  • Last few signed Alan Titchmarsh books available

    Wisley Plant Centre on 22 Apr 2009 at 10:23 AM

    We had such an uplifting evening in the plant centre last week.  Alan Titchmarsh came to give a Q & A session and to sign books for enthusiastic customers. 

     

    We had the sound system in place in our pavilion so everyone could hear the Qs and As.  Alan dealt with every question in a witty and gentle way, generously sharing his knowledge about gardening and with such humour that he had his audience of 250 in stitches.

  • Recycle your old garden tools for schools - at Wisley Plant Centre

    Wisley Plant Centre on 17 Apr 2009 at 08:53 AM

    I've just had fantastic news from our alpine department supervisor.  He's just cleared out all the unwanted tools from their shed and brought them over to us for recycling.  If you've ever looked at that broken fork in your shed and reminded yourself to repair it (was it 2 years ago you said that?), then please let us help you out.  On behalf of The Conservation Foundation, we collect old, broken garden hand tools - from our staff, customers and now, I hope, from you.  They're whisked away to the prison workshops at HMP Wandsworth where the prisoners refurbish them and send them off to a renewed working life in local schools and community projects.  Here's a pic of some very happy school children with their refurbished tools.

  • Eat your Easter eggs in style

    Wisley Plant Centre on 09 Apr 2009 at 11:43 AM
    Get set for Summer with one of our stylish French patio furniture sets. 

    We have been selling these successfully with slight changes to the colour range each year. They are made using recycled materials and the most hi-tech 13-step metal treatment process' then coated in hard wearing ecological paint to make it colour fast and robust so it always looks fresh on your patio.  

    Our range includes classic Bistro tables and chairs that can fold flat. We also offer the Fermob 1900, a larger more ornate table with curled legs and a perforated designed top, and has stacking chairs. We even have a fun hanging armchair which would look great hanging from a sturdy old tree. The furniture is superb for the patio or terrace but also consider it for inside the house or conservatory. I have a set in my kitchen which looks very smart and is ideal as a breakfast table. 

    Our Bistro furniture comes in the colours Willow (see picture), sable and savanna. Tables start at £115. Matching chairs £60.
    Buy the Bistro 60cm table and 2 chairs for £195 and save £40.
    Buy the Bistro 96cm table and 4 chairs for £345 and save £50.          

    Bistro in Willow     Fermob 1900 in Stone-grey

    The Fermob 1900 is available in willow or stone grey (see picture). Fermob is the first furniture company with leading standards for special waste recycling, collection and disposal and they are set to gain the enviromental ISO 14001 by the end of the year. So you can be sure that your new patio set is not harming the environment. 

    Happy sitting.
