Over time, Chris built up the business, whilst
studying for a degree at Writtle College,
world-renowned in the world of horticulture.
Gradually through dedication to quality, service
and value for money, the business has become a
force to be reckoned with in mail order
Gardening, and is now one of the largest
independent online Gardening Centres in the UK.
Word has spread rapidly amongst our many
customers and their friends and we now ship
thousands of plants every week, not just within
the UK, but also throughout Europe. We’ve also
expanded beyond the web, with a print catalogue
distributed through the glossy gardening
magazines in the Spring.
The Company has formed many partnerships with high
profile brands and organisations, always aiming to
stay one step ahead of the many ‘me too’ competitors
that have jumped on the online gardening bandwagon.
It’s a compliment for us to know that so many now
use us as a benchmark when attempting to reach high
standards. As testimony to quality, we’ve been
successful enough to be selected by big name Oxford
Street stores as a supplier, so you can now find a
range of our plants in the heart of London’s West
End. Many leading garden centre groups now also
trust us for fulfilment of their mail order
operations, as well as supplying quality plants from
our extensive nursery stocks direct to their stores.
Today, you’ll find a lot more than just plants on
our website, we’re developing an extensive
range consisting of everything you need to look
after them well, a range of planters, gifts, in fact
we’ll soon have virtually anything you can find in a
regular garden centre. You’ll want to check back to
our site frequently, as our stock is continually
changing with the seasons!
This does not mean we’ve forgotten our roots, with
plants remaining the foundation of our business, and
with Chris still actively involved, you can be sure
our commitment to our founding values, and quality
strongly being upheld.
Everything we sell is guaranteed – we don’t send out
anything we would not be delighted to receive
ourselves. Most of our plants are supplied pot
grown, and we tell you exactly how large or small
they are. We were fed up of ordering expensive
plants and being sent spindly twigs with no soil.
Our specially designed packaging ensures everything
arrives with you in pristine condition.
We believe in the price you see is the price you
pay, unlike other companies that sting you with
hidden charges, all our prices include delivery to
your door for all orders over £75. With our price
promise, you have the peace of mind that you could
not buy better plants anywhere else.
We look forward to delivering an order to you soon.
