Our Feedback
Hello, I received my gooseberry bush and some Lily of the Valley plants this afternoon. I only placed the order over the weekend, your service is amazing and the plants arrived in good condition (not surprising given the packaging!!) they are already planted and watered well. I can't wait for November and the rest of my order, ever so glad I found your site. Look forward to buying from you again. Thanks, Anne p.s. your shredded paper as a mulch is inspired.

Pond Side Plants
‘Pondside plants’ is perhaps a somewhat generic term for a broad range of plants that thrive in moist, boggier conditions that can be prone to waterlogging at times – so make for the perfect planting choice for close proximity to a pond or bog garden. These pondside plants and bog plants help to easily brighten up those ‘difficult’ damp spaces, and the varieties available in this listing include a range of dramatic, eye-popping colours and structures to more muted, subtle but equally beautiful plants and shrubs, as well as striking rushes that will prove beneficial to many species of wild life.
