Plants, hanging baskets & vegetables

During the summer months we supply ready-to-hang baskets or just the plants to refill your own.

We also have a range of flowers, shrubs, specialist compost and seasonal fruit and vegetables for collection or delivery. Next year we are hoping to add to the range of vegetables we supply and are cultivating herbs and spices to liven up your meals.

Visit the polytunnels area of the garden to see what's on offer - what's available will vary due to seasonality.
