Where the magic happens

We're lucky enough to have our very own nursery in rural Lincolnshire, spanning across 11 acres, fully owned, with a brand-new purpose-built packhouse part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.

Having our own nursery means we are constantly in close contact with our plants. This means we can guarantee your plants will thrive because we've grown them ourselves and/or cared for them here before we send them out to you. We also source products locally, nationally, and internationally to ensure we give our customers the best range, highest quality, and greatest value for money.

Our team at the nursery are a highly experienced and talented bunch. They are busy packing and preparing for over half a million individual parcels this year – that’s over 20,000 per week during our peak seasons! They'll insert Care Instructions with every live plant order including tips and tricks for best results. They'll then stamp your package with courier instructions to take care when handling and send it on its way to you in nursery fresh condition.
