Herbs and vegetables
One of the largest selections of culinary
and medicinal herbs in the UK can be found in our herb garden
selected for their flavour, aroma and colour. Every culinary
plant is safe to eat, free from harmful chemicals and grown
in peat free compost. Our herbs are grown by the leading herb
nursery in the UK which provides us with a selection of over
300 varieties many of which are exciting new and unusual plants.
During the spring and summer we have a great selection from
15 varieties of Basil, over 30 varieties of Lavender, 25 varieties
of mint and over 30 varieties of thyme, mixed with oregano,
fennel, garlic chives, marjoram, coriander, rocquette, sage,
tarragon and many, many more - the selection is always changing.
Mature plants
Sometimes you just can't wait for a plant
to grow to maturity - you want it  big
- now! Well we can help with a wonderful selection of large
plants and trees, huge bamboos, exciting palms over 2 - 3
metres tall, wisteria already 3 metres high, or large tree
ferns with fronds large enough to stand under. Most of our
mature plants are imported from Tuscany where they grow fast
in the rich fertile soil, warmed by the Italian sun , but
get very cold in the winter to ensure they are fully hardy
in London. Just superb.
Pots, troughs and containers
We have an enormous range of containers from
around the world - Italy, Tunisia, the UK, Vietnam, China,
Turkey, Crete, Pakistan, France, Thailand and Malaysia! Materials
used include terracotta and glazed terracotta, granite and
zinc, ceramic and glass for indoor use, and of course wood
(our recycled whiskey barrells smell delicious!). We always
have price promotions throughout the year, many pots at half
normal retail price! For roof gardeners where weight is of
prime concern we also have a huge range of plastic containers,
many of which look so much like weathered terracotta that
it's hard to tell the difference!
Call in the next time you are passing!
