Hi. I'm looking for good quality outdoor container-grown plants (not big). Know anywhere good? I'm in the west but can and do travel.

  • After anything in particular? Dozens of garden centres in around Belfast

    No - hoping to see something I like! Part of the site's very shaded though, only gets sun in the evening.

    Which garden centres would you recommend?

    I've always found Dobbies Garden Centre on the Saintifield Road in Lisburn to be good. Whilst they aren't the cheapest, the plants are well cared for and there's a good selection. The staff have helped me out when choosing plants for particular locations.

    ... and they have a lovely cafe too!

  • Would second Dobbies as a good garden centre. Just up the road from there is Cameron's garden centre on Hillhall road which is much smaller but worth a look around on your way to Dundonald Nurseries which is my personal favourite for plants - (with their Secret Garden restaurant well worth a stop off).

    Stil not sure what you mean by "outdoor container grown plants" as that will encompass virtually every plant you will see in any nursery!

    Shady options/part sun - think Hosta, Hydrangea, aquilegia, foxglove, bleeding heart etc. Any of those places above will be happy to advise.

    Many thanks, and apologies: I meant plants for growing in containers, preferably already in them (as I don't have any containers). You wouldn't think English was my first language!
