Great Garden Buys

Oxfordshire and its surrounds are famous for outstanding food and hospitality: from farms, growers and markets to cafes, pubs and restaurants. We are delighted to have the chance to feature some of the very best.

Professional ceramics designer, potter and founder of Charlotte Manser Ceramics, Charlotte Manser is passionate about teaching and building a ceramics community that enhances the craft industry.

Growing your own seeds is an affordable and rewarding method to replenish your garden and enjoy beloved blooms year after year. Julian Palphram, Head of Plants at British Garden Centres describes seed harvesting as “like investing in your garden's future. Not only does it save you money…but it ensures you have healthier and more resilient plants.”

Houseplants can add life, greenery, and health benefits to our homes but they also sometimes attract unwanted guests – tiny pests that can wreak havoc on your beloved flora.  We were lucky enough to get advice from Tom Cook who is the Houseplant Buyer for British Garden Centres.
