Tropical Fish are swimming our way...

We're very excited that our coldwater fish are going to have some new friends namely freshwater tropical fish like guppies and the beautiful Siamese Fighters. Our aquatic centre at Clyst St Mary is making space for the tanks due to arrive in a fortnight and so we hope to be selling the fish by the end of October. The team are very excited and with expert Darren leading the way it's set to be a great addition to the garden centre.

Winter Opening Times

So it would seem that summer in our eyes has been (did it?) and gone! We've reverted to our winter opening times so our garden centres are now open Monday-Saturday 9-5 and Sundays 10.30-4.30

St Bridget's Rose(s) of the Year

After a fantastic turnout to our rose field tours last Friday and Saturday, we asked visitors to vote for their favourite rose. We have never received such a spectrum of results. 46 varieties received at least one vote each! Infact, there wasn't a clear winner but a tie between Leonardo de Vinci (shown) and Sexy Rexy. Congratulations to Ms Walton from Bovey Tracey who won her favourite rose ' Lady Penelope' in our prize draw.
