The weeks leading up to the Newark Garden Show are going to be a whirlwind of activity. Preparations are in full swing with a mix of excitement and hard work filling every day. We are eager to showcase not only our classic products but also some fresh creations designed to inspire gardeners of all levels. If you plan to visit the show, you’ll have the chance to see demos of our unique plant-by-colour garden recipe kits and even try them yourself.
The Preseason Rush: What’s Keeping Us Busy
Preparing for a major garden show means juggling many tasks at once. Right now, we are focused on several key projects:
Creating new border kits: We are putting together copper and cream border kits, summer breeze border kits, and a special shady kit collection. These kits are designed to suit different garden conditions, including those tricky shady spots where many plants struggle to thrive.
Planting spring planters: Our spring planters are being filled with a variety of colourful blooms. These will be part of our display at the show and promise to bring a burst of colour to any garden.
Website updates: We are redesigning our website to offer a simpler “by the metre” kit option. This new format will allow customers to choose whether their kit is visible all around or placed against a fence or wall, and whether it will go in a planter or directly in the ground. This change aims to make it easier for customers to find the right plants for their space and for us to prepare the perfect kits.
Balancing these tasks means long days and careful planning, but the end result will be worth it.
What You Can Experience at the Newark Garden Show
One of the highlights of the show will be the opportunity to see our plant-by-colour garden recipe kits in action. These kits take the guesswork out of planting by grouping plants that complement each other in colour and growth habit. At our stand, you can:
Watch live demos showing how to assemble the kits
Try planting your own kit with guidance from our team
Learn tips on caring for the plants to keep your garden thriving
This hands-on experience is designed to make gardening accessible and enjoyable, even for beginners.
Exploring Our New Kit Collections
We are particularly excited about the new kits we are launching this season. Here’s a closer look at each:
Copper and Cream Border Kits
These kits combine warm copper tones with soft cream flowers to create a sophisticated and elegant border. They work well in sunny spots and add a touch of refinement to any garden.

Summer Breeze Border Kits
Inspired by the lightness of a summer breeze, these kits feature airy plants with soft textures and cool colours. They are perfect for creating a relaxed, natural feel in your garden.

Shady Kit Collection
Many gardens have areas that receive little sunlight, making planting a challenge. Our shady kit collection includes plants that thrive in low light and bring life to those difficult spots. This collection is ideal for under trees, along fences, or in other shaded corners.

The New Website Experience
Our website redesign focuses on simplicity and clarity. The new “by the metre” kits let you choose:
Whether the kit will be visible from all sides or placed against a wall or fence
If the plants will go in a planter or directly in the ground
This approach helps us recommend the right plants for your specific situation and makes ordering easier for you. While we work through the transition, some products might not be visible or fully detailed yet. If you have questions or can’t find what you need, please reach out. We enjoy hearing from customers and want to make sure you get the best advice and support.
Preparing for the Show: Behind the Scenes
Getting ready for the Newark Garden Show involves more than just assembling kits and planting planters. It means:
Testing new plant combinations to ensure they grow well together
Designing attractive displays that highlight the beauty and practicality of our kits
Practising how we can give helpful demonstrations and answer questions confidently
Each step is important to create a memorable experience for visitors and to showcase the quality of our products.
Why These Kits Matter for Gardeners
Our plant-by-colour garden recipe kits are more than just pretty arrangements. They offer practical benefits:
Simplify planting: No need to research which plants work well together; the kits do the work for you.
Save time: Pre-selected plants reduce shopping and planning time.
Enhance garden health: Carefully chosen plants support each other’s growth and reduce maintenance.
Add style: Colour-coordinated kits create a polished look without effort.
Whether you have a large garden or a small balcony, these kits can help you create a beautiful green space.
We hope to inspire you to try something new and make gardening easier and more enjoyable.
