Our Garden Shop. How to explain what our Garden shop has? The focus is environmentally sound good quality products that we would like to buy ourselves. The concept was to cross a traditional ‘4 candles’ counter shop with a American livery shop. The shop sits in a converted garage and has been recently expanded in to our Wildlife shipping container shop.. christened Lisa Stansfield… because its ‘been around the world’.

Richard Carter has been making tools since the 19th Century, now the last scale manufacturer in the UK, the tools have a simple utilitarian feel with strong handles and good quality steel. We also stock Niwaki tools that combine the best Japanese craftsmanship with centuries worth of quality steel working experience. These are tools built to last for decades rather than a couple of years.

If a product (seed, liquid and solid feeds) can be sold by weight or volume without single use plastic we do it! We use Moles seeds which are UK sourced for our seeds by weight (and our own grown plants) and Franchi seeds for packet sales.. both brilliant quality and great value. Our feeds are weight sold including blood fish and bone, general purpose organic fertilizer and specialist growth promoters like Rootgrow.. Rootgrow is great example of a product we love sell, it contains pure mycorrhizal fungi and aids the promotion of growth in numerous barerooted plants we sell, the product is created by Empathy a company based a few miles from us in Sittingbourne,

We are constantly thinking about gardening related products to sell that we love. From locally made gardeners soap and hand creams to Falcon Tin mugs and tea pots for well deserved gardening breaks. Other local products include coppice fencing and posts, Kent has great tradition of coppice work and it must be one the greenest products available worked locally at Torry hill.

Wildlife shop

We have a whole new space thanks to purchasing a used shipping container. It now houses some really lovely products that we hope will encourage wildlife into gardens. We have looked for great design linked to sustainability. Recycled materials and plastic free packaging are all vital to us. We have a range of wild birdfood for sale either loose or in our recycled plastic ‘tub for life’.. another innovation to cut down on single use packaging.
