Do please take care - it may be innocent but it's really not worth the risk - there are some sick people out there. We have removed it this morning but there may be more again -
I haven't used the RHS online shop, however to the best of my knowledge none of the RHS gardens such as Wisley have a nursery (though they may sell plants there) , so whatever plants the RHS are selling will be grown elsewhere. It might be worth trying to find out where they get their retail plants from (it could be several different places, eg one for perennials, one for shrubs) and then googling reviews of those nurseries. I may be wrong, but I'm not convinced that buying from the RHS necessarily ensures a good plant. I once bought a perennial wallflower (Bowles Mauve) from Kew (not RHS, but you would expect good quality) which looked fine when I bought it, but didn't last long. I don't think it was due to my neglect, but who knows. It was in a large pot by my front door, where it got a lot of sun, so I have no idea what went wrong. Thanks for the recommendation for Croxted Road. I wonder if they can suggest some plants which I can put in the area under my bird feeders to deter the wood pigeons, who have transformed a large part of my very small garden into bare earth, and destroyed some treasured plants which I had had for years. Btw I'm sure you know this, but be very careful with Euphorbias. If you get any sap on your skin and it is exposed to sunlight, you will get an absolutely massive blister. I speak from past experience 😭 -
Thanks ianr. That's an interesting book! I see it says side effects are more common after the second dose of Moderna (page 13). I would have booked my jab for another week if I'd known. Kicking myself now. I wonder why this sort of thing isn't more widely publicised. I suppose partly for cost reasons and partly because they don't want to put people off having the jab.

It's useful to see these recommendations for local gardening centres. Wondering if anyone has used the RHS online plant shop, and if you'd recommend that? Currently trying to choose some new plants for our small garden! I got some good euphorbia from Croxted Road the other day. I had asked for them a previous week, and they said they'd put some aside for me when they got some in. They did and gave me a call. It seemed a good service with friendly staff.
