Frondere Plants

Finally getting around to remaking my giant macrame hanger after my cats 'damaged' the last one 🤦

I'm only open until 3pm today . Open from 9.30 again tomorrow 😊

I am open as usual now and today is bake day. Woo hoo!! So there are chocolate cupcakes waiting to be iced, scones baking and Sicilian lemon cupcakes to be made. nom nom.

Its a glorious day today, so come sit outside, admire the view, eat cake and enjoy life. 😘😘😘 🍰🍰🍰🍰

Morning. Don't forget I don't open until 11am today 😁

Evening all. A few things to update you with:

I'm back open tomorrow (wednesday) and back to normal hours. Whoo hoo!

I'm openingate tomorrow however as I am seeing my oncology team. Probably around 11am but will update socials when I'm back
Lastly I've had a few people asking about funeral pot flowers last don't fade. These would be UV stable flowers and I am getting some in to make up these tributes. If you would like one please let me know so I can order enough. They will be £15 including a plain pot. UV flowers usually last a year without fading in direct sun.

See you all soon 😁

When you make a little house for Charlotte and she actually uses it!!!! 😁😁😁

Today we went to St Ives which was busy busy, but gorgeous. We also stopped at St Michael's Mount, walked along the road to the island only to find you now have to pay to visit it. So a bit of a wasted trip except for finding THIS on the beach.....it's a 🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒 face. Isn't nature just so wonderful!

Opposite the hotel is the Queen Mary Garden. It's lovely and has the biggest Gunnera Grouping I've ever seen. Huge leaves in abundance all within a large pond. It beautiful. Also some rather enormous date palms 😁

I love you lots, but I'm afraid I'm not going to miss you this week. Not with this view 😘

I am closing early today at 3pm sharp as I have a hsp appt. Apologies for any inconvenience. And don't forget that I am closed from tomorrow right through to 28th August 😊

The gorgeous Rudbeckia Juligold is finally showing. Super tall, bright yellow flowers with an unusual green centre are perfect for the back of a border or for prairie planting. Mix with tall swooshing grasses and verbena for a calm feel or mix with other Rudbeckia and echinachia for a burst of colour. Lush. 😍😍. Good for the bees too. Win win.

There is a family of pigeons living at the shop and enjoying the water form the pond plants. It's so important to leave water for wildlife, especially in this heat. Somewhere shady so it doesn't evaporate quickly, keep it clean and refreshed regularly. 😊

Chocy wocky cupcakes and a view on this glorious day. Nothing better. The curtains are down on the Ibiza tent and they are billowing. It's proper lush 😄😄

Open until 4pm 😊😊😊

Salted caramel cupcakes are ready!

I am CLOSED from Thursday 15th August for a well deserved holiday. I will be open again on Wednesday 28th August

I am also CLOSED for the week commencing 9th September as I start chemotherapy, have a show in London and will be at the Helmingham Hall Plant Fayre for the weekend. I will be open again on 16th September

I will post reminders and update my Google and website nearer the time 😊

Scones and cakes need to be eaten before I go so come on down for tea, coffee and cake. Or try my Banana and chocolate milkshake!

It's happening!!! The African Star of Bethlehem (giant SOB) is finally starting to flower and I can't wait to see it in full bloom. Many of you have asked if it's for sale. It's not. Not ATM. But come autumn I will be splitting it so keep your eyes peeled in spring!

It's also bake day today so I will be making salted caramel muffins with vanilla topping. Yum. 😍😍

Open until 4pm in Lowestoft Marina, south Elmham Terrace.

New planty stuff.....all £2.50....bargain!

Morning all. I will be closed early today at 2.30pm as I have an appointment with the oncologist.

So open today from 9.30 until 2.30. back to normal on Friday 😊

No point them going to waste! Snooze ya loose. 😜. Nom nom nom

Seats with a view. Under the tent gives a window view into the river. Joyous 😊

Cupcakes, scones and .....bananas???? Yes, we have our very special banana and chocolate milkshake for the summer...made with proper real ingredients, no added blah....and proper lush....mmmmmm

Also available to do iced coffee now.....nom

Still warm!!!

This beautiful Clematis Alp. 'Albina Plena' is just flowering even though it should have been out in April!!! The weather has really confused lots of plants this year 😔. A climber to 3m and happy on partial shade, the white flowers will brighten a darker area of the garden and pop at night, especially if lit from underneath. Gorgeous 🤩

Cakes being baked today now I have the right equipment 😜

No cakes today then....oops 😬🤦🤦🤦🤦. Scones though!

It's going to be hot today and bake day is here. So if you want a scone or cake get on down here. Ready late morning ...nom nom nom

That's one terrarium done. I just love these vintage bonbon jars. They make such beautiful terrariums. 😍

I'm thinking of running a terrarium workshop. Would anyone be interested?? Probably in the late afternoon on a weekday. Let me know on the comments 😁

This little display is now done. It's made from a pallet, scrap metal objects, butler sink and old terracotta pots. I try to create displays to give you ideas and this one is to show that a beautiful plant area can be created from junk, and that you don't need a huge space to reate something beautiful, or in fact have lots of spare cash.

Old metal lamps have been used as mini greenhouses for succulents. A solar pump is in the old butler sink which was free, and creates a water haven for wildlife. An old trough is alscrewed to the pallet to house hanging plants. Old metal baths host plants....anything is possible with a little imagination!

We are open today until 4pm
