- Savouring the juicy sweetness of a homegrown tomato (or ten), relishing the refreshingly cool crunch of a cucumber on a hot summer's day, appreciating the lip-tingling heat of some vibrant chilli peppers... It just doesn't get any better!
- A trip to the local shop to find all that's left in the veg section is some yellow-stickered carrots that want putting out of their misery? Not good. Returning from the garden with a basket full-to-bursting with peppers, peas and dwarf green beans? Bloomin' fantastic.
- Including RHS Award of Garden Merit winners, all of the varieties included are chosen for their heavy cropping, reliability, trouble-free growing and, of course, divine taste.
- So, get stuck in. Get mud beneath the fingernails. Get versed in veg. Get living the life of 'plot to plate', and never look back.Â

Meet Cameron
An experienced hand from seed to harvest
When it comes to veg plants, if Cameron doesn’t know about it? It ain’t worth knowing. They’re one of his horticultural passions and the quality of the produce he – well, produces – at the nursery is testament to that fact. Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
