TODAY we are launching a very special campaign in partnership with Scottish Secondary Breast Cancer charity Make 2nds Count.

£1 from EVERY sale of our beautiful home grown Poinsettia Princettias will be donated to this fantastic cause!

Are you planning on arriving straight from work to our fashion event on the 26th September? You can pre-order food for when you arrive for just £4.50 extra. Our chefs will be preparing stovies, and freshly made sandwiches served with crisps, including the following fillings: 

- Coronation chicken
- Tune sweetcorn & mayo
- Cheese & Chutney

We can also accommodate for vegan, gluten free and any specific dietary requirements too. Please see our booking page: 

September has crept up on us already. Years ago it marked the end of the gardening season, but with warmer temperatures there is still time to enjoy your outdoor space. Next week at Pentland Plant we will have a big delivery of fantastic new stock, so keep an eye on the benches for lots of exciting new varieties. In the meantime, here are are our top recomended gardening jobs to help you get the most from your garden this month. 

• Keep deadheading your plants - including roses too! 
• Keep on top of general cutting back and tidying throughout the garden
• Now is a good time to apply an autumn lawn feed to keep your grass healthy throughout the year ahead
• Clip your hedges 
• Plant your spring flowering bulbs
• Move tender plants under cover to protect them during the colder days
• Replace your summer bedding as it comes to an end with plants for winter. Don't forget to keep these plants watered though! 

If you need a little help and inspiration with your garden please just ask one of our knowledgeable members of staff. It's sometimes hard to know what will grow well in exposed, bright or shady areas. How to plant a container with bulbs for a professional looking display in the spring. How to repair a lawn that has been well used by family and pets over the summer. Whatever questions you have - our team can offer some great tips and inspiration!

It's that wonderful time of year again when the garden has finally come back to life. This month is the very best time to plant bedding and basket plants. Give your plants a good start now and they will see you through all the way until Autumn!

You may have heard us say that our plants are home grown, but what does that really mean? The Spray family are passionate about growing plants and have been for nearly 100 years. Today we grow over 50 million plants on site in our nursery and supply garden centres and nurseries all over the country. 

Unlike other garden centres that buy in all of their plants, our bedding, basket and many of our perennials are home grown. No long journeys - they're just freshly picked in the nursery and then placed on the bench in the shop. Everything we grow has been carefully selected and nurtured by our nursery growers. We're not tied in to particular varieties and suppliers, so each year we travel to Europe to select the very best varieties from the world's greatest breeders to then grow here at Pentland Plants. We're 100% independent, which allows us to be flexible, reactive and offer our customers quality that can't be found elsewhere. 

We hope that when you are planting your garden this spring you will think of us. The garden centre is in full bloom just now with the most wonderful plants. We're open late weekdays until 6pm each night in May and June, and our knowledgeable team are always on hand to help with any questions or queries. 

We hope to see you soon,

Carolyn Spray
