Plant Supports, Canes & Stakes in Enfield

Plant Supports, Canes & Stakes.

Whether you need to support a ‘floppy’ perennial plant as it grows or secure a new tree when planted, we have a support solution for you.

We offer a wide range of custom supports to suit most applications & budgets. If you need to build a runner bean cage etc we offer bamboo canes sold individually rather than in packs like most other retailers. This means that you can buy exactly the amount that you need without having left overs. For something with more longevity, we also have the plastic coated alluminium alternative.

When it comes to perennials or flowering plants we have the types of supports that are put in place before the plant becomes too big. This allows the plant to grow through the support. These are available in basic forms or if you prefer something more sturdy & decorative, there is a selection from Tom Chambers which are plastic coated steel, in a number of designs. Some of these supports are designed to be retro fit so that they can be put in place once the plant has grown. Available in a selection of sizes so some can even be used to correct shrubs as many of these can ‘flop’ when in heavy flower, hydrangeas are a good example.

For larger shrubs & trees there is a range of hardwood stakes. These are long lasting & ideal for initial support required to prevent ‘root rock’ when a new tree is planted. A new tree should have its root system secure whilst its root system expands to take grip of surrounding soils. Wind rocking the plant excessively can constantly break these new fresh roots as they develop. Stakes also proove useful in other areas of garden DIY including making a temporary prop for a wonky fence panel.

Despite not providing fencing we do offer a few basic trellis options. We strive to maintain a selection of wooden fixed format trellis in two or three sizes plus a range of expandable trellis in wood or hazel alongside a small selection of obelisks. These are ideal solutions for growing climbing plants against a fence panel, brick wall or in containers. You can even create a tall focal point in the middle of a border by growing a climber up a well placed obelisk.

As well as the more structrual items above, we supply plenty of the solutions that you may need for securing the plants to whatever support that you choose. Strings, wires, plant ties etc are located in our store along with many other garden sundries.

Accessibility

The vast majority of our sales areas are accessible to all. Pathways are either tarmac or concrete both outside & inside greenhouses. We have done our best to make sure that most areas can be reached by wheelchair users although in few areas this has not been 100% possible to achieve. It is an ongoing aim of ours to improve on this situation further.

You will find three designated wheelchair friendly parking zones adjacent to the shop entrance plus several other parking spaces around the car park which provide ample space for easy access to a vehicle once parked. We provide Male, Female & Accessible toilet facilities. Should you need to borrow a wheelchair, we have two, free to use, ‘push along’ style chairs on site. These are available on a ‘first come first served’ basis & you cannot book or reserve their use in advance of your visit. We advise that wheelchair users are accompanied during their visit as there are some slopes that may prove tricky for inexperienced users. Our site is on a natural gradient & we have managed to mitigate this in some areas but not all.

Should you require any internet based services to assist you, you can log onto our free WIFI whilst you visit. Just ask a member of staff for the access code when you arrive.

We have six ‘St Johns Ambulance’ trained first aid operatives within our staff. They are fully qualified in the ‘First Aid At Work’ training module. There are a number of first aid kits at their disposal around our site including an AED device.

Established in 1928

Not many Garden Centres can boast over ninety years of history, and yes, we have seen many changes over that period. Indeed change will continue as we strive always to supply the best in plants and facilities. One thing, however, will never change:

The core philosophy first introduced by Archibald John Mills way back in 1928 remains - the philosophy that built the company’s reputation, sustains it now, and will guide it in the future:

The best way to keep gardeners happy is to offer them plants of the highest quality, sold at reasonable prices.

Horticultural Trades Association.

We are proud members of the HTA, the Horticultural Trades Association, which is ‘the’ UK’s garden trades association. The HTA has, for over 100 years, promoted the interests of its members and the industry at large.

Being a member offers us various benefits and for you, the customer, the membership should provide you with some reassurance that we are an establishment of quality that takes its responsibilities to its customers seriously.

It also enables us to offer you access to HTA backed schemes such as the national gift vouchers which are redeemable at other HTA partner businesses across the country.

Perennial GRBS

We are also proud to say that our chosen charity is Perennial GRBS (Gardeners Royal Benevolent Society). We are a Perennial Partner which means that we make an annual contribution to this worthy cause whose sole aim is to help people in many branches of horticulture including arboriculture, farming, professional gardening etc during their hours of need. Occasionally we will attach a donate button to our Facebook posts which will enable you to donate directly to this charity should you feel so inclined. Our industry is eternally thankful to those who are able to donate even the smallest amount. To find out more about their work please feel free to visit their website https://perennial.org.uk/

Dog Friendly.

We are a dog friendly establishment. We are listed with www.dogfriendly.co.uk who’s aim is to provide a directory of dog welcoming businesses accross the UK. All that we ask of you as a dog owner is that your four legged friend is kept on a lead at all times whilst wandering around the Nursery and that you clean up after them should the enivitable ‘accident’ occur.

You may access all areas of the Nursery with your pet but we ask that on busy days, you avoid queing at the tills with them especially if they are not very good around strangers. This area can feel a little confined & we feel that for anxious dogs it is best avoided. Most of the time however, you are welcome to queue & pooch may even get a dog treat if they are allowed.

One thing that we frown upon severly is the leaving of dogs in cars whilst owners are shopping. There is no excuse for this here & we have been known to release pets from boiling hot vehicles by all means at our disposal.
