Coastal Gardening
Our enviable position by the sea on the South coast has led us to specialise in supplying plants suitable for seaside gardening together with pots and planters and other coastal products.
Our trained staff can give advice on plant selection and suitability.
Newcomers to coastal gardening can spend a lot of money on plants and be disappointed with the results if they ignore the effects of salt and wind. Shelter from salt and wind are essential in the establishment of a garden. Artificial screening will filter the wind. This will help prevent scorching and blackening of leaf edges and give protection until a living shelter belt has matured.
Have a look at neighbouring gardens and see what grows well.
Note how much protection the plants require to look good. The mild coastal climate favours lots of exotic and interesting plants. many of which would be too tender to survive inland.
Give new plants a good start in life; prepare soil well. water them until established, hose them down if gales cover them in salt. Always remember that small plants will establish better than large ones and the denser the planting the more you will reduce wind rock.

"Your cakes are second to none locally and we enjoy the fresh sandwiches and chunky bread too! Our family loves to wander around the furniture and usually end up buying an item or two. Thank you for giving us locals somewhere to enjoy so much. The Jack Family"
