I will be there selling plants as usual, but this year they won't be mine but a passed away branch members.
There will be some very good plants at good prices to clear his collection on the day, see you there :wink:

Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Slightly off topic, but what a poor idea to block simple right click copying from a website (was just going to check the exact location of the mart).

Parking is very limited on the site ... but at the weekend the parking across the road outside the shopping mall (Tesco et al) is usually good and last time I looked during Saturday daytime was not time limited. There is other parking nearby too.

There is parking right next door in free public car park. No need to cross the road with your tray of new plants. :smile:
