Top Pots Garden Centre, on the Westmill Farm leisure complex, is situated on the A602 just north of Ware in Hertfordshire. It incorporates its own nursery plus a full landscaping section within the site.
Peter and Cris first established the nursery in 1991 for plant and hanging basket production, after being approached by local Hertfordshire brewers, McMullen's. We started to re-supply their public house chain with hanging baskets and containers.
Since then, the nursery and garden centre have increased in size, with the bulk of our seasonal bedding and container plants grown on site. More recently we have extended the number of perennials we also grow. The majority of our vegetable plants are grown from seed (organic wherever possible) using traditional hand-sown techniques, just as you would at home.
We also pride ourselves in our professional advice and our ability to source any plants not grown on site from reputable UK growers.
Also stocked is a comprehensive range of sundries, composts and seeds for gardeners, plus wild bird food and feeders.
All in all a gardeners' Garden Centre.
Pots, Tools and Accessories
We stock a wide range of fertilisers, pesticides [including organic], accessories and tools to suit all gardeners.
Wild bird food is purchased in bulk to ensure quality and is pre-packed on the nursery. This is accompanied by a wide selection of feeders and wildlife houses.
Seed potatoes in season are sourced through Taylors of Holbeach as are onion sets, shallots and garlic.
For your watering needs, Gardena is our favoured supplier and includes their Micro-drip system which we have been installing for many years. If we don't stock it please ask and we will do our best to obtain it for you.
Plants
The majority of our vegetable plants, herbs and seasonal bedding plants are grown on the nursery. Plants not grown on the nursery are sourced through quality UK growers.
We pride ourselves in trying to produce the best quality plants for your garden, with a superb range of varieties both ornamental, fruit and vegetables.
Our retail flower and vegetable seeds are supplied by the old establised company Fothergills. Seed potatoes in season and autumn/spring bulbs, onion sets, shallots and garlic come from Taylors Bulbs of Holbeach.
The Nursery produces a comprehensive range of vegetable plants, over 200 varieties, including tomato, cucumbers, peppers (sweet and chilli), squashes, brassicas, beets and leaves.
