The ladies at Lagoon View Nursery were really friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about their plants. The place is massive and they have a really simple pricing method - small pots $5 up to big pots $30 ! We got plants for $30 that we would normally expect to pay around $75 for. All their plants are extremely healthy specimens and we only looked at about 25% of what they had in stock as our car boot was full after 15 minutes!! A bit of a journey to get their but well worth the trip, definitely going back for more.
On the way home we stopped at yet another garden centre for afternoon tea and a look at their aquarium centre which was lovely with sea horses, clown fish and coral reefs. All in all a fun day out.
None of the water features lived up to expectations as we'd like something similar to what M have in their displays but I have sourced this (see below) online from a firm in Brisbane who make them to order for you.....now the only problem is convincing Sandy that $5,000 for a water feature is a great investment!

What a beautiful water feature! It's very contemporary but at the same time has a rustic feel. The price tag is a little scary though, but they always are! I love plant shopping and it sounds like you had a great day out :)
ReplyDeleteWe sure did have a great day out shopping for plants, then a tough day today getting them in the garden as some areas are so compacted you almsot need a pick axe! Nice to see the veggie garden started though.
ReplyDeleteGardening is hard yakka but very rewarding and yours looks great so far. I can't wait to have my own as well(not that it will be much)!
