All entrance money goes direct to the National Garden Scheme supporting many national charities while the pop up tea and cake cafe is raising money for St Maryās Hospice in Ulverston šŗšŗšŗ
Our dahlias are now in the garden shop. We grew a large number of these last year in our own garden nursery at Halecat and we were thrilled with how well they did. If you get them now the dried tubers can be potted and kept somewhere frost free until they start shooting later in the season. Once things begin to really warm up you can root cuttings taken from the new shoots or just leave them be and once rooted through the established plants can go out into the garden. Rich luxuriously coloured colours, the hardest part is choosing! Prices start at Ā£3.79
Our Scottish seed potatoes are now in! first earlies, second earlies and mouth watering main crop varieties to whet your appetite. Many work well in large pots If youāre lacking space to grow them in the ground. All varieties are Ā£3.60 per kilo and you can pick and mix as much as you like.
Spring is well and truly in the air with our extensive selection of early flowering spring bulbs potted up by our team last autumn. The vast majority once planted in your garden will spread and begin to bulk up over time. If you need any advice on what to use where then please ask as weāre more than happy to help! š±
Thereās bargains to be had in the shop with many marked down Christmas decorations and ornaments including classic designs from Gisela Graham and Grand Illusions

All our bulbs are available loose and much like the sweet shops of old you can pick and choose to your hearts content (just donāt chew on any when you get home)
One of our favourite hardy exotics, is this beautiful Schefflera taiwaniana itās one of those plants that despite the inclement weather can transport you to somewhere warmer and slightly more exoticā¦ well we like to think so, even in Cumbria!
Another lovely example is Fatsia polycarpa āGreen Fingersā with its exquisite, deeply lobed leaves and for some variegated pizazz thereās itās more exuberant cousin Fatsia japonica āSpiders Webā all three are great in pots or in the ground, use them at home in a shady corner where you need evergreens to make the space more inviting particularly during the depths of winter, all three are available from the shop š±

Ever since Abi & Tom took over the Plant Centre in Grange weāve loved having the opportunity to fill the indoor shop area with a wide range of indoor plants and despite not having that much space?!
With all of our lovely team we always seem to manage to squeeze everything in and display it all with a pinch of fun and creativity. As we approach the autumn the winter juggle begins and that also includes making room for our festive winter gifts. To make room weāve discounted our largest uk grown houseplants by 30% so for those of you who might be looking for some more soul nourishing greenery in your kitchen, study, bedroom or living room, might be worth popping down to have a lookā¦šŖ“š±
