Looking to work on your garden this weekend now the sun is shining? ☀🌻😎

There is a nursery surplus sale at Olivers Plants in Earls Colne until 30 June. 🪴

As one of largest growers of garden plants in North Essex, they have an abundance of freshly grown stock available from their nursery. To make space for new stock being grown on for the autumn season, they're offering fantastic savings across thousands of plants throughout June.

The sale includes everything from bedding and basket plants to perennials, shrubs, trees and more, giving you the perfect opportunity to get your garden planted up for summer.

You can buy direct from the grower and enjoy excellent quality at great value.
In-person only at Olivers Plants Plant Centre, Earls Colne.
