David Austin’s English roses have earned cult status for good reason. They’re reliable, repeat-flowering, richly scented, and utterly gorgeous—from the first warm days of May to the last rose in October.
At £25 each, they’re a brilliant investment: robust enough for modern gardens, with the beauty and character of old-world roses. These roses are usually over £30 to buy nearer to £35. But with us you always enjoy our club price!
Ever wondered where your garden plants come from? At The Gardening Club at Hare Hatch, we’re proud to say: many of them are grown by us, right here in the UK.
We work closely with our own nurseries—including our site at Clacton in Essex and our Suffolk nursery at Woodbridge - to grow strong, healthy plants that are ready to thrive in your garden. That means the kind of quality you can only get from people who genuinely love what they do.
Even our team at the garden centre gets stuck in—Rob’s started growing hanging baskets at Hare Hatch this season, and they’re already looking fantastic! Time to crank up the nursery tidy up and get some more plants in.
From bedding and perennials to shrubs, climbers, and herbs, we bring our nursery-fresh plants straight to the shop floor, so you get top-quality plants at excellent value. That’s The Gardening Club way and why membership is our loyalty scheme. The prices are astounding!

Yes, we’re in May – and it finally feels like it! But as glorious as the sunshine is, it’s time to think ahead… because the plants you choose now will be the ones you’re caring for during the summer heat. If you're filling a sunny spot – whether it's a border, patio pot or balcony box – let’s be smart about it.
This is your chance to get ahead with tougher, more drought-tolerant varieties that can handle the heat with a lot less fuss. They’ll still give you colour, scent and structure – but without the constant watering and wilting drama. 💦
