New ordering facility...
St Bridget Nurseries have just made things a little bit easier to order plants online. They have added prices to their plant list on their website and each plant has an order button. As mail order prices depend on height and weight of plants you need to get a quote for each order. The order button opens up an e-mail and all you have to do is give your address. You will get an e-mail back that gives availability of the plant, size options and a full quote. It's that easy.

FABULOUS FOLIAGE!

Create all season magic in your garden with the greens, golds and silver sheens of Euonymus fortunei cultivars.
With stunning foliage and sumptuous sounding names you won’t be able to resist. Fully hardy and able to cope with the winter frosts to come, these cultivars are superb for your winter patio containers.
Pep up your patio as the grey weather sets in with some striking colourful foliage.
‘Emerald Gaiety’ has green leaves with white margins that bear pink tinges in winter. This shrub is compact, reaching an ultimate height of approx 1 metre at 10 years old. ‘Emerald ‘n’ Gold’ - the gorgeous, deep yellow margins and green hearts on the leaves of this plant never fail to get noticed. All of these varieties are grown on the nursery by St Bridget Nurseries in Exeter and are available to buy for £6.25 each at their garden centres.

Don't forget...
Stand containers on bricks or smarter pot feet to avoid waterlogging and drowning roots. Pots containing tender (plants that are not hardy and therefore at risk from frosts) should also be wrapped up warm this winter. Either bring your pots inside or wrap them up in protective fleece and bubble wrap all available from a garden centre like St Bridget Nurseries.
