Succulents

We have a varied collection of succulents, some unusual and we are collecting more. Choose from our arrangements or make your own. We have pots of all shapes and sizes, then just choose your plants. We also have small bags of our own mix of compost for planting.

Compost & Containers

We stock a selection of growing media including multi-purpose compost, peat free compost, ericaceous compost and bags of manure compost.

There is a wide variety of containers for planting up, including ceramic, glazed and terracotta pots. We also have a range of lightweight fibreglass containers.

This year we have had a delivery of Frost Proof terracotta pots.

Hanging Baskets

Bring your hanging baskets & containers & we will plant them in the colour scheme of your choice. We have sample baskets to give you inspiration or just buy the one you like.

Ideally, bring the baskets in April for summer planting and October for winter baskets. Don’t worry if it is later, we can still make a good display.

Bonsai landscape & Miniature gardens

Bonsai - "The art of growing dwarfed, ornamentally shaped trees or shrubs in small shallow pots and trays"

From making "miniature gardens" as a youngster, with a saucer, stones, flowers and using mirrors for ponds I progressed to using real plants and beautiful agate slices of all colours for the ponds.

Each pot or saucer is a "little world" which develops in the same way as the Japanese bonsai. The plants and trees adapt to their world and grow in much the same way as a full sized landscape. As in your proper garden weeds can grow so pull them out in the same way.

If the tree starts to go leggy you can pinch out the growing tip to make the shape you want.

Care: The garden can be kept inside or outside. It needs good light but not full sun in the heat of the day as it will dry out quickly. Spraying is good but does not replace watering properly.

It needs to be kept well watered but not overwatered. You soon work out the weight of your garden when it is just enough.

If it dries out the water can just run off and go down the sides. You need to plunge it in a bowl of water and leave until the bubbles stop and the water soaks in. Do not leave it in there for more than a couple of hours.
