How it works…
Why Professional Planting Matters
It's not just about putting plants in holes. Planting depth, root preparation, soil contact, spacing, and initial care all dramatically affect whether your plants thrive or struggle.
Many garden centre plants fail not because they were poor quality, but because they were planted incorrectly—too deep, too shallow, root-bound, or without proper soil preparation.
With our RHS horticultural training and years of hands-on experience, we give your plants the best possible start.
