Back to our Roots … a Passion for Plants

Over the past 80 years our family dream has evolved from a small, specialised plant-based business into the unique environment visitors enjoy today. Despite all our growth and expansion our passion for plants, and for growing and cultivating, remains as strong as ever. The Bents story has progressed from a love of growing roses to an entire family’s dedication to providing visitors with a truly inspirational shopping experience for the garden. We aim to combine our expertise in plant knowledge with unique design solutions to transform your outdoor living space, all delivered with the highest levels of customer service. The garden is a truly magical place which can provide year-round enjoyment, and the pleasure taken from colourful seasonal blooms is always the same. Wander into our Open Skies Glasshouse and whatever the weather – and regardless of what time of year it is – you will find a range of beautiful plant choices for your garden and patio areas. Whether you’re looking for something to evoke the senses, to create a shady retreat or encourage wildlife in the garden, our experts will help you choose the right plants for your garden and we have something to suit every taste.

Something for… … the senses, the fragrant French Lavender evokes all the senses, not only with its beautiful musky smell, but also by attracting the distinct buzz of bees and adding a splash of wonderful colour to the garden. … a shady retreat, there are many perfect choices for shadier and damper parts of the garden, and shade definitely shouldn’t mean hidden from view. The rich green foliage and vibrant blooms of the Camellia should be on full view to be appreciated. … an exotic experience, exotic doesn’t just apply to tropical climates. There are many choices that will suit our moderate conditions such as Zantedeschia with its luxurious and extravagant appeal. ...encouraging wildlife, trees and shrubs provide essential food and protection for many birds and small mammals. The bold, large flowering Echinacea is a great choice to attract nature into your garden. … the enthusiast, some people are naturally green-fingered and are always on the lookout for a new challenge. The heavily scented Daphne Odora ‘Rebecca’ requires skilled nurturing and will reward with fantastic results.
