Have you seen their online site? I don't have a store near me and I've used their website before.
I've also used Figleaf once. I think the Evans ones are rubbish and designed by a woman who is a 32AA!!

Anybody know a book or website that will give me ideas to re-design our garden.....purely in a frugal way
I spent all day outside. First day for weeks that I could hang washing out.
Chopped back a load of shrubs that are genetically related to Triffids I swear.
Barrowed soil to the new veg plot to start filling my raised beds. Had to keep chasing cats off the nice fresh compost.
Found a pair of secateurs I had "lost" last autumn :j
But I really really need to do something with the "posh" bit of the garden where the field/lawn is. Its too big and unmanageable. I don't want more veg beds as I really haven't the time and OH doesn't like vegs much. I would like some raised beds to put flowers in so looking for cheap wood. I would also like to be able to sit outside in the summer without the perennial midge problem.
Not asking for much am I0 -
Janey have you tried looking in the library for garden design books ? Or look on Amazon and then try and order any that sound interesting from the library.Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0

Wish I could have a few more NSDs - I blame the milk! :rolleyes: And the cost of electricity. And the price of cheese. Maybe I'll try Freeganism instead of Frugalism - except I'm not a vegan. :rotfl: Janey, are you having a holiday this year?
Back again, just spotted your post about the garden... you could contact local colleges and ask if they do landscape gardening courses - then ask if they have any local students who may like a project to add to their future portfolios.I reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.

I own three bra's, not bought a new one in past 18 months, as I hate padded bra's and all the 32a's i find tend to be padded. Black one desperately needs replacing, but yet to find one that I am willing to pay the cost for that isn't padded. Think I will stick to DD's theory of vests are better, cause they keep more of your body warm.19th March 2007 LBM£5,969.63 1st January 2018 £5960.18, 1st January 2019 £11,032.0018th August 2023 £12,435.00, Student Loan £22244.00 From 2009-12Challenges: To learn to stop spending..0 -
