Since the end of the last Millennium, we've worked with the best British and Dutch wholesale growers to get you great deals on Dahlia Tubers and Flower Bulbs.

We grow some popular annual Bedding Flowers and herbaceous Perennial Plants to pad out your borders and containers.

A selection of our very best plants are available gift wrapped for any occasion.

How we make it easy

Mail Order Plants to Your Door

We are the only plant nursery we know where you can:

  • Order trees & hedging in so many varieties & sizes, with some nice flowers & bulbs to go with them
  • Book them months in advance of their planting seasons
  • Pay nothing until they're sent
  • Have them delivered almost anywhere on mainland Great Britain and Isle of Wight

Delivery costs are typically less than £10 for hedge plants, or around £25 if big trees are in the order.

Your basket will calculate the final amount after you enter your delivery address.

  • You should smile to see your undamaged plants arrive. We use some protective packaging to get that right: it's almost all recycled. 
  • We use 24-hour couriers when your order is ready to give you "garden centre fresh" plants.
  • Note that 24-hour courier does not mean next day delivery after ordering! We batch orders to save you money, and can't offer express delivery like Amazon (we are working on it). 
  • We're not a garden centre, you can't come for a look around or a coffee, only collect orders paid for online.
    All we, meaning Rodney, do every day is pack mail order plants securely, organised into batches to get the best value from the next day courier companies who deliver them. This keeps our costs, and our prices, low.

Perfect for Spring Planting

Climbing plants are the icing on the cake of practically any garden design, and the smaller the garden, the more precious the vertical space is, especially if you are stuck looking at the back of a fence, or have something else to hide!

Fruit Trees & Bushes

Grow Fruit in Any Garden?

Grow Fruit in Any Garden?

Maybe Not, But We Try To Help!

Growing your own fruit trees and berry bushes is not exactly low maintenance gardening, but the returns on your efforts are well worth it.

In a cosy city garden, perhaps with little sun and busy kids, there might be no space for a planter of small fruit bushes, never mind trees.

But to everyone who has even thought about growing fruit, we say "yes, do it, even if you're renting; ask your landlady first."

Cottage Garden

Cottage Garden

Cottage Garden

Evoke the warmth and whimsy of an old-world countryside home, even in the heart of a city. 

Cottage gardens are about informal design and dense planting with loads of flowers. Roses, self-seeding perennials, and colourful shrubs like Lavender jumble together in a charming, picturesque style, with plants tumbling over pathways and edible treats tucked among the flower display.

A cottage garden is a welcoming haven of colour, fragrance, and life that invites butterflies, bees, and birds: a timeless place to connect with nature and cultivate joy.

Formal Garden

Formal Garden

Formal Garden

A formal garden is a meticulously organized design, characterized by geometric layouts, symmetry, straight lines and perfect circles, with lots of neatly clipped evergreens.

Classic formal hedges include box, yew, holly, laurel, and beech; with topiary bays, pleached trees, and no nonsense roses like Trumpeter to add colour. 

Formal gardens require maintenance, especially lawnmowing at least twice a month in Summer, and shrub clipping about twice a year. A serene, lush environment to frame lawns and to backdrop exciting flower beds.  

Food Forest

Food Forest

Food forests, polyculture orchards, and grocery row gardening are permaculture inspired ways of growing a diverse mix of edible plants in one area, making efficient use of your space while reducing disease and supporting wildlife.

You could have a mixed orchard of different fruit trees with berry bushes around the base, growing annual and perennial herbs and vegetables in the alleys between the trees, which can support vines when they are mature.
If you have space, mix with support plants that fix nitrogen, such as thornless Gleditsia, or coppiced common Alder.
