DELIVERING A NEW CONCEPT IN PLANT SUPPLY

Persicaria bistorta ‘ Superba ’

Greenwood Plants specialises in landscape supply to the new build property , commercial , and infrastructure sectors . The ornamental grower is launching a collection of plants , called the G Range , which has been carefully curated by its experienced horticulturists and includes 175 of its most popular varieties .
Plants within the G Range come with a brand promise of guaranteed three-day availability all year round – a new concept in response to increasing demand for fast deliveries to site . As well as speedy delivery , Greenwood also ensures that the plants meet the “ Greenwood Specification ” of defined pot sizes and recommended heights .
In a fast-moving international horticultural market , plants are grown and sold quickly ; they need time to develop and become established . However , there are several factors that can affect market supply , such as seasonal temperatures , growing conditions , and rate of plant growth .
The G Range has been designed to provide a solution to the frustrations around seasonal plant size , appearance , and availability . The G Range gives buyers certainty on what to expect at defined points in a plant ’ s development , ensuring that expectations for plant size versus pot size are met throughout the seasons .
For the ultimate peace of mind , Greenwood clients can also take advantage of Watch It Grow – its contract growing service that enables landscape architect practices , garden designers , and commercial landscapers to preselect the plants they need , to their specification , to be ready within a required timeframe . Prices are locked in , and plant species will be true to type , avoiding the requirement for last-minute substitutes . Sourcing plants from one supplier means that the product will be of a consistent standard , and a single point of contact also reduces the administration time that clients spend coordinating deliveries and installation .
Greenwood ’ s philosophy is that ‘ Every Plant Matters ’ – every plant choice should be meaningful , sustainable , and have longevity . Greenwood is an award-winning sustainability leader , committed to becoming peat-free by the end of 2023 , and aims to show how the horticultural industry can grow sustainably whilst producing consistently healthy plants . It prides itself on its fast and flexible national deliveries , its client-first approach , and its international supply chain .
