A favourite delivery method of ours, and our clients, is to have all plants carefully and individually selected by us (but chosen by the client, through talking to us), and then delivered all together at a pre-arranged date.

You get the best quality plants in existence at competitive prices, plus a much wider choice than you get from any other single supplier, or locally - because if you want something we haven't got, we will get it for you, from anywhere in the UK or Europe if need be, from our extensive trade network.

Our design pallette is huge. It is how we do our bespoke designs for the top shows and awards. We will do the same for you - we don't know any other way. Plus, for a small one-off fee, we can come and meet the delivery (or bring it with us) and lay out the plants to their best effect for you. No other plant or design company does this! So, even in a DIY garden design we are there to help.

There is nothing better than fresh picked herbs, fresh salads, vegetables and fruit. But where do you grow them when space is limited?There is a new compact home growing kit coming soon, and we have been asked if our 'readers' would like to participate in a short product survey (5 questions), with the chance to win one as a 'thank you' for taking part. Well, we couldn't deny you, could we? Not when we think they are such a smart idea.

Growing your own food this year? Even for flowers, it's time to start sowing early seeds. You may want to have a look at the Dobies of Devon range of propagators to help you on your way.

While the politicians at conferences play chicken with the planet, it is still our responsibility to clean the place up.Scientists say that we need to plant billions of trees as fast as possible (100,000 in January for starters) to re-absorb the carbon we are releasing into the atmosphere: already it is too late to save the north pole from becoming ice-free; the sea levels are continuing to rise, deserts increase, unbridled population rise - you know the facts by now, don't you?

Grow better in 2010

Thanks to Darwin we all know how plants are related to each other, and to the whole tree of life - which includes us. What better way to celebrate 200 years of Darwin than with an evolutionary garden.

Plant an ancient tree
The Wollemi Pine (Australia) is a cousin of the Monkey Puzzle (South America), from when the two continents were joined, and has less than 100 trees surviving in the wild. It is a rare species of Cretaceous plantlife which you can buy from us for yourself or give as a gift. Remarkably, it has survived 17 ice ages and looks as ancient as that suggests. Each plant comes with an authentication certificate, and royalties will be used to support the ongoing protection of the Wollemi Pine and other rare and threatened plant species in NSW, Australia.

And, yes, it too benefits from a mycorrhizal relationship.

The very ancient Wollemi Pine has striking bark and grows outdoors in the UK- it too uses mycorrhizal fungi

The Year of the Beautiful Garden – Why?
Every year is the year of the beautiful garden, so what’s new?

Selling your house - How to get to the front of the queue - Good Garden Design Sells Houses

Not Morocco
Use of a red Devonian sandstone wall in an Exeter garden to create a dramatic setting

So you can’t sell your house at the moment? You will. There are signs that the downturn is bottoming out and the market is moving again. There is a big backlog of people wanting to sell their house, so how will you make your house stand out from the crowd?

Ask yourself: Which houses will sell first? What will you buy? A nice house in a good location? Or a nice house in a good location with a stunning garden? Maybe the stunning garden will make the location better?

We know from our work with estate agents and houses and gardens on the market that a fabulous garden will sell the house before the clients even get to the front door!

With our experience and our plants you will have a stunning garden. Even if you choose to do-it-yourself, with our plants and guidance you can create a beautiful garden that will put you in the front running to sell your house – you may not even want to move!

New House? Or staying put?

Whether you have just moved in, or have decided to stay put, treat yourself and add value to your property at the same time with green investment. Where will your garden take you this year – Bali? Tuscany? Capri? Japan? Use the plants and accessories we use. More

Bring back the fruit tree!

For too long growing fruit at home has declined. There is no easier way to get your five-a-day, and you cannot buy taste like it: so fresh!

By establishing plants on a growing frame you can create a beautiful living arch. Not only is this a good design idea, it's edible too. You can grow fruit organically with mycorrhizal fungi and seaweed derived fertiliser.
