We grow many varieties of plants:

Perennials: From Pulmonarias and Hellebores in the spring to Schizostylis in late winter, a good selection from this group will provide your garden with flower for most of the year. Most but not all

loose their foliage in the winter; the bare stems or old flower-heads of Sedums look attractive with a coating of frost on the coldest days. The plants are generally fast growing, easily moved if you put them in the wrong place and many of

them can be split in the spring to make your own new plants!

Shrubs: Form the main framework of a garden and can provide colour with flowers, foliage or bark throughout the year. They need choosing with care to ensure they fit the space allotted to them. Many of the new varieties have been bred to grow much smaller and need the minimum of pruning.

Climbers: Not just for covering walls, but old trees, obelisks or simple pillars, climbers grow faster then anything else. There aren’t many evergreen climbers: honeysuckles begin to burst into leaf in January and what some lack in winter

Vegetables. There is a real interest now in growing your own. This is because you can’t beat the taste of your own home grown veg and vegetables are easy to grow. From pots on patios to vegetable plots - we grow the plants that will suit any of these situations.

We have a wide range of tomatoes - from cherry tomatoes that can be grown in pots, to standard cordon and bush varieties suitable for garden or greenhouse. As well as our established favourites, we are growing some unusual varieties and new for this year is ‘Tumbling Tom Red’ - a tomato that you can grow in a hanging basket!
We also have a great range of peppers - from mild bell peppers to the small, fiery-hot ones.

We grow a selection of young plants for the vegetable patch, such as lettuce, beans and cabbage. They are grown as 6 plants in a container and are easy to just take out of the container and plant into the garden. You can select as many as you wish to suit your garden size. Just plant them and watch them grow!

Herbs: A useful outdoor range is grown, most with culinary use but also Lavenders, Cotton Lavender and Curry Plant to name a few.  Come summer, a range of Basils, and Coriander appear.

Alpines: We sell a basic unspecialised range which fulfills most needs for pots and troughs. Other low growing plants for borders and trailing over walls etc. can be found in the perennials.

Grasses are becoming ever more popular in the garden. We sell some bamboos and a good range of grasses. Our grasses that we grew in smaller pots were especially popular last year and we did a great offer - 4 plants for £10. People tended to choose 4 different varieties for a good price to try a little mix and match in the garden!

Succulents are excellent for planting in terracotta pots. They make a great impact and do not require constant watering. The terracotta helps the plant to drain effectively. They look especially good in seaside gardens.

Some really spectacular succulents include the amazing multi-headed Aeonium and the spiky-leaved Agave. We also have many other different and unusual succulents - in all shapes and sizes. Are you looking for something different? Then why not try Kalanchoe ‘Bronze Sculpture’. A fantastically shaped plant with huge spoon-shape leaves, flushed smoky-purple and grey-green. It will look great in a pot.
