Potted this week
Fresh from the polytunnel
Everything below was potted on in the last seven days and is ready to travel.
The Fernwick promise
We grow what we sell, and we say when it's difficult
Every plant here is raised at our own nursery in the Lea Valley — no drop-shipping, no mystery imports. Each listing tells you plainly how much light it needs, how often it drinks, and whether it will survive a forgetful fortnight.
Hard to kill
Good for a first plant
Forgiving species that tolerate a missed watering — or four.

Almost every houseplant dies of kindness
Overwatering outnumbers every other cause we see. The finger test, properly done.
