Yeah it’s not the cheapest but the plants are good quality and well looked after. However, I walked away with nothing as nothing seemed like a great buy to me
Wow the price of those Trachys, shows you how much mark up they make, no doubt same suppliers that supply B&M who still make a profit selling them at £150
I know! I’m not sure how much B&M make on their £150 trachys but whatever they do make takes them about a day to make whereas at Barton grange they might take years to sell
I suspect the primary supplier of Barton Grange GC is GCP (Garden Centre Plants), a wholesaler located about 10 mins from the garden centre. I know this because I also use GCP as a supplier to buy certain plants for the garden centre I manage. The white labels attached to the specimens are from the nursery, not the garden centre. I instruct my staff to rip them off as soon as the plants arrive as they tend to confuse customers :D I doubt they supply B&M but could be wrong, all of the specimens will be Italian imports anyway. But agree the markup is excessive, almost as bad as Bents.
I love these type of videos going around garden centres and looking at everything and seeing the prices ❤
Thanks for the comment, there will be plenty more of that going forward!
Looks pricey, but impressive selection of plants 😊
