year, you could try Columbia Road market.

The big Sainsburys sells plants, and often has reductions on those they haven't watered which are sometimes worth nurturing back to health! Don't know why they sell plants frankly, they really don't know how to look after them...

Sorry, no. I don't do plants for other people to order.

Columbia Road market is miles away for most people to travel to buy plants Sue.

Also agree with point about Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill with their plant selling. Half of the poor plants are crying out to be watered and I've rescued loads whilst they're on offer but feel quite sad when they are just left to die.

Sainsburys must have a member of staff who could water all their plants for sale surely? Not a good point of sale as you walk in to their entrance.

The plant stall on North X Rd market i cheaper than most. For cheap plants I go to Homebase or B&Q

It obviously isn't local, but it's not hard to get to by bus.

You can transport plants quite easily on the bus in one of those big blue IKEA bags.
