So, next time you’re in Stoke-on-Trent or roaming the Staffordshire countryside, don’t ignore the garden centre. It’s not just a shop. It’s a portal to a better, muddier, scone-filled life. You will spend money. You will buy a trowel you don’t need. And you will, against all odds, feel hopeful about your back garden.
Just remember: the chicken is optional. The giant scone is not. Go forth and mulch.
