The BORDER IN A BOX scheme is a service for the novice, frustrated or just plain busy gardener who whilst loving their garden, does not have the time to pour through books or trawl the internet to find the perfect plants to enhance their borders.  The BORDER IN A BOX display, in the marquee at Taunton Flower Show, showing boxes for part shade, prairie, cottage garden, vegetable garden and hot sunny sites. The average cost of each box, before delivery was under £50. Unlike other companies offering plant packages, our aim is to make each box an individual selection based on the customer’s site, colour preferences and budget. It is possible, using plants from our budget range, to fill quite large space for under £50. These are young plants which will establish fast but generally look mature a season later than our larger plants. Advice is always available and we will visit and advise you in your garden if necessary,* and produce a planting plan.*
Border in a box makes an ideal wedding, birthday, anniversary or moving in present and if the recipient is within a 30 mile radius of the nursery, we can deliver the box, packed as a presentation, with your card (subject to season), or gift vouchers are always available.
* A charge will be made for this service.
