BBQ Benefits
You can help the environment with a double whammy by using locally produced charcoal on your Barbeque. Avoid the damage to precious forests and transportation miles by buying charcoal produced as a by-product from the careful management of Dorset woodland. Our amazing bluebell woods and hedgerows depend on a regular cycle of coppicing to keep them healthy. As a result timber is harvested and converted into top grade lump-wood charcoal ideal for BBQs and Chimneas. The trees rapidly grow back again, locking up carbon dioxide and so the process can be viewed as carbon neutral, unlike the lower grade imported charcoal.

Pots of flavour
Herbs look great in pretty planters and they are useful too. We have a range of classic pots and creative containers ready planted with healthy herb plants ready to snip away at.
Ploughmans fuel.
At the Country Garden Centre you can feast on a Ploughmans lunch with Brie, Stilton or Cheddar as options. Washed down with a refreshing Iced Tea - what could be better!
Banksian Rose
The Banksian Rose (Rosa banksiae) is a rare treasure.
This lovely rambling rose produces graceful sprays of small, double, deep yellow flowers in April and May. Perfect for covering an arch or pergola or for growing through a tree, the lightly scented flowers are followed by attractive rose-hips. Best in a sunny sheltered site.
We have large plants in flower now - always in short supply!
