Hi all 👋🏻
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.
But for €21,50 euros… I make them myself. More fun anyways 😁 I like to work with wood and create furniture and things like this.
Next I find these cute bird houses.
Yes, I could buy some… just not now. They ranged around €29,95 euros
A large vase… more an ornament and decoration. It towered high above me out… ok Ok… I know, I’m not that tall hahaha so that’s easy. I’m 1.62m 🤓😎
Next I arrive at the orchid section… they are so beautiful.
Small intricate orchids…
And much bigger ones…
This Phalaenopsis Mixtos was €27,50 euros
This one was €19,50 euros… most orchids ranged around these 2 prices.
More orchids.
As we walk further we see a water fountain in this garden centre.
Little detail 😁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Look Denise: we were talking about lavender the other day.
The price for dried lavender around here: €45,80 euros, that’s about $48,03 dollars 💵 and this wasn’t a big bouquet either.
More dried wheat/ flowers, for €16,95 euros, they also come in coloured versions 🌈
We reach now another accessory section with candles.
Silk flowers… fake flowers section.
Cute cactus accessories…
Some artworks in metal and glass and ceramic.
Look at that happy face 😁
Little baskets paper woven for small plant pots or other things. From €26,- euros onwards. 14x7 and 17x8 cm set of 2.
Little sculptures 🥰
€28,95 euros
A placemat for €7,75 euros. Looks sturdy…
Now we reach the next covered hall. With fresh flowers for inside.
The colours jump right at you.
These Catharanthus roseus cost €5,50 euros.
We see a lot of hibiscus 🌺 cost €6,95 euros at the moment.
These Campanula Percifolia takion cost €4,95 euros
Next an area with cactus 🌵
They come in all price ranges from €1,- to the biggest ones over € hundreds of euros.
This next one is €5,95 euros 12 cm pot.
Also herbs we find now… sage for €1,- euro small pot.
We are in the area I need to be… for the mint plant 🪴
I find these butternut plants for €2,50 euros

A wider view around for you.
We see small flowers and large trees. Fruit trees too if you look closely, do you spot the lemons 🍋
Palm trees and olive trees and everything in between 🌴🌳🪴
Beautiful grasses that maintain their colour in the garden. Love these…
More beautiful flowers in all kind of different colours and shades.
Here we see these Gazanias for €8,95 euros
Look what I found now 🥰🪴
Flowers that do attract insects, like butterflies 🦋
And this bee 🐝 plant 🐝🥰
Love to help our little helpers 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 as I love BEES. They are soooo important for our survival.
When I get a garden again, I will help them with all kinds of yummy plants 🪴 🌺🐝🦋🌸🌼🌻
Next we see these Bracteantha bracteata plants for €12,95 euros
Hanging plants are also found out here.
Like these Fuchia plants for around €13,50 euros

Now on my way out to the checkout.
I pass these inside plants.
And these Hydrangea for €14,95
Ooooo it is so hard not to walk out with much much more… but with our move this year. I can’t take plants, so it is better not to buy more… 😁😎 I already need to sell and give away the ones I already have.
The bill:
One mint plant 🪴 for €4,95 euros 🤓🪴
