Most plants will grow quite happily in containers and you can make just as fabulous a display using plants in&nbsp;containers as you can in the garden - great news if you're short on outdoor space. In our garden centre you'll&nbsp;find a container for every plant: just match your plants to the pot that suits it best for instant success.
Pots come in a huge range of styles and materials from ceramic to terracotta, stainless steel and stone. Let&nbsp;your imagination run riot creating mixed displays of perennials and shrubs in larger pots for instant impact.
Troughs and grow spaces work brilliantly for growing vegetables on the patio. Place troughs against a wall&nbsp;to grow climbing beans, or divide a grow space as small as 1m x 1m into squares for planting a surprisingly&nbsp;wide variety of fruit and veg.
Hanging baskets brighten up the dingiest of entrance ways with brilliant scarlet pelargoniums or, for&nbsp;something different, tumbling tomatoes or chillies. In our garden centre you'll find not only the baskets but&nbsp;also liners and water-retaining gel to mix into the compost to hold on to moisture for longer.
Please ask the staff in our garden centre in %locations%&nbsp;for more information and advice about choosing containers.

The soil beneath your feet is your most precious resource in the garden: look after it, and your plants thrive.&nbsp;There&#39;s a huge range of bagged composts, soil improvers and fertilisers in our garden centre to keep&nbsp;container plants happy and your soil in tip-top health.

Multipurpose compost is perfect for container-grown bedding, cuttings and potting on. In our garden centre&nbsp;you&#39;ll find environmentally-friendly peat-free and peat-reduced composts, and composts with added fertiliser&nbsp;and water-retaining gels - great for thirsty hanging baskets.

Specialist composts are tailor-made for the needs of plants from citrus to roses. You&#39;ll also find soil-based&nbsp;composts in our garden centre for permanent container planting, ericaceous composts for lime-hating plants&nbsp;and fine-grade seed composts for sowing.

Soil improvers like farmyard manure and soil conditioner&nbsp;beef up poorer soils to keep plants growing&nbsp;strongly. Mix with your soil when planting and use to mulch the surface to suppress weeds and hold in&nbsp;moisture.

Fertilisers include liquid feeds such as liquid seaweed and tomato feed to encourage flowering and fruiting.&nbsp;Add slow-release fertilisers such as fish, blood &amp; bone&nbsp;to planting holes and mix granular feeds into potting composts&nbsp;for feed-and-go convenience.

Please ask the staff in our garden centre in %locations%&nbsp;for more information and advice about composts and fertilisers.

Healthy and supremely tasty, fresh-picked fruit from the garden is one of the real luxuries of growing your&nbsp;own. A British climate is perfect for growing so many different types from tart rhubarb in early spring to sweet&nbsp;summer strawberries and crunchy autumn apples.
We stock a huge fruit range in our&nbsp;%locations%garden centre: look out for container-grown bushes and trees to buy all&nbsp;year round, or in winter bare-root plants which establish in double-quick time.
Fruit trees to enjoy in your garden include traditional apples, pears and plums – we stock many traditional&nbsp;heritage varieties with outstanding flavour and fascinating histories. Look out for unusual fruits, too, like&nbsp;mulberries, quinces and medlars in our garden centre.
Berries and currants are superb value, producing years of plentiful harvests from just a few plants.&nbsp;Gooseberries are first, fruiting from May, while currants (black, white and red) take over in summer.
Bare-root stock gives you a great choice of varieties. In our garden centre from November onwards, you'll&nbsp;find bundles of raspberry canes, fruit trees and strawberry crowns sold this way to plant as soon as you get&nbsp;them home.
Please ask the staff in our garden centre in %locations%&nbsp;for more information and advice about growing fruit.

Watching a seed germinate and grow is a hugely exciting part of your gardening year: you hardly dare&nbsp;believe it's going to work, yet invariably that tiny kernel sends up a sturdy green sprout. The plants you raise&nbsp;from seed are always a bit special, so this year try raising something new from the hundreds of varieties from&nbsp;our garden centre.
Annuals: hardy annuals like love-in-a-mist, marigolds and nasturtiums are easiest of all and provide&nbsp;incredibly long seasons of colour from a few seeds scattered direct into the ground in spring.
Half-hardy annuals include all the bedding plants: in our garden centre you'll find seed to sow under cover&nbsp;in spring for colourful containers all summer long including pelargoniums, petunias, surfinias and nemesia.
Perennials: several perennials are very easy from seed, flowering in their first year and coming back again&nbsp;and again. Try echinacea, rudbeckia, grasses like deschampsia and hardy geraniums from our range.
Vegetable seeds: our largest selection of seeds is reserved for the grow-your-own enthusiast, with every&nbsp;veg from cucumbers to swede. Our heritage ranges boast superb flavour, or for something completely&nbsp;different try exotic veg like tamarilloes.
Please ask the staff in our garden centre in %locations%&nbsp;for more information and advice about the seeds in our range.

In these days of unpredictable weather a drought is never far away, so kit yourself out to keep your plants&nbsp;going through even the driest summer from the wide range of watering equipment in our garden centre.&nbsp;Here's what you'll need to make sure your plants need never go thirsty again.
Watering cans are useful all year, but especially if you're in an area subject to a hosepipe ban. Larger 10-&nbsp;litre and 5-litre cans keep the garden going, while small 1-litre cans are ideal for seedlings and houseplants.
Water butts store rainwater so you don't have to use up precious tap water. These days they come in a wide&nbsp;range of designs: connect them together to double your storage capacity.
Hoses and attachments make watering easy, with everything from spray guns to sprinklers in our range.&nbsp;Leaky hoses conserve water, too: lay them alongside your plants to deliver water where it's needed.
Automated watering systems free you from watering chores to enjoy your garden. Connect dripper&nbsp;systems via a hose to a timer, set to water whenever you want without you having to lift a finger.
