Bedding Plants

Discover our range of spectacular plants for hanging baskets, tubs, troughs and borders.

These plants are a wonderful addition to the permanent framework of shrubs and evergreens that live in your garden all year round. They provide a new season of interest when you can try something different – perhaps a new variety or new colour scheme.

Winter can be a quiet time in the garden and bedding plants offer the perfect solution in bringing some much-needed colour and cheer. They can be nestled within your borders or used to adorn your planters, transforming your garden into a vibrant and inviting retreat.

We have a wide variety of frost-hardy and resilient bedding plants to chose from, such as pansies, violas, primroses and cyclamen. Our team of experts can help you make the best selection for your available space.

We also carry a bespoke range of hanging baskets and planters for you to add instant impact to your garden.

May's Top Tips

Deadheading flowers is very simple. As plants fade out of bloom, pinch or cut off the flower stem below the spent flower and just above the first set of full, healthy leaves. Repeat with all the dead flowers on the plant.
Nature will bless you with a second wave of blooms to enjoy even more.

Customer Comments

We love hearing from our customers. We pride ourselves on our outstanding service and it’s wonderful to hear of the experiences our customers have had whilst shopping in the garden centre.

Great garden centre with huge selection of products. Unusual gift ideas and fantastic aquatic section that puts most pet shops to shame. Kids would love just seeing the huge collection they have and keeps them occupied and interested. Well worth a visit and spend time browsing for ideas.

Brilliant, lots of amazing things for the garden...not just plants and trees... Could spend hours there...

Excellent service wanted advice on specific plants, the man really knew his stuff and helped me choose exactly what I wanted. Whole new range of impressive stock. Highly recommend.

I have to say nothing was too much for the staff at this shop, not only did they take down displays and box them for me they also took them to the till waiting until id walked around the shop as they were extremely heavy, they were helpful polite and adhered to safety of every customer, it was a pure delight even for a casual walk around inside and outside areas, with added sunshine and a few bargains to boot.. take a trip if you’re looking for new ideas or an hour to kill ...

A truly lovely garden centre.. very clean, tidy and have a very healthy selection of plants, trees, and shrubs. Staff are polite and knowledgeable.

OMG what an amazing two visits over the weekend. Beautiful healthy massive variety of plants, flowers, garden and barbecue accessories to choose from. Silk fake plants look amazingly real. Although a little on the expensive side everything is worth it. No quibble about returning items either. Excellent well-mannered and very helpful staff on hand to help with questions and lifting of heavy items. Definitely recommend and no doubt at all that I will be going back this weekend.
