    Default 'Mind Your Own Business!'

    I'd like to get a pot of the houseplant Soleirolia soleirolii. Another more common name is 'Baby's Tears'. Would any Garden Centre Wick/Thurso general area have this does anyone know?
    This is for an elderly neighbour.

    Thanks,

    James.

    PS - Looks like this -

    I had a look round Thurso today but couldn't see any. It's a lovely plant, lots of them together make a lovely carpet. I'm pretty sure Homebase don't have it either. Maybe Castletown or Shinvall?

    Thanks sweetpea, I tried Homebase. Have since heard there's another centre in Wick but not sure where yet. Where's Shinvall?

    Shinvall is out at Glengolly, about a mile up the road past the houses. I'm not sure if Pulteneytown Centre is still open or not in Wick, might be worth a look? good luck finding it!

    Cheers. I'd tried Castletown as well. Where's Pulteneytown Centre supposed to be then? I believe they have a sale on.

    It's Old Wick Road, entrance is in between council houses opposite the playing fields of south school. Sorry but my directions are hopeless. There is a sign though. It's as if your going towards Kennedy and Cairndhuna.
