Herbs & Fruit

 

More and more people are turning to grow your own in recent times, and most herb and fruit are easy to grow.

​

A decent sunny garden position with well drained soil is ideal for most types, and if you only have a patio or balcony don't worry - many can be grown successfully in window boxes and large tubs.

​

​

Our Fruit Trees are located in the former Cottage Garden section in the Grow Your Own department - we have a selection of Apples, Pears, Plum, Cherry and Apricot. 

 

The range is best in the autumn through to early spring, as this is traditionally when most people plant trees - the soil is warm and the weather is damp so they will get established quickly. You can normally expect to get your first crops around a year after planting.

​

Most fruit trees are ideal for smaller gardens with some being suited to growing in pots on your patio - ask staff for assistance.  

​

Herbs : Our range varies according to time of year, with plants being available in single pots, usually on a 'Multibuy' deal so you can create a pot full of fresh herbs to use in your cooking
