We are now closed until 1st March 2021

14/12/2020

 
As this year unlike any other comes to a close we would like to thank everyone who came and shopped with us in the times we were able to open.

We hope our plants have given you great pleasure, and will continue to do so for years to come.

Online recommendations and reviews are a huge help to small local businesses like ours, so if you have been happy with our service, advice and plants, please consider letting others know on our Google listing and Facebook page.

Our supplier nursery, Katie's Garden, will continue its home delivery service through January and February, which covers areas including Ipswich, Hadleigh, Sudbury, Needham Market and Stowmarket.

If you have any queries please contact us here.

More Christmas trees!

11/12/2020

 
Our selection of Christmas trees has had a boost with a fresh delivery ahead of the weekend.

All are "non-drop" Nordmann Firs, including 3ft and 5ft pot-grown trees, and 6ft, 7ft and 8ft cut Christmas trees. Come and see us at Monks Eleigh or order online for home delivery.

Keep your cut Christmas trees looking their best through the festive season by keeping them in water all times, and away from heat sources such as radiators.

You can also pick up Christmas wreaths and beautiful gift planters for the home. Treat someone special with an easy-care shrub in one of our glazed, terracotta, or metal pots.

We can post gift vouchers and gardening book Gardening for the Uncommitted directly to the recipient (UK addresses only) - take a look at the Katie's Garden Home Delivery section.

DON'T FORGET: Festive Fayre on site this Saturday 10am-7pm. We close for the year at the end of this weekend so don't miss out!

Christmas trees and Christmas wreaths are here!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our plant nursery in Monks Eleigh!

Great range of non-drop Nordmann Firs and traditional, fragrant Norway Spruce, sizes 4ft-8ft.

Our wreaths are available plain for you to decorate yourself, or pick some we have already done!

We also have seasonal colour, easy care evergreen shrubs - most suitable for pots, gift planters and our usual range of garden plants. If any friends or family have got the gardening bug this year, Gardening for the Uncommitted: What you really need to know when you don't really want to know by our own Catherine McMillan will make a great gift, as well our gift vouchers.

Take a look at the Katie's Garden online shop to find out more and to see prices.
