Bargain Danny

My local B&Q Warehouse have had all the palms reduced to half price for the last 3 weeks.
I keep popping in to check on the tree ferns but as yet they have not reduced them :(

Nothing doing in ours. To be honest our Homebase has had better stuff this year so I've got my eye on theirs.

Called in at B&Q this afternoon for some compost

Palm were still half price and were still not selling.... Caught the garden supervisor and persuaded him to reduce some plants for me to 80 p/c of pot price

Picked up £324 worth of plant for £52

Including a £59.99 Trachycarpus for £10 and a £59.99 Chamy for £10, But best of all a 5 foot tree fern pot price £99.99 for £15 :ahhh!:

That is a very good bargain. I might pop in today. See what I can get. I never really think of going to B&Q.

the trachies are always a good buy when this time of year comes,think of it as investing in next year without the worry of losing over winter
