Christ what a meaningless day out going to a garden centre is. I freakin hate it. I was talking to our neighbours who had been saying that they go to the local garden centre to use the cafe. Oh great freakin joy. To be sat drinking coffee surrounded by price tickets on plants you have to have a degree to understand what they're called. Or a greenhouse with all the fixtures and fitting of kew gardens and around the same cost. I don't get it?
OK I need something for the garden lets sayyyyyy 24 tonnes ready mix concrete and a plastic tree job done. Otherwise it on the net choose bargain from somewhere and someone never heard of bam bam bam credit card bam bam bam confirmation e-mail bam bam bam. And all over a delicious mug of coffee made just how I like it smile

They do lovely home made soups too. And cakes! lol
Soooooooo..........you're a bit ambivalent about garden centres then Lostie? lol bolt
I think they are great places to walk round, I just don't buy anything there as they tend to be sooooooooooo expensive.
The local ones are staffed with not-spotty, very attractive, young female workers.
If I was you, I'd change your local garden centre.
Bloody hell Lostie. Has the missus switched you to de-caf without telling you?
One near us sells hot tubs! Ohh so tempting!

Ask if they do trials and will allow you to borrow one!!
In general cafes at Garden Centres tend to be expensive, but the great thing is they are easy to park near to - now there's a sensible reply for you. Trouble is, you are often on view to every Tom, Dick and Harry buying bags of compost. lol
Plim wink
What would be good is if they let you have your tea and cake in a hot tub!

I doubt you could drink the amount of tea you could get in a hot tub though and the cake would go soggy biggrin
Id give it a go though! biggrin
Friends of ours with a hot tub have a 'No Fabrics' rule for their hot tub, I wonder how well that would go down at the Garden Center too hahaha!
I hate garden centres for the other reason.
Not enough 'garden' stuff. Far too many cards, books on fairies, plastic (I ask you PLASTIC!!!) plants, plaques with silly comments on ('Only a boring woman has a tidy house' etc), clothes - and not sensible gardening clothes but stupid pink jodphurs and such like, whole racks of stupidly overpriced 'local' (yeah right!) artisan foods, acre upon acre of conservatory/garden furniture (what's wrong with an upturned bucket to sit on, or the luxury of a deck chair?).
You have to walk half a mile just to get to a trowel and then fight your way past ones with pink flowery handles - I kid you not, you can get whole sets of tools with pink flowery handles - and don't get me started on the range of brightly patterened wellies - in adult sizes FFS.

We go to gardening centres for completely different reasons
We enjoy wandering about the narrow aisles of plants whilst touching each other up
- it's great fun
The perfect prelude to an afternoons shagging
Sometimes we even make it home before we have to "park up"
