Great staff here who are happy to advise which is just as well as I'm new to this gardening lark and have no idea where to start. They got me sorted and their plants are clearly in good condition (even I can see that!) at reasonable prices. Great place to shake off the winter blues among the flowers and smiles.

What a great idea: Tasteful Plants' little wildlife-gardening cabin, the Bird-Box, is crammed with lovely products to attract wildlife to your garden: not just bird-feeders and the food to go in them but smartly designed nesting boxes, bat boxes and insect shelters too, plus books and information on encouraging wildlife to your backyard. Brilliant for curious youngsters and us nature-loving oldies too!

The seed potatoes we bought from Tasteful Plants are putting on leaves in abundance in their containers. If that's any indication of the spuds themselves we'll be well chuffed, it's the first time we've grown any! We tried several places and theirs were best priced, the man on duty was very encouraging too. Overall a very pleasant buying experience.

Whilst visiting Mackenades I saw this little gem of a shop. Lovely plants in really good shape compared to some of the bigger shops I would normally use and the staff really know their stuff. Will be going back for more plants next time and they are also going to be selling christmas trees soon.
