Choosing new plants
In choosing plants you should ideally have a location in mind, have made an assessment of the growing conditions and understand the type of plant that will do well in that position.
We've made this a lot easier by designing a series of locations within our Plant Centre giving different growing conditions and varying seasons.
Before you decide come to our Plant Centre and see the plants in their locations, it will give you an appreciation of what type and species of plant will do well in certain conditions. And stop you making those expensive mistakes! Alternatively you may want to discuss it with one of our designers who are experienced in plants and their location.
