Luvachicken Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Any one know the best place to get a topiary shape from for my Dad's 70th birthday. I saw a lovely one at a garden centre today shaped like a flower with a leaf - and it was really nice - but it cost a staggering 195 pounds. I was after something a bit more exciting than a ball or a spiral but don't know where to go. Any ideas would most welcome. Thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I can't think of an answer off the top of my head other than to try the Internet? You might find a specialist and get something really original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Have got really frustrated looking on the net. I can't find anything like I found at the garden centre. Things are either really expensive or just the usual cone, sphere or spiral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 eBay? That is my first place of looking for almost everything these days - or Amazon,maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I hope you do find something - its a really nice and unusual idea for a present And if you don't....gap in the market anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chookiehen Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Have you looked in local garden centres? My local garden centre sells smaller topiary cages, with the hedge within - not quite grown enough to be snipped to shape yet, but a project for the summers to come - I got one for my 79 year old father for his birthday earlier this year. They even had chicken and duck ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Oooo dear, have been really extravagant and went back to the garden centre to get the flower I have learnt from previous mistakes about not getting things when I see them, and I couldn't find anything else like it on the internet. But I'm going to split the price with my mum and my sister............now I just need to find him some snippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
