Whatever space you’ve got
It starts with a Pot
With smaller plots, courtyards or balconies you can still
grow whatever fruit, vegetables & flowers you would like
to grow. Pots & Containers are available in all shapes, sizes
& colours. There are many different themes you can base
your container on.
Stylize – Design your own plant pot to liven up and complement an area in
need. Paint a pot, give it a vintage or shabby chic look.
Enhancing your wellbeing – Plants are good for the mind and body
as well as for enjoying in the garden. Create yourself a pot of wellbeing by
growing plants linked to aromatherapy and healthy living such as Lavender,
mint, violets, thyme, rosehip, are all great examples of this.
Attracting Wildlife – Pots don’t have to be solely for plants and people
enjoyment. You can use them to attract bees, butterflies and other wildlife,
plant your pot with your choice of ‘Wildlife Planting Mix’ you will find many
examples instore.
Education Children – There’s no age limit when it comes to gardening,
so get the younger ones involved with easy to grow plants in colourful pots
like cress, tomatoes, potatoes, sunflowers and sweet peas.
Small Space
No Problem
Sensory – Explore plants to develop the senses through colour, shape and
smell, and turn your garden space into a place of stimulation. Dianthus,
geraniums, chocolate cosmos and jasmine can be combined to make a
scented pot.
Small space – You don’t need a traditional garden to enjoy gardening.
You can transform whatever space you’ve got into a garden-like
environment by: placing pots on the balcony, growing a living wall, hanging
pots from the ceiling, attaching them to drain pipes, or simply making the
most of your window sill.
