Plants

Most of our plants are grown in Devon and the Southwest by specialist growers, using peat-free compost where possible. We draw from numerous small specialist nurseries across Devon.

Owing to restrictions on space we do not have an A-Z plant centre but we do have fabulous seasonal displays throughout the year with knowledgeable and helpful staff always on hand.

Clematis

Perennials

Specialist grown, many in peat free compost. We have a selection of old favourites and the more unusual. We are happy to source difficult to find varieties.

Shrubs and Trees

...and don't forget the Foliage

We have many shrubs, perennials and trees grown mainly for their interesting foliage. Above are just a few. Also see Shrubs and Trees section.

Bulbs, Corms, Tubers etc

Heathers

Bedding Plants

Do your Geraniums look like this ? This is a typical sight of Geraniums that have suffered due to the wet weather. Why not try Begonias or New Guinea Impatiens instead who cope much better in these conditions.

Begonias- one of our favourites- available from May to July, we always recommend them. In either cascading or upright form. The ones shown in the photo were planted in June in fresh multi-purpose compost, watered and fed regularly and are now over 12" high and won't be out of flower until the frosts. Rain or shine they easily out-perform Geraniums, especially this wet summer! They cost £1.99 each and the corms formed can be kept for next year for an even bigger plant.

New Guinea Impatiens- They come in a wide range of colours are are available from May to July at the Garden Shop for £2.99. The one pictured here (now over 12" or 30cm high) was planted at the end of May and will continue flowering until the first frosts. Watering and picking off the dead flowers is all that's needed.

Alpines

Alpines loosely describes a wide range of plants some of which are true alpines and many others which are just good for rock gardens, sinks, stumps and other small spaces etc.

Climbers

see also Roses and Clematis

Conifers

A fantastic selection of herbs is usually in stock, especially throughout the summer months. All are grown organically peat free.
