One of the most admired houseplant ranges in the region. From beginner-friendly succulents to rare tropicals, displayed in our glass house.

What people say

We came in for a bag of compost and left with a plan for the whole back garden. Nobody rushed us and nobody tried to sell us a thing we did not need.

Ruth and Peter A. · Craven Arms

The pruning workshop was worth every penny. I have killed two apple trees in my time and I finally know why.

Sandra M. · Ludlow

Best houseplant range for forty miles, and they actually know what they are talking about. The monthly newsletter is genuinely useful too.

Dan O. · Church Stretton

“We have been helping Shropshire gardeners since 1978. In that time the plants have changed, but the love of growing has not.”

David and Helen Marsh, founders
