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.
Our roses are the best to be found
anywhere locally with a limited but carefully chosen selection of old and modern
varieties.

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.
