Wyevale - Horrfically overpriced!

[boxingtortoise]

I live in Croydon and we have a Wyevale nearby. I had to go in there the other day and was disgusted with the price of the seeds/potatoes/ onion sets etc. I normally go to the "Greenfingers Club" which is a shop attached to a local allotment site. i generally find their stuff to cost about a half to a quarter of that in Wyevale. The only problem is that they are only open for a couple of hours a day at weekends.
Does anybody here go to Wyevale, or a similr centre?

Only when the sale is on!  Half price seeds or less is Autumn ...

There is a Wyvales close to my mums, and the only thing they are good for is a visit pre-christmas with the kids as it is like santas grotto, and a nice cup of coffee.  They are outrageously over priced.

Don't know about Wyevales as haven't found one yet!  Does anyone know of good garden centres in Bolton/Wigan area because as new lottie owner i've not yet found a good one that doesn't charge ridiculous prices

Hi Sparky!

Brilliant one t'other side of Todmorden, on the Rochdale road!! But name escapes me at the mo'!!  

Very reasonable prices and fantastic selection of veggie seedlings, toms, peppers etc , which I found very handy when mine failed to germinate !!  

Might be too far out for you?? .....but I'm almost an hour's drive away...... well worth it!!

Cheers

I'll pay it a visit!
