Garden pests

Trees and shrubs

Ponds

In the battle against all the creepy crawlies which would like to enjoy your plants as much as you do, it&#39;s a&nbsp;good idea to be well-armed. You&#39;ll find everything you need to fight the good fight in our&nbsp;%locations%garden centre: keep&nbsp;these essentials in the garden shed and you&#39;ll be prepared at all times.

Sprays: &nbsp;We stock tree washes for getting rid of overwintering larvae and&nbsp;eggs on fruit trees and bushes.

Barriers: keep pests at bay without having to kill them: a screen of horticultural fleece around carrots keeps&nbsp;carrot fly away, while&nbsp;grit and copper rings deter slugs. Insect-proof mesh available off the&nbsp;roll or as a ready-to-use cloche keeps caterpillars and other pests off crops.

Organic deterrents: in our garden centre you&#39;ll find a range of organic methods for tackling pests, from&nbsp;super-effective wildlife friendly slug pellets to biological controls. We also stock a range of pheromone traps&nbsp;to hang among your plants for catching codling moth and other flying pests.

Every garden should have a tree: they&#39;re not only beautiful plants in their own right, they also cast soothing&nbsp;shade, provide valuable privacy and often give you flowers, fruit and spectacular autumn leaf colour too.

Choose trees and shrubs from the range in our garden centre to build the architectural backbone of your&nbsp;garden. In summer when other plants are showing off, trees and shrubs melt into the background, but they&nbsp;all have a moment when it&#39;s their turn to shine &ndash; often in the depths of winter when there&#39;s little else around.

Start your garden&#39;s design off on the right foot with specimen trees from the range in our garden&nbsp;centre. In small gardens, trees with year-round interest like the autumn-flowering cherry (Prunus x&nbsp;subhirtella &#39;Autumnalis&#39;) really earn their keep, and evergreen conifers are a sturdy, reliable presence&nbsp;throughout the seasons.

Shrubs provide a framework for your garden: evergreen shrubs in particular are a constant backdrop to&nbsp;other plants, giving weight and depth to your design. Extend the season with winter-flowering witch hazels or&nbsp;Christmas box, and add explosions of summer flowers with roses, hydrangeas or flowering quince.

Water in the garden is a magical thing, bringing the landscape to life with movement, light and sound. Ponds&nbsp;are vibrantly alive, whether it's burgeoning waterlilies or the flash of a goldfish, blue dragonflies humming&nbsp;overhead or a bird dropping in for a drink and a splash.
Add a watery dimension to your garden with some of the types of pond you can build from materials found in&nbsp;our garden centre.
Formal ponds in geometric shapes add cool sophistication to any garden. They can be raised or at ground&nbsp;level: add fish and carefully-judged plants to set the scene.
Informal ponds can be any shape you like: you'll find irregularly-shaped rigid liners or butyl liner for your&nbsp;own design in our garden centre. Disguise the edges with plants and cobbles for a natural look.
Water features are ideal for smaller gardens: we stock several designs from bubble fountains and wall-&nbsp;mounted spouts to modern steel cascades.
Wildlife ponds are informal ponds with features to attract more wildlife, such as pebble 'beaches' for easier&nbsp;access, plenty of plants and stone piles for frogs and toads to use as hideyholes.

Birds are often a mixed blessing in the garden: they'll swipe your berries, but while they're at it they'll also strip aphids from your roses, eat small slugs and hoover up caterpillars too. On the whole, they do far more good than harm: and besides, they're lovely to watch as they flit around yo
