For my next post in our lovely community this Friday for the #MarketFriday by @dswigle - Denise. I will take you along to a local garden centre in sunny southern Spain 🇪🇸 ☀️

‼️If you want to know more about #MarketFriday’s have a look At this post about it: Market Friday goes House Hunting! from @dswigle you find also the rules what to post.

I visited this garden centre not that long ago on 28 May 2022. All photographs are taken with my iPhone.

I needed to get a mint plant 🪴 for it’s leaves to use in salads, sauces and let’s not forget to make mojitos 🍹 as I’m a rum kind of girl 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻😎 hahaha

As we enter we see the large building and all the goodies it houses. 🥰 This is like a candy store for me 😁😋😉 So I need to restrain myself and don’t buy it all hahaha 😜

Long rows with accessories like plant pots.

Everywhere around us.

I shall take closer looks at interesting finds for you, like this terrarium for plants.

You put soil in there, certain plants and close it up after some water… it does create it’s own ecosystem and can get pretty old like that.

This candle caught my eye… not because I thought oh what pretty, but look at that price 😳 €314,50 euros… nope wouldn’t buy a candle for the garden in that amount. 🤓

Further we find cute insect houses. They look pretty decent.
