Grow your own is back !
What a great way to save money, control quality and cook with your own home grown ingredients.
In recent years the UK sales of seeds and bulbs has increased rapidly and Warwickshire is no exception. Edible crops shows the highest growth with more people taking up segments of farm land or section of their garden and tending them as allotments. The 'grow your own' era is back, bigger and stronger than ever before. We use a wide range of seeds and bulbs from our edible range on our very own allotment here on the nursery. We stock a wide range of seeds, our favourite range is the 'Vegetable Explorer' from Fothergills, renown for its choice of unusual fruits and veg.
We have selected Taylors as our main supplier of bulbs. Their range features a great choice of edible crops such as garlic, onion, shallots and rhubarb to name a few. Taylors are known for their quality and range of flowering bulbs. They generally fall into two categories, Spring Flowering and Summer Flowering.
