A pot for every planting need...
Our range of pots is extensive, with our main supplier of terracotta and glazed pots, Woodlodge, the market leader when it comes to supplying frost proof, quality pots that are made to last. The never dated classic terracotta is joined by a whole host of glazed options in numerous shapes, sizes and designs. Alongside the pots sits a range of garden ornaments, as well as bird baths and water features, to help transform or complete a garden space.
Recently relocated to inside the shop, is a wide selection of plastic pots by leading brands like Elho, and Ecopots (made from recycled plastic) in a wide range of colours, sizes and shapes, and to suit every budget.
Personal choice will normally determine which pot is right for your garden – plastic, terracotta (glazed or unglazed), wooden etc – although it is worth bearing in mind that some plants will be better suited to certain pots. For example, unglazed terracotta pots will generally lose more moisture than glazed or plastic pots, and so may be better suited to succulents or drought tolerant plants. If you need some advice choosing from the enormous range available, please just ask, we’re always happy to help.

For the best results...
WATERING – One of the most neglected areas of container/pot growing; plants in pots need watering daily in the growing season — even if it has been raining. Most established containers would need a heavy downpour every few days to provide them with sufficient water.
FEEDING- Permanent containers require a decent compost (with added John Innes if permanent plantings) and then feeding every season — we recommend a slow release fertiliser, mixed in with the compost when planting, and then reapplication as a top dressing in subsequent years.
DRAINAGE – Getting rid of excess moisture in the winter can be as important as watering in the summer. Many pots, especially glazed ones, may only have a single hole in the base and this can often be inadequate, particularly if the hole gets blocked with compost. It is therefore important to ‘crock’ your pots with either old, broken pots or with an upturned plastic flower pot placed over the hole. We have also successfully used polystyrene in the past. On most surfaces, especially paving and concrete, it is also important to keep your pots off the ground with old bricks or pot feet.
