Personal Shopping Experience with our Plant Consultants
As a traditional, plant-based nursery, we have an extensive team of knowledge staff who are here to assist with all your gardening help and advice needs.
Following several requests for more in-depth, tailored help and advice sessions with our plant experts, we have decided to offer a personal shopping experience with our plant consultants with a full hour available (or more, if required) to discuss your specific requirements.
We can be flexible in how these are structured and what you would like to discuss. Perhaps you’re a beginner gardener with a new garden or border to plant up, looking for ideas on what to plant where to make the most of the space. Maybe you know someone else who loves gardening you’re looking for an experience they will cherish as a birthday or Christmas gift. Or even if you’re an experienced gardener and want to share thoughts with a likeminded expert on new plant varieties or gardening techniques…
The service can include:
- Talking through your vision for your garden and what you’re looking to achieve.
- Recommending suitable plants for your site and situation (soil type, aspect, etc).
- Sketching out of a rough planting plan for your garden to take away (simple handwritten sketch).
- Detailed Q&A with our plant experts on any topics that interest you.
Optional things to bring with you to make the most of the experience:
- Rough sketch of your garden
- pH of your soil (or bring a sample of soil from a few different parts of your garden)
Price: £20 for 1 hour consultation & personal shopping experience.
You’ll get a voucher for £20 off when you spend £200 or more on plants from us at the end of the experience, so in effect if you purchase a decent collection of plants from us at the end of the consultation, your consultation will be free.
Further Information and Booking: Please call us on (01782) 502078.
