Plant sale, really good value

A little known about gem in Birmingham is Cofton Nursery, think they do stuff for Birmingham City parks. They have an open weekend Saturday 28 through to Monday 30th May. I have always found them to be really good value, as they sell the surplus plants for summer bedding and hanging baskets. Think they open at 9 till 4. If you want to go along they are at Lickey Road, Rednal B45 8UR.

    We sell winter and summer flowering bedding, House plants and a few shrubs and vegetables.
    Also planted tubs and hanging baskets.

    Our plants have won Britain in bloom for birmingham and gold at RHS flower shows.

    Our plants can be seen all around Birmingham city centre and surrounding suburbs.

    Come and have a look around, you dont have to buy but are welcome to browse.

    We have a big `open day` at whitsun bank holiday selling all kinds of plants and planted tubs. check local press.

    Hope to see you soon.

    I suggest you check with the Mods before advertising.

    Not too long ago, you'd have thought it was compulsory on the "Grabbit" board. :p

    That's as may be, but I don't particularly want to have to wade through post after post of advertising when I'm reading a thread.

    If you don't get rid of spam or advertising posts when they happen, then it'll just spread and more and more companies will post.

    Depends what you want from MSE I suppose.
