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.

"We never manage to "drive by"... always a lovely place to stop and enjoy. Superb coffee, fantastic cakes - and on a cold day tuck yourself by the fire. Such helpful willing staff. The nursery, the ideas, the products - outstanding range. Quite possibly the best place to be at any time. Ignore the others.. Russells is a trip out and always a pleasure (even for us from Portsmouth). "
