    Soft Fruit in North Lincs

    I'm looking for some help from those who dwell in North Lincolnshire. Having transplanted here in 2016 it has come time to get some fruit into the plot. However, I can't seem to find any local nurseries or suppliers other than the 'more shoes and hats than plants' garden centres that proliferate nowadays.

    I want a decent choice and well kept stock, and I'd rather buy local than on line, but I'm drawing a blank and it's getting late!

    Thanks in advance...

    What sort of soft fruit are you wanting Pete. It won't be long before the likes of L1dl, Ald1, £Stretcher etc get the trees & bushes in..........cheap as chips and decent quality IMO.

      Ignore my post Pete, I've just seen your blog so would imagine you are after more mature trees............

        Sorry Pete
        I cannot help with local but try Blackmoor, excellent quality.

        Brilliant blog, Thank You.

          Where in North Lincs, when I go searching for nurseries I get a number that appear in that area. Just going to google maps and entering "garden centres" shows 15 to 20 from Scunthorpe to Grimsby and south to Market Rasen.
