We have been so busy building our business we have totally neglected our BLOG. From here on in we will try at to give regular updates. Lets start with this little Phoenix Palm heading off to a new home in Sandbanks. Sourced for a Landscaping customer this is s good indicator of how far our business has come…
One Year On
After our first full years trading we are celebrating this landmark by launching our online catalogue. Have a look - go on dare you...
Spring 2016
We are ready to go across our Garden Centre and C&C businesses having worked hard over the winter period to get our offers where they need to be.
We are very much looking forward to this 2016 Spring season an look forward to sharing with you our progress.
Autumn Garden Centre availability list now in
So how hard can it be to pull together an Autumn plant availability list, suitable for a broad range of retailers, whilst remaining true to our values of Quality, UK focus and Value for Money?
Answer: HARD...
Please take a peek and let us know here at The Plant Yard what you think. The list can be downloaded from the GARDEN CENTRE tab on our PRICE LIST page.
Patio Ready Plump Olives and Fruited Citrus
Fresh from Sicily into The Plant Yard, we had quite literally a gorgeous delivery of Olives and Citrus in fruit and are looking absolutely fabulous.
We are selling them into our Garden Centre and Farm Shop customers either as set format Mixed Trolleys or by the shelf.
Full details can be found within our Price List page...
Despite the rain the sunshine is arriving in BOLDRE
Despite a wet and pretty grey week ahead, we have a glimmer of sunshine due over Boldre later this week as our first delivery from Sicily arrives. Olives in full, plump fruit (both bush and standards) and a lovely selection of citrus including limes, lemons and oranges.
All of these will be available for delivery out to our customers from wc 20th July so please download a price list or give us a call. As they say in sunnier climes "Ciao Bella"...
It's Launch Week
After what sometimes feels like an absolute age our launch week is upon us. We have had fabulous feedback regarding our site (designed by Nicky Ackland-Snow) and encouraging reactions from customers and in the trade press too http://www.hortweek.com/new-plant-trader-plant-yard-launches/ornamentals/article/1351811
Plans for this week will include the marketing of our 'Opening Offers' and launch of our price lists for our Garden Centres and Landscaping Customers. Oh and off course putting up our new sign here at the Plant Yard...
Website 'go-live' day
So here we are then - there's no escaping us now. Our website went live at 2pm today (16th June) and as planned too, which for Matt and I is not always a given!
We will be beavering away behind the scenes for the rest of June in preparation for the full trading launch of The Plant Yard on 1st July. We will also be at the HTA National Plant Show and have a hidden presence on the stand of one of our UK supply partners so keep them peeled and why not play a real life game of Where's Wally (no stripy jumpers or bobble hats alas!)
