From tools tried and tested by our teams that will serve their owners for a lifetime, to the plants that will share joy into spring, and the workshops that provide skills that keep giving.

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! You’ll also see where our Horticulture students learn, our social and therapeutic horticulture groups meet, and our volunteers share skills - alongside our greenhouses, wildlife areas, and biodiverse ponds. All your purchases will keep the garden growing and support our charitable work for the community.
