Plants for Small Gardens

Have been growing plants in Devon for more than 30 years but don’t be fooled into thinking that the climate will make their plants soft and tender; they are nearly 1000 feet above sea level on the edge of Dartmoor and in a ‘normal’ season would expect to get 45 inches of rain a year.

Although their range includes many plants which are traditionally referred to as ‘rockery’ or ‘alpine’, most of
the plants offered, such as helianthemums, aubrieta, dianthus and sedum do very well growing in flower borders and are actually better suited
for growing in today’s smaller gardens than some more traditional larger growing shrubs.

They grow all their own plants to sell and are constantly trialing varieties, old and new, to see which ones offer the best value in terms of plant health, habit and ease of cultivation. www.plantsforsmallgardens.co.uk
