I developed my gardening business - Trug & Lettuce - several years ago alongside my 9 - 5 day job. When my circumstances changed I spent more and more time in my own garden and allotment, and in gardens for an ever increasing number of customers.

​

Amongst other gardening projects, I worked as the head gardener in a large property on the outskirts of Bristol and alongside an established and renowned garden designer in Somerset.

​

As Trug and Lettuce grew, and as I worked on more and more gardens for customers throughout Somerset and Wiltshire, I developed a number of contacts with professional plant suppliers across the area. Many of those nurseries supply the RHS, and garden centres close to my home town of Frome.

​

I have sourced and supplied many different types of plant - from perennials to pleached Holm Oaks. If I’m unable to source something from my local suppliers then I use my many contacts to look further afield.

​

Many of the plants I have supplied have been for gardens that I was working on or for customers who specifically approached me and asked me what I could source for them. I've also sold plants at regular plant sales in and around Frome.

​

I'm registered with DEFRA as a professional plant supplier (139545) and I pride myself on the quality and health of the plants that I supply.

 

I personally select all of the plants that I source. If I wouldn't pick them for my garden then I wouldn't pick them for yours. And if, when I personally deliver them to you, you aren't happy with them then I take them back with me - no quibbles.
