Did You Know?

 


84% of the hardy garden plants, 94% of the bedding plants & 99% of our vegetable plants,herbs and fruit, are grown on British Nurseries? - thus reducing travel miles. 


By supporting British nurseries we are also providing our customers with plants which are ideal for your garden, as they are grown in British weather conditions - so they are use to our rain, wind and hail!
