    Are there any good online garden centres/stores that sell plants online?
    My mum is ill and can't go out much at all right now but I know she'd love to buy some flowers for the garden herself rather then have someone else decide what to get.
    Anyone have any experience or names of gardening stores online?

    A friend of mine has set up an online garden center. It's excellent. He's a garden designer and his wife is a horticulturist so between them they've put all there knowledge into designing this site, with heaps of info, and planting schemes which are all well suited to growing in Ireland. He delivers too, I think it's free anywhere in the country with orders over 50e. Oh - the site is www.dyg.ie

    check it out!!

    it is photo shopped to the last imo, i tried them some years ago, i did not go back.
    me thinks it is best to see in the flesh what is being bought, what it looks like, your eyes and judgement are at their best, when viewing the raw material,
    it is most likely that what you see online or on a catalouge will differ from what in your eyes from what you will get,
    the garden centre and the boot sale are what you get, not what you expect to get.

    www.dyg.ie is only a small business and he hand picks the plants from his suppliers, so you know they'll be great quality!! I know you'll only have my word for it , but trust me - you'll be delighted!!
