Sat 05 May 2007Treasure troveYou need to look beyond the DIY store for rare and special plants, writes Jane PowersWhere does one buy plants? Obviously, the handiest place to get them is at the garden centre, or in the supermarket, or at the DIY store. There you will find fine, healthy plants that will nicely fill up the spaces in your garden. But let me be honest here: if you stick to the above outlets you're going to be missing out on an awful lot of interesting things to grow. It's a bit like buying all your wine and cheese and other edibles in the supermarket: it will all be grand stuff, but you'll rarely come across the specialities made by artisan producers, often in small batches and by hand.
