Thank you for advise & mail order plants

This question was asked by
Lucy H

Just wanted to say thank you. I was looking for a heuchera at Hampton Court flower show this year and found your stand. The plant I bought with your advise was so perfect for it’s spot and has flourished so I ordered more online. I was a little worried by the postage cost but the 5 plants arrived in such a perfect and happy state I had no need to question it.
They are all now in position and looking fantastic.
Thank you so much and I look forward to ordering from you again next year.

RHS Malvern Autumn Show 2017

We’ve finished with our last show of the season, RHS Malvern Autumn show, and now it’s all planning what to do for next years shows!

As you can see from our first couple of photos, we always have quite a lot to put into our display, we grow our plants bigger than normal sometimes, and make sure to bring plenty of moss and dirt to make everything look really clean. We also try to add interesting elements like our wooden pieces shown.

Happily we took home a gold, completing another golden year!

Heuchera Forever Purple 

Just because the shows are over doesn’t mean we are done! There’s still lots of work to do around the nursery, potting, packing orders and figuring out which plant combinations to use for next years shows. This weekend we have our open days as well! We look forward to seeing anyone who is coming out.

Harrogate Autumn Flower Show 2017

The Harrogate Autumn flower show was just as spectacular as we knew it would be, with lots of magnificent colours all over the show grounds. An added excitement for us was that we got a new bit of silver to add to our collection with ‘best in show’! As you can see below we were quite happy with this result. I know we’ve said it before, but it’s truly a great thing to have your hard work recognised!

Here’s a few photos of our own set up as well as some from around the show grounds.

Giving a chat about ourselves and the show on BBC radio, and below all the lovely people who came to hear my talk about gardening tips. It’s great to see so many smiling enthusiastic gardeners!

Of course it wouldn’t be Harrogate Autumn show without some giant veg! I know how difficult it is to grow plants nice and big and healthy, so can only imagine the care that goes into growing such massive and stunning vegetables. It’s always such fun to see.

Our last show of the season is this week, September 23rd at Malvern, and then it’s our open days September 29th-October 1st. Then it’s all about looking after our plants in the nursery and planning what to do all over again for next years shows. A gardeners work is never done!

Potting Potting Potting!

We like to give you a peek into our day to day sometimes, so here’s some photos of getting plants ready in-between shows, and our garden.

Pictured above was the 1st run of mail orders ready to be boxed A few more runs were to be boxed before I finished. Thank you you lovely lot for all your orders.

Beautiful view of the sky from Tunnel 4 where the new baby plants are living.

The plants on the left have just been potted and will have to grow a bit before they are ready to go to their new homes. The plants on the right are growing along nicely and will be ready soon. As you can see below we’ve made a start filling in the middle row!

Sales plants almost ready to go out, and ones pictured on the right are ready and have been going out, Heuchera ‘Orange Dream’ and Tiarella ‘Emerald Ellie‘. As we’ve been potting we should be making some new additions to the website over the next couple of weeks.

A few of you have asked about availability of plants, and you can give us your email address to be notified when the specific plant you want is back in stock. On our website, just click on the plant you’d like to buy that isn’t currently in stock. Then enter your name and email address and we will add you to a list that will send you an email when we add more of that variety to our shop. That way you are the first to know and get the chance to purchase!

RHS Wisley Flower Show Setup

{Heuchera Red Dress and Tiarella Emerald Ellie}

We are now all set up and ready for RHS Wisley to start this week. We’ve finished our display and the sale plants are all set up to go to their new homes. Here’s a few before and after shots of us putting our display together.

For anyone coming to the show, you can find us on stand no5 near the dahlia marquee on the lawn. For anyone who can’t make it, we’ve got some new plants in the shop that are now ready to go, which you can browse here.
