This is still our one stop shop for organics. However our latest experience was not fabulous.
We bought all of our beautiful organic produce and staff were very helpful, especially when they helped us to find something. Register staff were great, so we have absolutely no complaints about our experience in the marketplace. It changed when we went to the garden centre. My elderly mother in law wanted a fern.
