The garden centre has been developed to provide a valuable resource for the local community on the Isles of Dogs and help raise money to support the work of the Mudchute.
Managed by David Bloor, who has over 20 years experience in commercial horticulture and extensive knowledge of organic gardening techniques, wildlife gardening and composting, the garden centre sells an extensive range of farm grown perennials, shrubs, herbs and ornamental grasses.
Seasonal bedding plants at very competitive prices are also available
as well as pre planted hanging baskets and patio tubs.
This could easily be your garden!
We sell a good range of fruit trees all grown on dwarfing rootstocks to make them suitable for the city garden.
Garden & plant advice is available free and we plan to run informal
introductions to garden design, attracting wildlife to your garden and
home composting.
From Wild Life Gardening to Hanging baskets
With our help you can create your ideal garden
