🌸 Summer Bedding
Our first delivery of summer bedding and container plants has arrived at the garden centre. We can now start creating bespoke hanging baskets ready for the warmer months ahead.
Bring in your own baskets or choose from our range — we’ll plant them up in your preferred colours and varieties, then look after them and allow them to mature in our toasty greenhouse until they’re ready to go home with you.

🌿 Fresh Plants for Spring
We also have a beautiful selection of flowering plants, including Senettis, Osteospermum, French Lavenders, Weigelas, Camelias, Deutzias, Mophead Hydrangeas and a fresh range of houseplants perfect for Easter gifting.
We’ve also topped up our vegetables and herbs and have a plentiful supply of composts for preparing pots, borders, and raised beds.

🌱 A Fresh Hint of Spring

It’s heartening to spot those first signs of spring peeking through, even as we all push on through the grey, drizzly days. This week has brought a lovely burst of new life to the garden centre, with fresh arrivals of shrubs, perennials, alpines and early flowering bulbs.

Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be welcoming regular plant deliveries as we head into the busy season. We’ve also taken stock of new pots and planters, and we’re well‑supplied with compost, bark and manure — everything you need to start preparing your garden for the brighter days ahead.
Let the spring planning begin!

Winter Bird Feeding & the Big Garden Birdwatch

Winter is a tough time for our garden birds — natural food sources like insects, seeds and berries become scarce, just when birds need extra high energy, high fat food to stay warm.
Here at the garden centre, we stock a complete range of wild bird feeders and food such as suet treats, fat balls and seed mixes to help you support your garden visitors through the coldest months.
And with the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch taking place 23–25 January, it’s the perfect moment to top up your feeders and get involved. The Birdwatch is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey, helping build a vital picture of how our birds are faring across the UK.
👉 Learn more or sign up here: https://www.rspb.org.uk/
👉 Pop in and we’ll help you choose the right food and feeders for your garden.
Let’s give our feathered friends a helping hand this winter!
