    Wow this garden center is huge but then again the garden centers in Europe are huge. I love visiting the garden centers here and even the small ones are very much larger than those back home.

    Brigg garden center is in North Lincolnshire, UK. They seems to have something for everyone and even a playground for the kids.

    I would dearly love to wander through that garden center with you and Becky! So much to see, so much to admire, and SO MUCH to covet:drool:. Thank you for sharing, and I'll probably get over a severe case of envy in a day or two . . . .

    I think large garden centres should come with warning at the door for gardeners, "Warning: Bring a packed lunch, you could be here all day." :)
    Great photos KK.

    We have been to very large ones also. Frank, we usually do bring lunch and wet cloths to wash down a bit with. We love to take our time in those places. We also love love love to visit the "mom and pop" garden centers along the back country roads. They are the best....You can find such great plants in those hidden places....

    Thanks Frank, maybe they should have a picnic area or BBQ grill testing area with lots of sample BBQ food! :D

    We had a heavy lunch before we came Barb, yes with so many things to see time sure flies.:)

    I can say that again Cayuga Morning, Wow!!!

    I would love to be able to visit a garden center so nice but it's probably best for our budget that there isn't anything in our area remotely as nice!

    Ah yes. That does look like a place one could loose ones self in for more than a day. Like 2ofus said-it is a good thing we do not have one around us. As the budget would only allow window shopping. :( So many idea and so little $$$$$.
