Keep in mind 

Although the toxicity of these plants is minimal and fine to have around pets, any plant consumed in large quantities can be harmful. We advise to keep plants in rooms where the pet is perhaps not allowed or out of reach on a worktop or shelf. A great way to still have plants in the rooms you want them is to use pot stands. They are highly fashionable and on trend, you'll certainly be able to find one that suits your decor and it raises your houseplants up out of the way! 

 

If your pet has consumed a plant that you're unsure the toxicity of, you can contact the Animal Poison Line 24/7. Their contact number is 01202 509000 or you can also visit the HTA website  www.hta.org.uk/poisonousplants

With a beautiful weekend forecasted we asked the plant team to pick their favourite plant available right now, they felt it was like being asked to choose their favourite child…..but they did anyway!
Louise chose a hardy gerbera (but snuck in a Bella fuchsia as well when I wasn’t looking), Lorna chose a beautiful Lilac. Tam is obviously staying in with her amazing three stemmed orchid. Kaye, went for 2 hydrangeas and Elaine went big with her cercis tree.
They all look wonderful, and the plants don’t look bad either.
Homegrown 14” hanging baskets are now in stock!⁠
⁠
We have a wide selection of colour schemes for you to choose from, perfect for any garden. Both plants and baskets are grown and made at our nursery. ⁠
⁠
You can hang these in the garden from now, though be sure to secure them properly in windy weather!
Congratulations to our amazingly artistic winners of the Viola and Pansy Colouring Competition. We look forward to welcoming them back soon to spend their vouchers.
Touch me.......Smell me!

Our Award Winning Home Grown Scented Geraniums are now in stock, they may not look the most colourful plant, but give them a rub next time you pass and you will get an amazing selection of scents.
To attract attention to these amazing plants Jess from our nursery designed these beautiful perfume bottle labels and won an award at the HTA National Plant Show for her designs.
Wow, It looks like it isn't going to rain this weekend! Perfect time to get gardening.
Our nursery is incredibly busy producing plants for the whole country, but don't worry, we’re saving the best for you
