Our Philosophy – “Gardening for Everyone”
We firmly believe that Gardening is for everyone! That's right; you do not even need a garden to get growing. Many of our plants can be grown on balconies, small patios and decking, so you can catch the growing bug, and even grow your own freshest fruit and vegetables too.
We speak in plain English. Sometimes gardening can be a confusing maze of Latin names and strange words and can be confusing or off-putting - we simplify all and remove all the jargon and give you down to earth advice on what to grow – and how!
We will show you how to get success from our products through our videos and care instructions. We have only chosen plants that are easy to grow and will give successful results with a minimum of experience. From the thousands of plants available, we have picked those that really work and perform. We have done the sifting and choosing for you, to bring you the best.
Our Nursery
We're lucky enough to have our very own nursery over here in rural Lincolnshire, spanning across 11 acres, fully owned, with a brand-new purpose-built packhouse part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
Having our own nursery means we are constantly in close contact with our plants and we even grow some of our own, or pot on smaller plants to give them time to establish before becoming available to buy. This means we can guarantee your plants will thrive because we've grown them ourselves! We also source product locally, nationally and internationally to ensure we give our customers the best range, highest quality and greatest value for money.
We have a highly experienced, talented and busy team over at the nursery who are busy packing and preparing for over half a million individual parcels this year – over 20,000 per week during our peak seasons! They'll insert Care Instructions with every live plant order including tips and tricks for best results. They'll then stamp your package with courier instructions to take care when handling and send it on its way to you in nursery fresh condition.
