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!
🌸 Best of the Season – Fresh from Our Nursery
Looking for seasonal stars that are looking especially lovely right now? These three are flying off the benches - and for good reason.
🌿 Potentilla – Long Flowering & Low Fuss
With masses of cheerful blooms from spring to autumn, Potentilla is one of the easiest shrubs you can grow.
We’ve got two lovely varieties right now:
‘Kobold’ – vibrant yellow
‘Pretty Polly’ – soft salmon-pink
Both are available in generous 5L pots for £17.99.
Where to plant: Sunny spots are best, but Potentilla can cope with some light shade.
How to care: Water regularly in the first year. After that, it’s drought tolerant and happy with a once-a-year prune in early spring to keep it neat.
💙 Ceanothus – California Lilac in Full Bloom
These evergreen shrubs are bursting into beautiful blue flower right now, and we’ve got big frame Ceanothus grown in 3L pots for £29.99—perfect for adding instant impact to your garden.
Where to plant: A sunny, sheltered wall or fence is ideal.
How to care: Prune lightly after flowering to keep the shape. They don’t like wet feet, so good drainage is key.
🌸 Wisteria ‘Sinensis Prolific’ – The Classic Climber
Nothing beats the scent and spectacle of a flowering Wisteria. We grow ‘Sinensis Prolific’ in 3L pots—yours for just £14.99.
Where to plant: Full sun is a must, and plant near a sturdy support like a pergola, wall, or archway.
How to care: Wisteria needs regular pruning twice a year (once in summer, once in winter) to encourage flowers and keep it tidy. Feed in early spring for the best blooms.
🤍 Achillea ‘New Vintage’ – Compact, Cottage Garden Style
A hardy perennial with flat clusters of flowers loved by bees and butterflies. The ‘New Vintage’ series is more compact, perfect for pots or smaller borders.
Available now in-store – £7.99
Planting tip: Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Deadhead spent blooms to keep the flowers coming.
All three of these nursery-grown favourites are available now at Hare Hatch—drop in and have a browse while they’re looking their best.
