Together they take care of the client's queries, mine included, and tend to the garden centre. I really love them and wish I too could bring my pooch to work. This is a well-stocked Palmers garden centre with a huge nursery with seedlings, trees and pot plants for your home garden. Their vegetable seedling trays are in great condition, not spindly and over the mark as you will find in some establishments. I particularly like their gifts in the show room and have picked up a thing or two for friends and family here. Yes, they do gift wrapping.

There are heaps of places to buy plants now, however if you are keen on gardening and getting…read moresomething special in the ground then you need to take a look at Kings. As the core business of the place is plants, and the staff are actually gardeners who are passionate about plants, you are going to find if you want something different and a choice of size and variety, then you need a specialty store like Kings. You can also get on the mailing list, and get a 'heads up' about what is coming up in the next week. This summer with all the hot weather my partner and I fell in love with hibiscus, and as we were told via the weekly email about the 50% hibiscus deal we managed to pick up 5 varieties of hibiscus! Kings staff will be able to advise you about plant problems you may have, and also sell all of the fertilizers and sprays that you may need, plus pots, soils, stones, bark, and tools. They can get very busy on the weekend, and if you have a tricky question it may be better to go in mid week when there will be full-time staff to answer your questions.

King Plant Barn renewed my love for garden centers. You see, these days I find Garden Centres to be…read morea bit lackluster, full of dizzy lizzies and petunias and whatnot. Sure, Kings had these too but they also had a number of other interesting options - succulents (not as good as coromandel cacti, mind you), ferns, mosses and bonsais as well as plenty of beautiful floral options. They even sell fake flowers and a great range gardening tools and accessories. We came here recently to get a couple of white flowered plants to liven up my Marketing booth. There were so many to choose from we spent a good hour making up our minds. In the end we got a couple of Kalanchoes and a Chrysanthemum and some white pots to match. The total spend was v.reasonable! I know it's heading into Winter but I have a feeling I am going find excuses to get here on the reg.
