Maybe you could do some pro-blogging for Cedar Nursery?
I have known the company for many as years, as I have lived just 8-10 miles away from them for all of my life, to date.
They have a fairly good reputation locally, although I have only seen them from a suppliers point of view, and from what I have heard from local Landscapers. Their reputation is perhaps not as good as The Plantation, Evergreen and Pantiles, if I were buying for my own garden, I would probably do so in that order, putting to your current employer last for Specimen plants, sorry...
Do they still use local suppliers, or everything imported? I used to deal with Andy, (not you) the other one?
To give you a bit of history, Cedar took over the Daily Mail part of HCFS, after my previous employers, Pantiles, gave it up. We knew it was sort of on the cards then that the Mail would pull out, perhaps that is why Pantiles stopped?
Happy to give you a lot more off the record infomation about Cedar, and obviously not that others can read.
Agree with you about Bedding plants, why???
Ironically, we are moving out of Surrey on 28th June, so next week will be a bit manic for us packing, and all that involves. Guess you guys had all of that recently, so you know what it is all about.
All the best for the future.

Andy's still there at the Nursery and is on here somewhere as well (I need to go through the members' list and find him now I come to think of it...). I really like the atmosphere at Cedar Nursery as there are opportunities to do more exciting things than just sell a range of uninspiring plants in an unimaginitive way. Let me make it clear that I'm not singling out any garden centres (certainly not in the Surrey area - I don't know that many!) but there are some which I've visited across the UK which fall into the cliché of doing dreadful plants in a dreary way. I think we put things together a bit more thoughtfully which is quite a refreshing approach.
Anyway, I'm in danger of sounding like I've been indoctrinated into some sort of cult, so I'd better stop where I am for the moment. Healthy dose of cynicism and all that...
I only deal with Capital Gardens at Morden Hall and Priory Farm Plant Centre in Surrey at the moment. I sell a fair bit direct off the net to people in Surrey and I would guess it is a good area for a garden centre to be located in.
