Request plants for home delivery

12/1/2021

 
For the health and wellbeing of our staff and customers we encourage everyone to make use of our home delivery service.

We have added a large number of items to our online shop but if you do not see the plants you want please use the Request Plants listing.

Below are lists covering some of our current stock. We have many more varieties which are not on these lists, either because they are in small quantities or because they are still small in their pots.

We will be updating lists, so please keep checking back.

Home delivery ONLY this January

6/1/2021

 
The latest Government restrictions allow garden centres to open but we have made the decision to keep our Newbourne nursery closed to the public for the duration of January.

This is for the health, safety and wellbeing of everyone, and to give a small team of staff the chance to carry out planned reorganisations and refurbishments of the site as we look to the year ahead.
Picture
Our online shop is open for both orders and requests.

We will be working over the coming weeks to add more ranges to the website, so please check back.

As ever, staff will be available to give advice and answer queries so please do phone and email – we are still here to help even if it isn’t face-to-face.

Click & collect is also possible but please do not come to the nursery unless by prior arrangement.
We have spent the last few months potting up a tantalising smorgasbord of garden plants and will be growing many more in the months to come.

From spring bulbs to summer perennials, cheerful primroses to structural trees, roses to shrubs, there is lots to look forward to at Katie’s Garden!

Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas

22/12/2020

 
Katie's Garden is now closed until Thursday 7th January 2021 (unless Government guidelines change).

We will continue to accept orders through our online shop, including special requests, but please note our delivery team will be taking a very well-earned rest over the Christmas period, so deliveries will not resume until the week beginning 4th January.

As this year unlike any other comes to a close we would like to thank everyone who came and shopped with us in the times we were able to open, and everyone who used our home delivery service when we were not.
Picture
We hope our plants have given you great pleasure, and will continue to do so for years to come, with your gardens being places of solace through the difficult times.

As a small team we have worked hard to adapt to the constant changes that have come up throughout the year, often at very short notice, and are grateful to you all for your patience, understanding and good cheer.
Picture
Picture
Online recommendations and reviews are a huge help to small local businesses like ours, so if you have been happy with our service, advice and plants, please consider letting others know on our Google listing and Facebook page.

The nursery phone will not be checked for messages during our Christmas break, so please send us an email if you need to get hold of us.

Charity fundraiser and Christmas clearance sale

20/12/2020

 
To end the season we are offering great savings on our remaining Christmas stock AND will be donating half of all takings to St Elizabeth Hospice.*

We close at 4pm this Tuesday so you have just two days to pick up a bargain while also supporting a really worthy local charity.
Picture
This Monday and Tuesday we will be splitting all our takings 50/50 with Ipswich-based St Elizabeth Hospice.*

Whether you are picking up a bonus Christmas tree at a discount, a few pots of seasonal colour, or are stocking up on plants for projects in the garden ahead of potential lockdowns, half of what you spend will go to help Suffolk people living with progressive and life-limiting illnesses.
Picture
We would love for all our Christmas trees to find a home this December so are offering great discounts on the prices.

Add to your festive displays with a small wee tree for doorsteps or tabletops, make a statement with a statuesque “non-drop” Nordmann Fir in your living room, conservatory or garden, or find room for a slimline six-footer.

Decorate your home with our branches of holly and fir – ideal for table decorations, flower arrangements and wreaths - in exchange for a donation.

We also have a handful of ready-made wreaths and cheerful gift planters left, now priced to clear.

St Elizabeth Hospice volunteers can take your tree away in the new year: register for Treecycling here.

* In-stock items only, including all plants, pots, composts and books. Excludes purchases of gift vouchers. Excludes pre-orders.

More Christmas trees!

11/12/2020

 
Our selection of Christmas trees has had a boost with a fresh delivery ahead of the weekend.

Keep your cut Christmas trees looking their best through the festive season by keeping them in water all times, and away from heat sources such as radiators.

You can also pick up Christmas wreaths and beautiful gift planters for the home. Treat someone special with an easy-care shrub in one of our glazed, terracotta, or metal pots. We also have neat looking wooden barrel planters.

We can post gift vouchers and gardening book Gardening for the Uncommitted directly to the recipient (UK addresses only) - take a look at our Home Delivery section.

Christmas trees!

4/12/2020

 
Picture
Christmas seems to be coming early this year, so we have restocked our selection already!

This December we have the non-drop Nordmann Firs in a choice of heights from 4ft to 8ft ... and in a variety of shapes and sizes!

For prices and more information about our free home delivery service head to our Christmas & Winter page.

Keep your Christmas tree in tip-top conditions by displaying it away from radiators and other heat sources, and by making sure it is in water at all times.

It can be beneficial to cut off the bottom inch from the trunk when you get it home, so that it can drink up water more easily.

And don't forget it can take a few hours for the branches to properly open out after you remove  the netting!

We have lots of Christmas wreaths available too, including decorated, cones & berries, and 'plain' - watch our video tutorial for advice on decorating wreaths to your own personal taste.

Just eight weeks to go ...

You can now pre-order your Christmas tree through our online shop! Choose the variety and size, and let us know whether you would like to collect it from the nursery or have it delivered to your door for free (selected areas of Suffolk only).

This year we will have non-drop Nordmann Firs and the traditional, scented Norway Spruces, in sizes ranging from 4ft to 8ft. If you want bigger, drop us a line!

As well as cut trees, we will also have the same varieties available as pot-grown plants. As they still have their roots they have the potential to last for many Christmasses to come!

You can also select to have one of our Christmas wreaths delivered with your tree.

Pot-grown trees will be available from mid November, and cut trees from late November.

Head to our Christmas & Winter page to find out more about our ranges, and visit our online shop to place your order!

Supporting St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich

17/9/2020

 
Bring colour to your garden and help raise vital income for St Elizabeth Hospice, all from the comfort of your own home.

Order your autumn plants, winter hanging baskets and spring-flowering bulbs from the new Katie’s Garden Plant Centre online shop and earn funds for the Hospice, at no extra cost to you.

For several years the Hospice has worked in partnership with our family-run nursery to earn commission through the sale of plants at Hospice shops and at stalls on the Great Garden Trail.

Plant sales are now resuming at some of the shops but it is hoped the home delivery service will be a convenient alternative for those who are unable to get to them and who still wish to support the Hospice.
Picture

How it works:

Follow the link to the Katie’s Garden Plant Centre home delivery service and click on the Hospice Supporter button from the shopping categories. Make sure you add this to your basket, and then continue shopping as normal.

As long as this item is in your basket when you Checkout, the Hospice will earn 10% commission on your order total, at no cost to you.

You will have the option of collecting your order from the Newbourne nursery or having it delivered to your doorstep for free (selected areas of Suffolk only, minimum spend applies).

Go to www.katiesgarden.co.uk/home-delivery
