poundshop chic







Wow. I must write a few words about the poundshop. I went in the other day as i saw some hanging baskets in the window. When i went inside and upstairs i found a whole floor dedicated to gardening. There were lots of bare root plants. Lots of big pots(some a little tacky),little coloured enameled lanterns,bulbs and seeds,stepping stones made from polished pebbles and allsorts of ornaments and things.
I bought two big plastic terracotta pots,a Philidelphus mock orange and a variety of bare root roses and some lovely bits and bobs. All in all a real bargain. But most of all i got some lovely things. I know i could have spent at least a fiver on each hanging basket elsewhere.
I already bought roses from them about three years ago for my mum and although she is got the touch with plants it is still alive and does ok in mums mostly shady yard by the sea. I have tried to research into where they get the roses from. But no joy.
If you are in brighton, try western road poundshop that's where i went. brilliant!
