Peppermint

Where can I buy peppermint plant in cork city.
I have no luck finding it : (
Found it only online on johnstown garden centre online site.
Can't post link to it here because I'm a new user , a little bit stupid but ok.

Anyway is 3 euro for plant and 5 euro shipping is ridiculous, I rather buy it in shop. Dosen't need to be in Cork city it can be somewhere near it. Cork city would be preferable ofc : )

This place is in West Cork

I've seen this site but didn't find how can I order it online. Also I rather buy it irl in store then buying it online because don't realy trust online shoping for plants. They can get damaged in trasport or get out of water an so on....

You can grow it from seed which can be bought in popular branded packs in your local garden centre (or even in Lidl, in the Spring). Be careful to grow it in either a free-standing container or if you want to grow it in the ground, do so in a container buried in the ground, otherwise it spreads everywhere. A biscuit tin is a popular choice for this.

I bought seed from organic centre it's pretty expensive for that little seed. I got it just today.
Wanna plant it in room because I bought it cuz I heard that it's got against spiders.

Whenever I tried to grow Basil in house/conservatory, it soon faded away and died, due to infestation with aphids. Chestnuts are the accepted material for banishing spiders. Google will probably advise how best to use them, as I imagine conkers on strings, pinned up in odd corners of rooms is probably not the best home decor trend:). Now is a good time of the year to collect them.

They're free! Go out to a public park with a short stick weighing a kilo or so, and do the same as the small boys who are throwing sticks up into chestnut trees right now.
