lil-minx92 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Where is cheap around Sheffield for a good selection of plants to stock a garden? B&Q isn't particularly cheap unless they have a 3 for 2 offer on, and most garden centres seem to be even more expensive than B&Q.. Are there any 'plant sales' coming up? Looking in particular for some tall bamboo (nearly £35 in B&Q!!) and other tropical looking plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Umpley Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 almost my entire garden has been stocked from plants off freecycle. its taken a year or so but its looking lovely and has cost me nothing but some time and diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking in particular for some tall bamboo (nearly £35 in B&Q!!) and other tropical looking plants B&Q do tend to be very cheap (although this year we've had problems with some of their plants dying). If you're looking for tall bamboo it will always be expensive, the more mature a plant is, the more expensive it will be I'm afraid. Other than that, look for local allotment sales etc. But they'd be unlikely to be selling bamboo & tropical stuff I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
