Take a seat – 20% off

My sister and I went to the garden centre with a couple of small specific items in mind. I came home with a new garden seat. (A slight exaggeration; my sister and my nephew collected the seat later in their trailer and delivered it to my house.)

My specific item was some potting mix to re-pot two anthuriums which were looking a bit tired. I took photos of them to show the garden centre experts in case they had some advice.

As we walked in I noticed large signs advertising 20% off everything in store. I eventually found my potting mix and a pack of lettuce plants as well. Then my sister met someone she knew and began a long conversation. This gave me time to look around. That’s how I found the seat. It’s been in the back of my mind to look for a new garden seat as the old one has begun to fall apart. Added to my existing patio furniture, the new seat creates a friendly, conversational vibe.

As for re-potting of the anthuriums, it turns out I didn’t read the instructions closely enough. Pots of at least 200mm are required, it seems. Sounds like another trip to the garden centre. Yippee!
