As always lots happening here at the garden centre. Graham and Nick recently staged a great exhibit at the local County Show - The Royal Cornwall Show. Not only did they receive a large Gold Medal but they were also awarded the Trelawney Trophy for the best trade exhibit in the flower marquee.
Back on the garden centre we have a fantastic range of perennials coming down from our nursery along with a lovely new selection of unusual trees and shrubs. I really hope to add more of these to the website as and when time allows.
The Garden Kitchen is as always offering daliy specials so make it a day out and pop along and see us.

A densely spreading shrub reaching to about 2m high. From Victoria in Australia this shrub is probably best planted in containers and taken into the greenhouse or conservatory for the winter. Masses of dainty, mauve coloured bottle brush like flowers in summer. Needs adequate moisture to establish then it should be ok in most ordinary garden soils.

Need privacy and shelter from the wind?"

Then this very tough plant from New Zealand could be your answer.
A fast growing evergreen hedging plant with leathery apple green foliage. Withstands salt winds and is very hardy therefore making it very good hedging plant. Plant 60cms apart for a thick hedge. Height 3-6m. Plant in sun or partial shade.
Cultural Information

Available in three sizes as per the picture.

Smaller orders can be sent by normal carriers as per our general mail order charges. Large orders by arrangement - for example Mr Jones in Dorset had a whole van full of plants delivered for only £100.00 carriage.

A great general fertiliser that we have had specially formulated. This feeds plants for one year but is only active in warm soils so should not be leached out of the soil by rain. Contains all the necessary nutrients along with trace elements.

The best fertiliser that we have had in nearly 30 years. Can be used in tubs, Pots, and hanging baskets, along with trees, shrubs, lawns, vegetables and most other garden uses. Very concentrated so you only need small amounts.
