Isn’t Christmas at the garden center brilliant.
Just sort of puts you in the mood for turkey and stuffing, (nut roast if you’re vegetarian I guess), and of course a mince pie! Don’t you just love Christmas time at the garden center!
There’s so much choice, trees, of course, ornaments, tinsel, and loads of tree toppers. There’s christmas cards for about anyone you can think of, all beautifully designed. Christmas crackers of varying designs, and loads and loads of Christmas fairy lights. Think I might become bankrupt in here if I stay too long! Guess that’s why the Christmas music is playing, it’s so persuasive!
There’s a gift section, with the usual tins of biscuits, scarfs and gloves, and they have the daft stuff the kids give to dad. (You know, the book of dad jokes and the like!).
A Welcome Break
The coffee shop offers a welcome break, and gives the old plates of meat, (feet to us northerns), a few minutes of grateful rest. Nice pot of tea and browse through my Christmas lists for 20 minutes, before pushing on. I’m currently on my 12 week Christmas Challenge. I don’t have much weight to lose, so just trimming up and dropping a few extra pounds before the big day arrives. So as much as I really want a mince pie, I’m being good… Honestly!
But back to task, it’s the bulbs section I’m after, no not Christmas bulbs, as tempting as they are, its the planting kind I’m after, tulips in particular. Oh and a few muscari, well I thought why not try them this year.
Bulbs sorted, and at a bargain price with 50% off, reward for planting slightly later than usual. (must remember this for next year).
A final look around the outdoor plants, again there might be extra bargains to be had. Unfortunately not, but got a few new ideas which I may follow up later.
Final perusal of the Christmas stuff and time to head home before the rush hour starts. All in all, enjoyable couple of hours downtime, tasks accomplished and a nice pot of tea.
Now I’m getting excited about spring season and seeing my new tulips in all their glory, oh and Christmas if course.
All in all, Christmas at the garden center, is looking brilliant as usual…!
