- The satisfaction of tucking into a sumptuous homemade recipe using your own freshly-harvested vegetables is, to put it simply, unrivalled.
- 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.
- Want to know how far apart to space your vegetable plants? Check out our expert guide.
“This box has everything you need to create a vegetable garden from scratch. Whatever the size of your plot, fill it with these top performing plants and you’ll be harvesting your own fresh veg in no time.”

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Peter Mawer
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
Karen McEwan
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
