Wheres the cheapest place to buy plants/bushes etc?

Wheres the cheapest place to buy plants/shrubs/bushes etc within a 10mile radius of newtownabbey?

Would there be any good garden centres or would B&Q/homebase be better?

Thanks

    I usually find the independent Garden Centre a lot cheaper than B&Q / Homebase, plus the selection and free advice is far superior:T

    There is a lovely big garden centre on the M2 slip for Ballyclare/Larne as far as I remember, I spent hours there one sunny Saturday and filled the trailer, the products and advice were first class and the prices excellent, especially for their more matured stock:T

    Alternatively you could just lift a lock of Daffs off the roundabouts (Runs for cover) :rotfl:
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:

    I think so, it was a few years back now when, my sister lived in Ballyclare, I had to stock out her garden. There is also a place on the main Larne road just off the M2 as far as I know, but it may be the same place:o

    Hope this helps, but any independent Garden centre usually tends to be cheaper than the Nationals with better plants and useful free advise:T
