Alpines are plants found in high mountainous areas generally above the natural tree line.
They are usually exposed to wide ranging temperatures: very freely draining low nutrient soils: strong winds and high light levels.
To survive these conditions they have evolved a number of defences because they are low growing, mat or cushion-forming plants.
They are protected against harsh winds and cold: they are dormant under snow; they have extensive root systems to seek out moisture and nutrients: they often have spiny growths to deter grazing animals.

Whether you have a secluded pond, sunny rock wall or a serene woodland setting, you can find an assortment of ferns to add beauty to any spot in the garden.
Most ferns do well in part shade or dappled sunlight, but there are many which will do well with quite a bit of sun, provided they get enough water.
Shade loving ferns appreciate an organic, evenly moist, well drained soil.
If your soil is heavy on the clay or sandy side, you can add compost or other organic matter to help balance it out.
Ferns require minimal maintenance throughout the year.

Ornamental grasses can play a part in most gardens, from providing calming accompaniments to more colourful flowering plants to being the sole focus of the design.
There are grasses for damp or dry soil, shady as well as sunny situations.
Many are great to add to the cutting garden; others perform well in containers.
Cultivation: ornamental grasses tolerate a wide range of conditions, but most like a sunny position in light, moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil.
They do not need much feeding; this can encourage lush foliage at the expense of flowers.

Hedge plants are cheap, easy to plant and form an attractive boundary much more quickly than you would imagine.
As well as providing structure to the garden, they can be perfect for wildlife and particularly nesting birds.
What to plant: Most trees and shrubs have potential to make hedges.
Have a browse through our comprehensive range below and please feel free to give us a call to discuss your requirements before you place your order.
When to plant a hedge: Evergreen and semi-evergreen hedges such as box, privet (semi evergreen) and yew are ideal for planting early autumn, however they can be planted at any time from late autumn until late winter.

Herbs, in most cases, are tough wild plants which when spoilt by the lush conditions of a garden, will thrive and romp away.
It's a myth that all herbs like full sun, even good old basil likes partial shade at midday.
So when planting your garden, you can divide your plants into two sections, those like Thyme, Sage, Rosemary, French Tarragon and Oregano that like full sun and those that like partial shade, such as Rocket, Sorrel, Mizuna, Mustard, Parsley and Chervil.
When growing herbs in containers, use a soil based compost, such as John Innes potting compost, this is because there are very few herbs that grow in peat and a soil-based compost retains moisture which is a must to stop containers drying out.
