Report - Garden center, near Diss, Norfolk, Nov 2021

[mingerocket]

Not much to say about this one really, I was staying in the area and this place was within walking distance of my accommodation so I thought I'd check it out.
I can't find any history at all on the place but can only imagine it's come to its demise due to larger garden centers in the area - this place really is in the arse end of no where.
Pretty relaxed mooch after taking the rear entry ;-)
killed half an hour and was a welcome break from the family. The lighting and atmosphere was good as the afternoon sun was out. Plenty of odds and sods around including the ubiquitous lonely chair and some plant life slowly reclaiming the place, little vandalism and no graff due to being miles from any built up civilisation.

Jusging from the huge pile of "racing post" newspapers dated 2004 I'm going to guess it ceased trading around about then



Here are the pics

You got some nice shots of this place. I popped in earlier in the year and surprised it was still there. I had visited about six years ago and they were talking about putting a few houses on it.

Nice one, had a quick stop off here a little while back. Interesting for what is essentially a collection of greenhouses.

Great shots man, i’m based in south norfolk and looking for a few places with greenhouses to do some shoots! How far from Diss are we talking and north or south?

I can't remember to be honest. Not far from memory, on the main road. I'm sure a quick search on Google will give its location away.

It’s just off the A1066, in Garboldisham near the Suffolk border. I remember going here to buy plants years ago.
