Explore the guide below, click through to our shop to buy online for local delivery or click and collect, or visit us any time to explore - and get specific insight from our expert team of gardeners, including bespoke container planting options.
Our range of plants continues to grow and evolve, and our team are still putting together beautiful, one-of-a-kind displays in unique, found, and repurposed planters, so we encourage you to visit!
