ALPINES
Alpine plants are plants whose natural habitat is mountain slopes, above the tree line approaching the line of perpetual snow. One of the most famous European Alpine flowers is the Leontopodium alpinum, also known as Edelweiss.
BAMBOO
Bamboo are a group of perennial evergreen (except for certain temperate species) plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family.
CLIMBERS
Climbing plants have always successfully competed for space and light in a competitive environment; hence they are ideal for today's contemporary gardens where space can be at a premium. They can work with other plants and offer opportunities for display without compromising on space.
DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS
Drought tolerant plants are plants that can sustain significant periods of drought without suffering undue harm. However, even drought tolerant plants will need watering after planting until their root systems become fully established.
FERNS
Most outdoor ferns are resilient and can be happily planted in many awkward spots in a garden; dark corners, on banks, under trees, cracks in walls, paving, or damp woodland spaces. An assumption often made, is all ferns need wet/boggy soils to succeed; there are those that will perform well in those conditions, but many of the species described actually require well-drained positions.
GRASSES
Grasses are a most useful addition to all garden and landscape plantings. The grass family has representatives from around the globe, from New Zealand, Mexico and South America to North America, Asia, Africa and Europe.
These versatile plants offer great variety in colour and texture throughout the seasons.

SHADE PLANTS
Success with shade gardening is more a question of attitude then anything else. Don’t moan over what you can’t grow, learn to rejoice over what you can grow.
You’ll discover there are hundreds of beautiful plants that ask for nothing more than a shady nook in which to thrive.
SHRUBS
Shrubs have many uses in the garden and landscape planting and are often used to divide a garden and act as a background for other plants. Many shrubs can be trained as wall shrubs, providing a more substantial plant than a climber, or with a bit of artistic flair to form topiary.
SUNDRIES
Fertiliser and various other items to help you give you plants optimum growing conditions.
