I visited a garden centre today, as part of my work, and what a lovely sight.
The blue skies, the flowers – the food. It was all there. It was a good wander around with some people I know.
However, there is something about country garden centres that doesn’t make sense.
It’s all packed in – it’s there – but where is it exactly in our national mindset?
Is it popular, still?
Is it noted, at present, as not just a valid pursuit but a needed pastime?
Is it still something we know we need to do?
Here are the pictures below:




As you can see, it’s a delightful place.
It isn’t however always busy and neither is gardening a thing of the present – or the past.
It just sits there, as an option, but how many of us really take it up?
Are we really that interested in it anymore?
