🌹A Walk Around the Garden Centre 🌹 June Blooms - we’re buzzing!
The first week of June is bursting into life. in bedding we’ve got pinks, gazania trays in white, yellow and bright orange, Fuchsia Lady Boothby ready to train up a trellis, the lovely Campanula portenschlagiana is spilling over with purple blooms. In herbaceous there’s salvia x superba, geranium ‘Rozanne’, delphinium, lupin, such a huge selection that we are rearranging our display just to fit it all in! Not to mention the sumptuous shrubs like Deutzia x hybrida ‘Strawberry Fields’ that is covered in frothy pale pink blooms and the bees are buzzing happily round it.

We’re delighted to be joined today by a local group from ‘Realise Futures’ in Lowestoft, who are currently taking part in the ‘Sow and Grow’ allotment course. This programme is run through the Lowestoft Learning Centre, offering practical, confidence‑building horticulture sessions.
Today, four learners, their tutor, and a volunteer are spending the day working behind the scenes in our nursery - potting bulbs, repotting herbaceous plants, refreshing dahlias, tidying our fern section, and creating some beautiful hanging baskets.
‘Sow and Grow’ runs for 10 sessions in spring/summer, and its sister course, ‘Changing Seasons’ begins on Tuesdays from September. This autumn‑focused course explores how to care for the garden as the weather shifts, including small practical skills like collecting seeds, preparing beds for winter, and protecting tender plants.
It’s wonderful to see learners gaining hands‑on experience and helping bring new life to the nursery. Let us know if you’d like more information about the upcoming sessions.

A Walk Around the Garden Centre: 🌧️ Wet & Wild Edition! 🌧️ It may be a cold, rainy May day, but that doesn’t stop us plotting and planting for a bright and productive garden! NEW this week: garden-inspired decor, fresh pond plants and marginals💦, an expanding herbaceous section featuring the striking Persicaria microcephala ‘Red Dragon’, beautifully scented Sarcococca ‘Purple Gem’, vibrant trailing begonia ‘Illuminations’, amazing Acers, clematis and agapanthus, plus plenty of fresh herbs — and our early tomato plants are on sale for anyone ready to give them a warm spot to grow. Rainy days make everything look refreshed, so dip in and have a watery wander. ☔️

🌿 A Walk Around the Garden Centre 🌿 LOTS NEW THIS WEEK! It’s a cooler week, but the garden centre is full of fresh colour and new arrivals. You’ll find olive trees in a range of sizes, Bay trees and feathery soft Bottlebrush quarter-standards, Trachelospermum (Star Jasmine) climbers and ready‑trained espaliers. More bedding plants including Lantana and Salvia ‘Summer Jewel Red’, the tropical Tetrapanax ‘Rex’ is always worth stopping to admire, the leaves are huge! Golden Euonymus stands beside striking Fatsia ‘Spider’s Web’, Wisteria is ready to train. For structure and height, there’s compact hedging plant Prunus laurocerasus ‘Etna’, for bamboo, and tall Italian Cypress. Another lovely highlight (too many to choose from): fruiting citron trees (Citrus medica) - the ancient citrus with large, knobbly, wonderfully fragrant lemons, prized more for zest and aroma than juice.
