Top tips if you fancy a rave up at the garden centre this first weekend in March x

- Escaping to the garden centre, in this case Plantworld in Milton on Stour where they have 30% off all perennials and pots this weekend, was well worth the visit this morning. Join me and Nic choosing plants and then see how I turn an investment in fourteen pots of plants turn into sixty three individual plants (including the raspberries!) A good morning well spent I think.
If you're thinking of a trip to a garden centre this weekend do look out for good bargains. A small independent garden centre like Plantworld plant-world.co.uk/ is a great place to visit and for a small investment you may find you can end up with a lot more than you bargained for.

I love your channel ! I have enjoyed my working life as a florist and then a Plant Manager in a Garden Centre , now retired I really enjoy watching you , I love your style and you inspire me to fill my jam jars with all sorts of beautiful things from my garden , thank you so much
My pleasure and have a lovely afternoon xxx
Who needs to go out on a Friday night!!!!! when you can have a Rave up🎉 with Georgie at home with a glass of wine. Cheers hope you have a lovely weekend.
lol - cincin! X
I’m new to your channel but oh my I’m so glad that I found you😊You are very inspiring and talented also…ty
thank you x
What a great day!!😊
Yes it was! x
“Rave up at the garden center “ = Heaven Pure Joy❤
glad you agree x
I was able to split multiples from one pot last year. I was thrilled! I'll take a garden center outing and coffee with a friend any day over out for drinks!!! Who needs alcohol when you get a great high from plant shopping and being at a garden center!!! ❤
Great to hear , I feel the same! I'm 2+yrs a/f 😁👌
totally agree x
This is great. Plant mania! Consider what I do. I work about 3 days a week in nice gardens. I have a keen eye when it comes to weeding pathways etc. best to do this after a good rain with a little dog poo bag by your side. I would guesstimate about 25% of my farm has come from other people’s gardens and I got paid in the process! Not to mention all the free stock from clearing out a garden for a re-design… there is nothing like free produce because you will always remember where it came from and the people connected with it. Rave on!!!
brilliant xxx and so true! xxx #raversunite x
Found your videos just by chance and so glad I did .. inspring & informative.. not a natural gardener but will use your tips for sure
Welcome! x
@@theflowerfarmer if I was to grow 1 or 2 types of flowers to sell from my garden gate - what would you say would be the best 😊
Splendid! Always fun to get multiple plants from one pot and on sale - even better!
The best time had by all xxx
I relate completely, Georgie. I love nothing more than a nursery outing, with my daughter. I always feel like. " a kiddie in a sweetie" shop. Going soon. I got gift vouchers for my birthday in February. I am just waiting for it to cool down. I live on Garden Route South Africa.
woohoo! xxx
I absolutely love going on the field trip to the nursery Truly a kid in a candy shop. Thank you for sharing hope you have a blessed day 😊🌼 🌷
Thankyou x we did have a lovely trip x
I love the phase “have yourself a rave up”. I am ordering one this week for myself. Thank you.
go for it x
What a great idea! Thank you!
you're welcome x
Wonderful video Georgie. I'm definitely off to have a rave up in my local small garden centre! Can't wait xx
I agree with you that about the rave at the garden center while sober 😊. I also love a beverage while meandering around my gardens 😂
totes agree x
You’re a ray of sunshine I love your channel you have a great personality. Rave up at the garden Center love it but I’m with you on that one 😂❤️
Thank you so much!! x
I went to a local nursery for the first time today and had an absolute blast! Will definitely go back again and again 🤣
enjoy xxx
This is great advice. Will be waiting a little while in my area. At least, a couple of months before garden centres are open. But very fun watching your day out in the garden centre. Thanks again
it snowed in the night here so not feeling so springy now x
You look so impish in the thumbnail pic! Well done you-what a good haul! x
Well worth the trip x
Texas bluebonnets are lupines and charming in spring. They are also said to be good for the soil. Leaf structure is pretty too. Winner!
absolutely x
Really jealous of your lupines! I have no luck growing them.
I need to finish getting the beds prepped so I can plant them out x
Nice haul!! I'll have to keep an eye out for my garden nursery sale. Btw, I was hoping you were sober from your earlier statement . Best thing I did in my life! Alcohol does more damage then heart palpitations (stomach ulcers , acid reflux..) maybe you'll consider it someday , stay healthy and thx for the tip!🙂
I do love a glass of wine, but in my old age one is plenty xxx
And loved your tips. I'll always look out for pots of plants to divide, plus those on sale that I have a habit of getting.
go for it x
Im not ready to say bye to summer yet but workingbin a garden centre within a large retailer i will console mysekf buying helebores, roses( when they come in) and bulbs!!
go for it x
Total American here; I admit I had to Google “rave up”! 😂
lol - it's one of my mother's favourite sayings x
Rave up? I love your style and enthusiasm!!😅
Thankyou - rave up it a family term - is it not understandable? X
🥰
glad you enjoyed it x
I used to 🧡 visiting independent plant nurseries but here in Oz 🇦🇺 they are becoming less and less and one is left with Big Box Stores 😢 Hence in my early 70s I have turned to growing from seed (apparently you are never too old to learn) or mail order. A sad state of affairs 😢
it's great to grow from seed - so satisfying x
What a delightful video, hubby and myself love a good mooch around the garden centre we have some lovely ones here in south wales. Thank you so much for showing us how to split the plants to make more and i must admit my heart nearly leapt into my mouth when i saw you wielding the saw about but i should have known you know exactly what you are doing!! 3 guesses where we are off to this weekend!!!!!
Have a lovely time - a mooch around garden centre is always rewarding xx
Lovely! Always looking for a bargain at my local garden centre! It's worth the rummage!😊
It really is! X
Hah! Great Minds and Niche Thrills. I just finished a huge project and I am definitively going to my garden center tomorrow.. Whoa, even with the exchange rate, that's a screaming good deal. Especially those lupin!
woohoo! yes, I feel richer instead of poorer x
Love this video. A little too early for my zone 5 Indiana But won’t be long. I also always check the pots of more plants
there will be spring soon xxx
The first Lupin that you divided into ten, actually cost less than £5 as you had the discount. So 35p per lupin. That is a garden centre bargain. I'm still too tight to buy plants though 😂I have 30 lupins that I started from seed, (seeds from Wilko 70% off clearance) Seeds cost 60p. I do love a mooch around the garden centre, but my local one is £££ a fox glove will be £8.99🤯
I love doing the maths like that - yes total bargain of a day - I'm also notoriously mean except for the occasional rave up xxx luckily I live too far from Bond St for attempted bankrupting rave ups there xxx
Def most fun with your clothes on 😅
yes! x
I wanna rave .
woohoo! x
I bought a big deep burgundy hellebores ….. could I of split that ?
depends - if you looked at it and see separate plants in the pot you can pull them apart x
Just wondering can you split and plant straight into the ground or do they need to be potted up first? Thank you.
you can so long as you have nicely prepared space - just be careful in case the splittings are very small and so may be overwhelmed or lost x
Thank you so much. I'm thrilled that I now know this info. I have a small garden with no greenhouse, so growing everything from seed isn't an option for me. I can't believe all the money I've wasted over the years by not knowing this info.@@theflowerfarmer
sorry if this is a silly question but what medium are u repotting in - it does not look like u use any amendments. I am really new to this gardening stuff. Just started since retirement. Great videos - starting watching you for your wonderful floral arrangements. Thank you
Just plain general purpose peat free compost xxx
I believe most people who grow raspberry for foliage grow a thornless variety? Seems like a dangerous occupation harvesting those thorny stems!
lol - I've harvested raspberry foliage before from just ordinary raspberries we grew in the old veg patch before it was turned into the bulb beds and never thought it especially thorny. raspberry foliage to me feels like sort of rough velcro, like the stems of rosa Tuscany superb - we'll see - I hadn't planned to buy any raspberries - if they're a bore to cut we'll just eat the fruit and I'll do proper research next time before investing xxx
