This isn’t the type of place I tend to go looking for plants. There’s something about the floral wellies and superfluous tat of your average garden centre that I find off-putting. Curious as to whether other gardening folk felt the same way, I asked my Instagram followers whether they sought out their plants in large garden centres like this one. Over 100 people responded, sharing a surprising depth and breadth of feeling about these places – from resolute disdain to sincere warmth and fondness.
