    Can anyone recommend a good garden centre anywhere near Cork City? (preferably with 30 mins of the city)
    Looking for quite a lot of shrubs to plant an area so need somewhere with a decent selection and also somewhere that can offer good advice if possible.
    Not really interested in places like Woodies or B&Q as they don't have a very good selection of the type of shrubs I need.
    Thanks.

    Hanleys is good for various things but from what I remember of it, it is no good for its selection of plants. Or I may be totally wrong about that. I'll be there tomorrow for something else so will check it out.
