After a very disappointing June we are still waiting for summer to arrive. However the warm temperatures coupled with plenty of rain means the plants have really grown well. What we need now is a nice settled spell to encourage people into their gardens and hopefully keen to buy more plants.
If you are a Garden Designer, Landscaper or Plant Retailer please get in touch for information about the plants we grow.
For more information about trade sales please refer to our Nursery website.
Instead of advancing towards summer, the weather has taken several giant steps back towards winter. If it's not hail stones clattering down, it's cold winds from the north west rattling the the doors of the potting shed. - Come on this is South Devon! We have holiday makers who want to wear shorts. The long days seem to be enough for the plants to grow away, so that is encouraging.
Storm Katie battered its' way across the South over the Easter weekend. It drenched the ground again, causing flooding and uprooting many trees. Things had started to dry up and will quickly do so again with the longer days and higher temperatures.
The young hedging plants are all growing well and are starting to be added to our web site.
March may be the official start of spring, but the weather shows little sign of agreeing so far, still more rain and gale force winds. We have had some nicer cold clear days and the sun when it shines is really gaining strength.
There are quite a number of lovely things flowering at the moment. They may be well out of season, but still welcome. Driving around the countryside there are drifts of snowdrops looking fantastic and lighting up the often gloomy days.
The pale green flowers of Ribes laurifolium are looking good. They will make a low shrub or can be trained against a wall.
