I get the impression from the Byline Times story that perennials are part of the give away too. The claim being that they haven't the staff to maintain them and take cuttings.
Ironically, the plant nursery manager says they will have to import plants from the EU next year because they'll have no stock grown on for the spring.
A Brexit Benefit for EU plant suppliers, then?
Looking for sage, tons of it, and plenty of other herbs, many homegrown plants, and plants from the Netherlands. Funny how some garden centres are managing very well, other are using excuses for poor management. By the look of the plants here in this centre all well looked after, and more than enough to choose from. Like a child in a sweet shop.
Do you understand what a plant nursery is, Lincslass, as opposed to a garden centre?
Yes, we do import lots of plants from the EU, have done for years, but the nursery manager was pointing out that they would have to import more from the EU because he had no staff to propagate more plants for next year.
Though if some posters are to be believed that this was a publicity stunt then the stuff about shortages of locally grown plants may be not quite what it seems.
It should be noted that it's currently easy to import plants from the EU because there are no border checks yet. This could change once the SPS checks are being operated.
