Fletchers Garden Centre

[daitheplant]

Just curious, but, has anyone else visited or heard of Fletchers Garden Services in Marshfield, Newport?

Never heard of it, but I remember going to a garden centre somewhere between Newport and Cardiff many years ago. It was along the A48 near Castleton I think, and we were on route to somewhere I can't remember now (and I nor late partner could pass a garden centre without calling in !).

It was very good but I can't remember its name. It wasn't Wyevale, it seemed to be privately owned. Maybe it isn't there now, it was many years ago when we went, and since it was so far from here and we were only passing that day anyway, we never went again.

is it gardening services or a garden centre? I did go to a gc outside Newport [South Wales I am assuming as we have a Newport in E Yorks].

It was a gardencentre, though the name was actually Fletcher Garden Services. This was because, if I remember rightly, Paul Fletcher started selling fence panels from his parents` garden. Forgot to say, the centre was actually known worldwide.

according to my daughter that was indeed the one we went too. I got a hellebore and a rose apparently. Both still doing well.

Glad the plants are doing well. Did you meet any of the plant staff?

just the one on the till but have no recollections of if they were male or female. Must have been pleasant as I remember the rude ones.
