Let’s Get Growing!
We want to make sure you get the most out of your plants. Every month we pick a new ‘Plant of the Month’ to give you some inspiration and we have lots of guides on how to care for your garden.
Plant of the Month
Hello May!
We’ve picked a perfect pair for May - Lilac and our “Home Florist” Roses. This heavily frangrant duo are a perfect addition to the garden or your cut flower patch.

Clematis
They’re here! Our Raymond Evison Clematis have arrived and they’re beginning to flower. Did you know that Raymond Evison is up for “Plant of the Year” again at RHS Chelsea Flower Show?
Pop in to pick up a free printed guide and check out our display clematis for a little inspo.
Wisteria
Our wisteria is just beginning to flower and it looks stunning! Wisteria looks fantastic when trained to grow on garden structures or along walls.
If you have any questions regarding growing Wisteria, please pop in and have a chat with our friendly team.
Roses
A country garden classic. Once again, we have an absolutely fab range of roses in this year and they all have their own unique name. This makes them the perfect gift for a variety of occasions.
As always, please get in touch to find out if we have the rose you’re looking for. Or pop in and browse our brilliant range.
Hydrangea
Here’s another favourite of mine - the classic Hydrangea. Their stunning flowers shine in the summer garden and their faded, dried flower heads can add attractive winter interest.
Pop in to ask our team any of your Hydrangea questions!
Lavender
Ever popular, Lavender is always a favourite in the garden. We prefer the varieties ‘Hotcote’ and ‘Munstead’ as they better tolerate our cols and wet English weather. Your Lavender will benefit from cutting back at the end of summer, but we’ll provide more information on that closer to the time!
Pop in to pick up this English garden classic.
Alpines
Here’s a spring activity for you - why not make your own alpine container? They’re low maintenance and are a great project for beginners and experts. With a few decorative additions they can also be turned into a fairy garden for young gardeners!
Our first batch of alpines has just arrived at the garden centre and there’s lots to choose from!
All Creatures Great and Small
SO Plants’ 2025 Chipping Show Garden
We created this show garden to highlight ways in which we can make our outdoor spaces more inviting to wildlife and more accommodating to our four legged friends. Whether you’re looking to help save the bees or just keep the dog from trampling your borders, this garden has something for you.
