Earthquake in Cottingham

Around 1am and the bed started shaking, was it WWIII, poltergeist, no it was an earthquake in Cottingham felt from Newcastle down to London!!

The British Geological Survey (BGS) said magnitude of 5.3 and the epicentre was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire.

Will have to see if the greenhouses are alright this morning. Hope everyone else is OK, saw one chimney pot that had fallen over this morning.

We are trying out a forum to see if there is any interest for a local garden forum and for a bit of fun. If you'd like to register it's totally free and you can start posting straight away with gardening problems and we can hopefully try and help.

Discount Plants Garden Forum

Remember we have a great selection of trees and nursery stock. New stock in today and great value bulbs and corms at £1 a packet.

We have our own new website on line from this Friday evening at:Discount Plants Garden Centre Park Lane Cottingham

We are very pleased to be added to the Grand Designs website at:
Grand Designs Live London 2008

This is a real compliment and hope the exhibition goes well as we are all fans of the Grand Designs show at Discount Plants in Cottingham and wish you success.

Rather dark day in Cottingham today but the temperature has risen and gardens have certainly sprang back quickly from the frosty blanket over the last few days.

Discount Plants Garden Centre is one of Cottinghams best kept secrets. People who have lived in the village all their lives come up to me and say I never knew there was a garden centre here. My family have only owned the current site since the 1970's so I think hiding the garden centre down Park Lane is working. We are a covert organisation bringing cheap plants and gardening equipment to the populous but don't tell anyone. The password if you make it down Park Lane is "I don't believe how you can sell plants so cheap" to which the reply will be utter surprise at seeing a new face amongst the flowers and shrubs. If you feel like an adventure this weekend try and find us you maybe surprised at what you find!
